Laura and Lawrence I was sorry to hear of your Dads passing. I will always have fond memories of him at Christmas at Granny and Grandad's. He was always a lot of fun and definitely the life of the party. I'm thinking of you.

Alex was know as "Mr. O" to all of Laura's school friends. He treated us all as family and we thought of him as a second dad. He'd take us fishing and camping and fix up our cars for us. He will be greatly missed.

I'm very sorry to hear about Alex. I've known him since I was a wee child, when he hired me to pull his spaniel's pups from under his garage. He gave me history lessons about the Fish&Game club, and was a great story teller. I'll miss him.

Dear Betty, I used to call him "Grumpy Bear" and his face would light up and he would laugh, so many fond memories from the ANAV's. I'm feeling your loss and sending hugs until I can give you one in person.
