Our deepest sympathy to the family. We will always hold fond memories of Uncle Rosy and his independence and love of the outdoors. There was a few good stories dad shared with us when he and Rosy were out together. It'll be a difficult Father's Day with his recent passing, but try to hang onto all the good memories. What a blessing it was for those of you that lived close by and the time you could spend with him in these final years. Loving thoughts, John & Cheryl
