    I only learned today that Real passed on. I knew him in Thunder Bay from a boarding house we both lived in. He was the kindest, funniest, most interesting person and it was a joy spending some time chatting every day. Joy is a word that describes him so well. I am so very sad to know he is not with us anymore. May he rest in peace. My condolences to his family and friends.
