I have very positive memories of Stan Ferguson. He was a remarkable singer- I sang for a few years alongside him and my father Elmer with the Queen Village Community Chorus. I also spent a few weeks on his farm picking peaches. I was rewarded with supremely itchy arms and was told kindly by Stan that my peaches were almost all damaged because I had pulled too hard to get them off! He was a wonderful caring person and Warwick is losing a true treasure.

Remembering your Dad helping the Fletcher family settle into the farm on Iron Mountain Road and all his efforts with the fruit farm and orchards; very good memories when neighbors reached out to each other.
