I am so sorry for your father's death. I remember him as being a kind, gentle man.
My grandfather and I lived next door to you on Cook Rd for years. I see your mother passed also. They were wonderful people. I hope they rest in peace together once again.

I remember working with Vinten at Dana many years ago. He was kind, generous and fun to work with. His humble helpful attitude made the work easier for the younger ones. I haven´t forgot you Vinten. Don Troyer
