All associated with the Uncle Gnarley Blog wish to join in expressing sincere condolences to the family of Jim Learning, especially his partner, Roberta
Frampton Bonafiel.
What can be said except that he brightened the spirits of
those whom he met with his laughter and optimism as he contributed to his
community and his province, honored his native heritage and traditions, stood
up for the principles in which he
believed and passionately defended the preservation of the environment. This he
did, not maliciously, but peacefully - employing his democratic rights. And
those rights were ones that he was always prepared to defend, even at the
expense of his liberty.
What more could any Labradorian or Newfoundlander
expect from a native son!
Rest in peace, Jim Learning.
