George Trakas owned The Old Homestead Hotel and Restaurant in old Quebec. Harold Treggett made a point to make it to all of the funerals. 

I found this funeral was like nothing I had seen before. I was impressed by how emotional this event was. Later, I remember looking at this picture with my mother, and she told me my father believed I would one day be Superintendent. – Brian Treggett
