I would like to express my sincere condolences on the recent passing of your father.
Although I didnt know your dad that well,one of the dozen times or so that we gathered for a family event,I came to realize his great kindness and compassion towards his friends and family.And I do know he was very highly respected thoughout this community.
As you know it was not long ago that my own father passed away,so I have some idea of what you and your family are going through.No...

John, Dawn, Mike & Lisa - Our hearts are saddened at the loss of your Dad. My mind, (Sue) brings me back to all the good times down at the summer house in my growing up years. Your Dad always made everyone laugh and feel good to be around. We were so blessed to have him in our lives. Hold him close in your heart for you were so lucky to be able to call him yours.
