Dear family;
My heartfelt condolences with the passing of your father and grandfather.
I go back a long time with your parents to the beginning of the Dutch Candian Club in 1972 and also having done business with Dad at All-Track over the years. He was colorful and witty, always good for a joke. He will be missed.
Our thoughts are with you.
Glenna and Peter Vanderlinden.

Dear Joan, Dennis and Carols and family, our deepest sympathy is for you all. We will miss Herman, he was a very nice uncle to me. When I was little and he and Adrie came to holland it was always fun. I was really proud when he came to pick me up form school. And when I was in Calgary in 1993/1994 he showed me the way to walked to the town centre. I have warm memory's off that. Allso when they where in Holland in 1999, they where at our place with Cristmas, we had a nice time with them. Sorry for my english writing, didn't do it for a long time. We wish you the best and in our harts we are with you all. Love Miram, Stephen and Kaylee van Rangelrooy
