We visited in October and had a really wonderful time. The cancer and it's treatment meant that Immo was using a walker for longer distances but it did not stop him from taking walks in the park and along the waterfront. I am so thankful for those days.
Almost as soon as we returned to our homestay after our first day of class on Monday, the phone rang. It was just past 3am in Canada and we knew it could not be good news. Tim's father, Immo, had passed away with Diana by his side. It is hard to internalize that we are not going to see him again, that his planned visit to Hawaii in November will not happen, and that Kekai's trip to Victoria in a few weeks will be with his grandmother only.

Bob and I are sad to lose wonderful Immo and will keep Diana in our hearts (and you as well). We will see Diana soon when we get back to Victoria in mid April ( we're in California now). We chat frequently.

Thank you. I'm glad you will be in Victoria soon, I'm sure Diana will appreciate your support there. You were in California when I was there last but we went for a walk with Immo past your apartment (hoping to see the otter? that swims in those gardens). I hope that California is treating you well and that you are safe from all the storms.
