David Cooper We are very sorry to hear of George’s passing. He was always good to the Coopers and I will always remember the fun times fishing in his boat in the ocean. He will be missed. Ray, Dave, Daryl, Liz, James, and Daniel Cooper
Summer breaks at the lake house were the best. The food was incredible and fishing on Cowichan lake was epic. Thanks for the memories George and Myrna.
