Dear Evelyn and all the family, Our sympathies on the loss of your dear John, a remarkable man who came from England to Canada but was always at home with those he loved. I will always remember his sense of humour, which stood tall beside his dignity and warmth. Love from Nancy and Mike in London -- Old Blighty
