Page 48 In Memory of Friends The St. Mary’s River lost some of its best friends and valuable members of our community in the year past. First was Colin (Duke) Coady of Stillwater. Duke served as a SMRA Director for several years, then started SHOPS, Sherbrooke Opportunities Society, in 2009 to provide education for disabled people in the area. He was the driving force behind SHOPS and president of the group when he died suddenly in April, 2017. His love for politics and ability to fix most anything mechanical made him a very valuable community resource. Next was Jack Duffy of Waternish. Jack passed while on a trip to Newfoundland doing what he loved, fishing. He was a Director of SMRA for several years, always ready to help with river projects like our smolt wheel or habitat restoration. Jack loved telling fish stories and was an avid hunter as well. Then we lost Paul d’Entrement of Aspen from a long fight with heart disease. Paul was a NSSA Director, then SMRA Director for many years. Paul was always ready to lend his support when needed. He participated in habitat restoration projects, revision of SMRA’s constitution, stocking and assessment projects. His outgoing & friendly personality earned him many friends in his travels over the years. Finally, in February 2018, we lost Florence Duffy, wife of Jack, from Waternish. Florence was long-time SMRA Director. She was project manager for construction of our Education & Interpretive Centre in Sherbrooke, then served as Treasurer of the Association for several years. Florence was adept at fund raising & helped the organization immeasurably, always ready & able to take on challenges. We’ll miss them all, but we’ll remember them from their lasting contributions and joy they gave us. From top right, Duke Coady, Jack Duffy, Florence Duffy, and Paul d’Entremont
