Dear Clara, Doug and families,
Please accept our sincere condolences on the passing of your husband and father Sid. Sid was a great member of the McKinnon Dairy staff. I think he started in about 1958. His many years being an ambassador for McKinnon's dairy was much appreciated by the McKinnon family. We are very sorry we couldn't attend the service on Sept. 10th/13 but I had to be at a medical appointment out of town. We wish you all the best to Clara and to all the family. It was great to know your Dad and all of you, how many of the family members actually worked for McKinnon's Dairy? I'll record it for our history. Thanks to you all, your family was a great part of what made McKinnon's Dairy successful for 50 years.
Our sincere condolences,
Ken and Rita

Dear Mrs. Dykstra and family, especially Doug
I will always remember Sid with fond memories, he had a great sense of humour, we met originally in 1972 while I worked in the WCGH kitchen and later while I worked at Safeway on 10th Ave. Take care of yourselves.
