Just saw this in local web news that one of Canada's last surviving Great War veterans passed away on Wednesday. He volunteered at age 15.

William Procter lived at a care facility in Enderby, B.C. He was 106 years young. He went skydiving for his 100th birthday and was still driving his car at 102. He never missed a Remembrance Day ceremony from 1919 until this year.

I believe there are only three survivors left now in Canada.
Wow ... what a strong and thriving spirit he was!!! And what a loss ... I'll bet many people are really sad to lose him



Three survivors left Ah ...
