   I found your site while trying to locate where my uncle Fred Koch is buried. When I did an internet search I found an article written by Nellie Dale in Walls Can Talk in WhatsupYukon that mentioned my uncle who Built the Norgetown Laundry… Uncle Fred had lived for many years in Whitehorse, at first one of his jobs around town was to deliver heating oil to the different homes. Uncle Fred also worked for I think Drew- Taylor motors as a used sales man. I do remember when I lived in Whitehorse and attended F.H. Collins school in 1965-66 that the new Camaro car that was brought into Whitehorse was stored in his garage at our home until the grand release to the public. Uncle Fred also owned several warehouses, he also owned and operated a dry cleaner in Riverdale where my aunt Phillis worked. When I stayed with them we lived on Ogilvie St. I think 700 something. On Google Earth their house still exists and so does the garage. The house is a stucco home with reddish window trim and fascia with a few white siding boards.
   I hope I have given you enough information to prove who I am and that I would greatly appreciate if you could locate any information on his interment.
   I am retired and in my 70’s I reside in Thailand and do to my health find it hard to return to Canada, so visiting Whitehorse is not really an option.
   On a funny note my uncle was born in Barrhead Alberta to German parents who homesteaded in Mellowdale Alberta, so he is not Norwegian, where he got the name Norge for the dry-cleaners I was never told.
   Thank you for any help you can assist with.
