So sorry about the passing of PH, the battle he had to fight. My days of knowing PH was Langley. I was in class of 1953. I can say, I did not know him better than his loved ones, but I knew him longer ! My heart and prayers go to you, his loved ones, that he left behind.

Dear Roberta, Donna, Cindy and Debra:
My family and I were so sad to hear of the passing of PH. Suzy P. was kind enough to send us a message.
I remember PH even before you two were married, when I would stay at your house many weekends with John. He was a very good person and would always make a point to talk to us when ever our path crossed, which unfortunately was not very often.
Please except our sincere sympathies in this very difficult time. Our prayers are with all of you and your families.
Sincerely,
The Francheks: Pam, Mike, Andrew and Allison
God Bless

This may be a duplicate; Godspeed P.H., the Gentle Giant. I know how much you loved Roberta and your daughters.
I remember when my Mum was sick, I stayed at your house, in the bedroom with the big fish that gave me nightmares.
And I know that my sweet Roberta will miss you dearly, she loved u so much. As did Aunt Kay and Uncle Johnny. So many people to meet you in Heaven...Jo-Jo, my brother David, my Mum & Dad; Aunt Kay and Uncle Johnny. I love you P.H. Rest in peace.

Godspeed, P.H. You were a dedicated father and husband. Gentle soul. My heart goes out to my precious Roberta, who my Mum loved so much and who I love so very much; and to your daughters, who have made you proud...my brother, David, who loved Roberta so much, greets you in Heaven, along with Jo-Jo, Aunt Kay and Uncle Johnny. You were and are an inspiration to us...
February 8, 2011
Farewell, my P.H. and Love out to you my precious Roberta, who my Mum Loved. I remember you and P.H. taking care of me when my Mum was sick...and I was afraid of the fish in the guestroom!
Roberta, I cherish the example you have set for me...you and P.H. both. You loved your family. P.H. loved all his daughters so much. And you had a love that shined through to the end.
I only wish I may find that kind of love in the future. And, my brother David, loved so much...he has greeted PH at the Gates of Heaven....

Roberta, Although I did not meet your family, I can say, I knew PH in his young and carefree days. As a classmate it is never easy to say good-bye. I know you and your family had the love and devotion of PH and he left you with many memories. My prayers will stay with you, as you try to heal. Mary Jane McWilliams Kelly

PH was one of my favorite "Silver Sneakers" at the YMCA. He always had a smile and chatted with us no matter how he was feeling. After my retirement I called the Y frequently to see how he was doing. He is now in a place where he will no longer be subjected to his illness. He is at peace. He will be missed by all his friends at the YMCA. My prayers are with all of you.
