Mr. A was a special part of my childhood. I loved that the Armitages and my folks let me tag along with going on 'day trips' to nearby towns to find treasures and antiques; playing in the woods behind his house; getting in the way while he and my dad were building a production line of muskoka chairs; house & dog-sitting for Casey but getting scared of the clock on the bedside table that I swear was hissing at us; afternoon visits with tea and jam; and being the young tarbender at many of the GOAT gatherings.
He will be dearly missed.
Sending all my love and deepest condolences to Mrs. A and the rest of the family.
