What's New at Yorkton Aircraft 
With great sadness we say goodbye to Dean Fraser

It was our distinct privilege to do business with Dean.
It was an even bigger privilege
to be considered his friend.
Dean was a one-of-a-kind indivdual who cared about
everyone.
He was very successful in all areas of his life - family, farming,
business, associations, and friendships.
Very deeply respected too,
more
than 500 people attended his funeral in Souris on February 1.
He left this life way too
soon. His remembrance card is here.
RIP Dean.
