Doug, we are so sorry to hear of your Dad's passing. I remember your Mom and Dad watching them cut down the willow tree in our back yard this past May and your mother waving from your sunroom out back. We didn't see them often enough even though we lived only 2 doors away.

Dear Doug:
So very sorry to hear of the passing of your father. Al was such a nice man to know and if you remember, we lived just a few doors down from him in Ste. Therese-En-Haut. Both your Mom and Dad were great people and they will be sadly missed. Our deepest sympathy at this time.
Sincerely, Dianne and Gerry Goreski (Bobcaygeon, Ontario)
