Dear Mrs. Traxler, Linda and Jana, I was so sorry to hear about the passing of your husband and father. Please accept my deepest sympathy.
I have the fondest memories of our youth and the beloved Czech farm of the sixties and seventies! Remember, Michael (Misa) and Lala who spent many evenings in your cozy cottage and pleasant company. And the ski trips that provided as much entertainment as exersize. Thinking of you at this sad time,

Dear Mrs. Traxler--I was so sorry to hear of your husband's passing. I was always so impressed by his energy, humor, and enthusiasm for life and of course his talent. He was a good friend to my father. My thoughts are with you.

Our deepest condolences and sympathy from the Vidlak family. Our parents Frank and Ann and uncle John knew George and your family back in Montreal. We had the distinct pleasure of having George over for a dinner party a few years ago here in Edmonton and were totally amazed at his intellectual sharpness, memory and musical talents. Our children were inspired. It was memorable.
He's the only individual that I have met that was able to say "Peter, I haven't seen you for over fifty years, the last time I saw you was at the Sokol farm".
Our prayers are with you.
The Vidlak family, Peter, Wendy, Erika & Michael
