Donna and family, I am sorry to hear of your dad’s passing. I hope you can always hold close those happy and lovingmemories you shared. Julie Chilibeck
I have so many precious memories of Uncle Deary, as many others must. He was the life of any party. I’m so blessed to be a part of such a fun, loving family.
Many fun memories with the Appel’s . I was blessed to be on many camping/fishing trips with Dave, Greta, Randy, Shane and Donna. Dave always shared his knowledge of the great outdoors and life in general…..I caught the biggest fish at Mahood Lake on one of the Appel adventures…..I still have this photo. Until we meet again Dave!
So sorry to hear about your dad. Ken hunted with your dad around the Prince George area and has memories of many good laughs around the evening campfire as well their hunting trip was successful. Ken and Madelene Hryciw .
