John, Margo, and Moira, your Dad was a kind man whose wit was so sharp it used to intimidate me a little. I know he was well-cared for and thought the world of all of you, and can only imagine how much you will miss him. Your family is in the thoughts of ours. Hope your happy memories of both of your parents keep you going through this sad time. Love, Peter & Sheila Fries
