I am saddened to hear of your loss, prayers for you Marge & the family. Sly gave me my first opportunity in carpentry. I will never forget the things I learned working with him. He was a kind, hard working man. He will be missed by many.

Sly was a kind and gentle man, a former neighbor and loved by all. Syl was a man that found good in everyone, never heard him swear. He was always willing to help and provide his expertise in carpentry. Syl will forever live in a special place i our hearts.
