Celebrating a Long-Time Friend of Hospice Wellington

On July 1, Mike MacIntyre of Gilbert MacIntyre and Son Funeral Home celebrated his 60th year of serving this community. From the early days of Hospice Wellington, Mike helped to open doors in the community to the idea of a hospice – doing interviews on CTV, teaching part of the Volunteer Training Course and being a trusted resource to volunteers. We tip our hats to Mike, we appreciate YOU!
