Ray and family,
I was so saddened today when Brian told me about your father..we go a long way back..He and started Hope school in the same year..me as a student and he as a new bus driver. He was a peach. Then I learned to drive bus from him and will always remember those days..I have pics of him and your mother, Roy and I and Lori at the beach..good times.
Love Jean and family

Ray, Mary & Ron: I'm saddened to hear of your dad's passing. He will be missed. "Mr Blackmore" (to me still) was a great guy who really knew how to control a school bus full of noisy kids. Sorry I couldn't be there in person to express my regrets.

I am very sorry to hear of Norman's passing. He was always very kind and friendly to me. When I was a kid at Clayville school, he once saw me take a fall, got out of the bus and carried me in for medical attention. There are too few people around with that sence of community spirit. He will be missed.
