Our love and thoughts are with Glenda, Julie, Rick and their families.
We remember many times spent with Casper in the “good old days”, such as showing cows with, and against, each other at the local shows – Casper with his Holsteins and us with our Jerseys. What great competition! He was a great dairyfarmer and always took life as it came. It has been a pleasure to know Casper for 60 years.
Respected brother-in-law of Shirley & Colin. Fond uncle of Kim, Judy, Anne-Maree and their families.
Rest In Peace Casper. -
