Dearest Debbie,
So sorry to hear about the loss of your Dear Father. He loved you so much .. I was your first babysitter, I was 10, you were only a few months old! Your Dad cracked me up right until the end .. would see him in CP with Beth the odd time. He sure brought back some wonderful memories. I remember he was a fun card player too. Take care sweetie.

I worked with Alex for over 2 years as a partner with OCRAS in the early 80's. There is not a day that has gone by since Alex retired that I am not reminded of the coffee shops between the Civic Hospital and Bells Corners. As a non coffee drinker it still makes me chuckle whenever I pass one…Alex’s favorite words to Dispatch…4161 10-21 BC. Translated having a coffee at Timmies. God Bless You Alex and to your family on behalf of Heather and I, our prayers and thoughts are with you.

Dear Beth, Deb and Family,
I was truly saddened to hear of Alex' passing. He will be greatly missed by this community. I will miss his sense of humour, kind heart and the fact that he always spoke his mind. I have many good memories, being out at Beth and Alex' home on the lake. Deb and I gave him a couple grey hairs. Great memories... cherish these! Sincerely Liz Brunton

To Beth and the entire family, we offer our most sincere and deepest sympathy for the loss of a very fine man. We will miss his driving by our house every day, his chit-chat on the street and watching him drive up the road on his lawnmower. We still look out our window expecting to see him drive by at any moment. A big loss to his family and our entire little community. So sad! We are here for you Beth. And our prayers are with you all.
