On Thursday evening I was informed by a dear friend and former next door KMHC neighbour there will be a ceremony for the late Albert Decaire at the KMHC courtyard on Friday and I was invited to be her escort. I have good memories of Uncle Albert, when he moved in some years ago I gave him the nickname from the classic Paul McCartney hit song Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey. He got a kick out of it. 😊
The best part of the ceremony is when Luke Johns dressed in Native attire performed native songs and a prayer. Being a former tenant of KMHC for nine years I have made friends along way, even though it was not a social event many tenants approached me with hugs and greetings. With the family’s permission a few photos were taken of the ceremony that I will share in this blog post.
Now I will mention the disruption at the ceremony caused by the nefarious Aunt Opie aka Joan Frame. She doesn’t realize I was there to say goodbye to Uncle Albert and nothing else, yet she chose to be disruptive and disrespectful to Albert’s memory by complaining to staff, making a scene in the middle and end of the ceremony. I stood silently in the driveway and calmly observed her actions. Poor Crystal Mackenze had to babysit Aunt Opie it was like she needed her diaper changed she wouldn’t stop whining and sounded poopy.
It was nice to say hello to Luke, Crystal and Sandra Waboose. As I was about the leave OAHS staff member Jessica Smith felt the need to say something to me about a no trespassing notice that was never delivered to me personally. I chose not to waste my time talking to a unknown mere junior office clerk instead I encourage OAHS property manager Meghan McCarville to pick up the phone and let’s conclude our conversation from three months ago.
It was a nice RIP ceremony and when it was over, I hopped on my bike and left for another appointment.
