It's been an honour and
It's been an honour and pleasure to know this wonderful family for so many years. Their contribution to harness racing and the entire community is so significant. I went to highschool with several of the Byrons and I remember many good times. I'm glad I had one last brief visit with Chuck at the recent Earl Rowe Memorial Trot at Georgian Downs. My love and condolences to the entire family.
