Happy holidays


2009 is about to end.

It wasn’t such a bad year.

My younger brother passed away in May.

MR. TROY ANDREW DU PLESSIS
Of Burk’s Falls

“Pure of Heart”

Suddenly at his residence in Burk’s Falls on Sunday May 24, 2009. Troy was in his 46th year.

“Anything that is real
Cannot be destroyed
Anything that is not real
Does not exist
Therein lies the grace of God”

Goodbye to a friend, and a brother

Troy Andrew Duplessis was born on February 16th, 1964 and he died May 24 , 2009

I didn’t get back home to say goodbye
The service was rushed(from my perspective) and there wasn’t time.
His wife and son had the right to make any final arrangement they chose.
It would have been nice to see him one last time.
We were close. We had our arguments, and even a few fist-fights growing up.
We kept in contact, which – with him in various parts of Canada and me wandering around Asia – wasn’t always easy.

I hope the best for his family
I miss you Troy

Family is otherwise well.

We’re trying to relax over this holiday, and spending time together.
For all, keep well, keep healthy and focus on what is important and essential.
