I send my love and deepest sympathies. Grandad was so kind, loving and open to all. As his granddaughter's best friend, he took me in under his wing and treated me as he would his own grandchild. He did not hesitate to let me run free in his household, teach me to play crib and shuffleboard and to always offer me a seat at the dinner table. It was a gift to have had Grandad in my life and I know he will live on in our hearts and memories.

Sending you our deepest sympathies on the loss of your father. Uncle Cliff was always so nice to us when he visited. I remember so well years ago when i was much younger how he had such great advice about playing hockey and how he enjoyed going to the rink with dad to watch us boys play the game he loved. Keep your memories of him, they help in the healing. Love from Cyril &Susan keating
