Hi Neil and Bruce, Very sorry to hear of your dad. 102 - that is impressive. He was always in great shape so it doesn't surprise me. I do have fond memories of him and I remember his smile. Your mom and dad are together now. They are probably meeting up with our parents, as my mom passed in April 2015, and my dad in November 2015. Maybe they are all having lobsters together. :) I hope you are both doing well. I would love to be in touch with you. Please email if you have a chance. I think you can get my email through this site. I had an email address for Neil, but it was old, as I got it when I was at your moms funeral. I emailed within the last year but it is probably not the right one as that was long ago that I got it. I am thinking of both of you - it is a very tough thing to lose your parents. Love you guys.

Neil and Bruce I am so sorry to hear about the passing of your dad. He was such a great man and I have nothing but great memories of your mom and uncle Con. I just found out about your loss and wish we had known so that we could have offered our condolences before now. Hope you two are doing well and maybe we can all get together someday when we are all in town.

To Bruce and Neil, I was so sorry to hear of the passing of your father. I had been thinking about Uncle Con recently and just today looked online and discovered that he had recently passed away. I let my brother and sister know. Wayne, Nancy and I all have fond memories of both your father and your mother. I wish I had known as I would have come down. I hope you two are well.
