Colleen Thompson wrote a sympathy message

“Marjorie, Wally and John, a great man will be missed by all of you. I met your dad at Senior's bowling in Pinkerton, he put all of the bowlers to shame with his talent. He also met a great niece of mine and assumed the "grampa" role whenever she came to the bowling event. My thoughts are with you at this time. Colleen Thompson (Shirley's daughter).”
