Dear Aunt Eileen, Suzanne & Mike; I'm so sorry for your loss. I know our family hasn't been close, but I do remember Uncle Joe as a soft-spoken, caring man; much like Grandpa Scott was. I remember when I first graduated high school, I wanted to be an electrician & Uncle Joe offered to try & get me on with the TTC; but I was too afraid of the "big city" of Toronto - I should have listened to him! My thoughts & prayers are with all of you. Jackie Scott
