Marilyn, Linda and Chris,

Your dad was a very special man. Even now when we recall memories of him, he brings a smile to our faces. Everyone remembers the napkin jokes at the various gatherings! He will be missed by all. It is our hope that the fond memories people share help you through this difficult time.

All our love,
Ned and Doreen

Dear Chris and family,
I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your Dad. I will always remember the infamous invisible dog,the cigars,his jokes, especially the knock knock ones that only he could make funny,our jitterbug dance lessons,oh, and the fact that he would never let me walk home by myself after dark! What a sweet man, he will be greatly missed.
My deepest sympathy to you all,
Love,
