Cal Foss Sorry that Whaley had to move on but I’m glad I met him on Old East Road as we walked our dogs. I think he had a pretty full life; I enjoyed his tales of the tractor competitions. Good bye Whaley.

Robert & Marianne Eng To the Mar and Jang family. Kindly accept our deepest condolences to the recent passing of Whaley
He will be greatly missed. He was a hard worker and now deserves his rest.
Love from Robert, Marianne Eng and family.
Our dad Yosh worked with Doug and Whaley for many years on the farm in Brooks. Dad has many memories of both Doug and Whaley – the custom combining, the big garden that was shared with many friends, the pets and of course the plowing competitions. Their kindness shown to dad and our family will not be forgotten. Our deepest condolences to the Mar family.
