My deepest condolences to the Horwath family. I worked with Musky for many years in Lingan Colliery. He was a very good worker and all of the boys liked him a lot. He always had a smile on his face. RIP Musky.

I understand that words cannot take away your grief. However, as you grieve your loss , please accept my heartfelt sympathy. I wish you the kind of peace that brings you comfort, courage to face the sad and difficult days, and loving memories to forever hold in your heart. I had met Brian when I worked at Wilma's store when Roclan was out in Prime Brook. After moving to New Waterford we used to see him out the woods on the bikes. He was a great fella.

I am very sorry and saddened to hear of Muskie's passing. My sincere condolences to the Horwath Family and Cindy. He was definitely one the best neighbours to have growing up on Thomas Street. Muskie was always more than willing to help with your bike problems, big or small. He even tried to teach me how to "CatWalk" a few times...Thank you for that!
Rest In peace my friend,
