Deepest condolences for the McLean family.
Lin and Ed. I'm so sorry to hear about your dad. Growing up he was always "Uncle Ray" to me. I have such fond memories of our families camping together and all the winters going from hockey rink to hockey rink. Your dad, had such a kind heart and treated all of us like family. He will be missed, but has left so many wonderful memories in our hearts.
