My deepest sympathies to Peter and Betty-Lou. Your father sold his first house at 555 Guy Street to our Uncle Roy and Aunt Carmel. She so loved that house she never was willing to leave it. Your father gave many happy years to your mother and will be remembered fondly as a very kind and generous man.

Please accept my deepest condolences on the death of Roy. I spent many hours speaking with Roy at the Ottawa Curling Club and found him to be a very nice man. May your fond thoughts help you through these difficult days.
