The final day that Mike Beale saw his son, Danny, they were doing what they loved: spending time together outdoors last weekend at Mike’s hunt club near Calabogie, Ont.
“He was a big fisherman and hunter and just loved being outside,” he recalled. “I guess a lot of that came from me. I feel quite blessed to have been with him just a few days ago.”
Danny Beale, 29, was one of six people believed to have died in Thursday’s explosion that ripped through the south Ottawa headquarters of Eastway Tank, Pump and Meter Ltd., a manufacturer of tanker trucks.
