In Memoriam: The Rev'd Bill LeGrand

Yesterday the Rev'd Chris Hayes and I traveled the 250 km to Saint John to attend the Requiem Eucharist and Celebration of the Life of the Rev'd Bill LeGrade who passed away last Sunday. The Bishop, Claude Miller, celebrated the Eucharist, and the Rev'd Bruce McKenna gave a heart felt homily of his friend and colleague.

I did not know this man, but through the witness of those around it was clear that this many served Christ in humor and love, commitment and directness. He is very much loved and missed.

I don't always have my camera with me, but I did yesterday. Of course I use discression and never take any pictures without a thought of if it is appropriate for a blog. I didn't take pictures in the service, but I did of the reception. The pictures don't show the full scope of the congregation who celebrated this parish priest and hospital chaplain.
