Death

Died on 3 July 1983 in Ottawa, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada according to Ancestry family trees. There is a newspaper obituary here, but frustratingly it doesn't give age, DOB or mention he was a former footballer, so it can't be used as a source. Worth keeping an eye out for something more detailed that we can use instead. @GiantSnowman:, not sure if this is something you can help with?

I can't find anything on Google, sorry. Giant Snowman 12:08, 29 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
