Deepest condolences to all of the MacCoubrey family on your loss.
Carmelle, it breaks our hearts thinking of your loss of Charlie. We met by chance way back in 1993 at a couples line dance class in Scarborough. We have been close friends and kindred spirits ever since. How many Dinners and Plays and Dances over the years. We'll never forget how you two danced the light fantastic over the floors of the many Legion Branch 258 dances 💃 🕺 So many happy memories we will always cherish. We have all lost a true Gentleman and Loyal Friend. Now is the time to take care of you, my forever friend. ♥️ Joyce Logan & John Dawson
