    So sorry to learn of the passing of a former Montreal Wester. I write historical articles for the Montreal West newsletter “The Informer”. I’m currently preparing a series on former Montreal West mayors. Who was her grandfather who was a former Montreal West mayor, as mentioned in the obituary?
    Again, my sincere condolences to the family.
