So sorry to hear this news. We have many fond memories of Aubrey - fishing, fish frys and friendship. RIP Aubrey
Our hearts go out to the Yorke Family. Aubrey was a great friend of ours. Our memories include his wonderful smile, watching hockey games with a huge bowl of popcorn. Nova and Max would be sleeping peacefully at his feet. Epic fishing outings and stories from his many adventures. Jackie you are in our prayers. Memories will sustain us.
Sometimes, if you’re lucky in life, you meet people that leave a mark with you wherever you go. Aubrey was one of those loving souls- I will always cherish the small moments we had together from smoked rainbow to the Benjamin Islands. He will be missed ❤️
Deepest condolences to Jackie and all the family
