My uncle Bill passed away last week. He was the last relative I had on my father's side. Uncle Bill played a role in the re-enactment of the 1814 siege of Fort Erie where (where not when dawn LOL) I was born for over 20 years. He has one last role to play come May. His ashes will be fired out of a cannon in a 21 gun salute in his honour. R.I.P. Uncle Bill.
