I want to let you guys know how sad I am to hear this news. I saw your Dad at Elmwood about 3 weeks ago. He couldn't talk but he knew me. I held his hand for a while and talked about our adventures. I told him I loved him when I left. I was pretty much crushed to see him like that. I thought about all the things we did together, all the fishing, trips to Lake Simcoe, ice fishing and sitting on the pier. Our golf outings and tournaments were a blast. Our softball games were something else. Better head over to the station wagon for some "wind" medicine before we start,Billy. Your Dad was a very special friend to me. I'm sorry that I hadn't seen him much in the last few years but when I saw him, it was like we picked up right where we left off. He was proud of you kids. Take care of yourselves. Billy B
