Sorry to hear of your Dad's passing. We spent many years as neighbours way back and have lost touch over the years. Thinking of you all at this sad time. We recently lost our father in the fall as well and understand what you're going through.

My deepest sympathy to the family. It was a pleasure to see Joe at work every day. He always talked proudly of his family, with that familiar smile. Joe will be missed.
