I served with Armand in the 1 RCR. We travelled with Armand and Hilda for many years throughout the US and East Coast and spent many winters in Florida. We miss Armand's guitar playing and his sense of humour. Armand liked to write songs that told humorous stories about military life and our travels, like the Gagetown song and Walk Across Texas written for Hubby Hunter. We send our condolences to Hilda and family. RIP Dave and Louise
