I think of you often John, with great memories as I drive down Regan Rd., in Brampton, or pass the old Armstrong farm (Heritage Home).

I am so saddened in hearing this so late while trying to reconnect to you. I have some fond and very fun memories for the periods that you worked up here in Canada with Tod and myself that I will never forget. My condolences go out to Nancy and your daughters. I think about you often as I drive by the Armstrong farm, and you will be very missed. God bless and peace be with you and your family.
