Hello Bob and Gail,
Just noticed the announcement in the Herald yesterday and wanted to share my condolences with both of you in this passing of a generation which was so prominent in all of our lives. This generation was definitely the builders of our society adding value to our lives from which we all benefited and are so truly thankful. My best wishes to you and all your families during this moment in your lives at which time you share all those fond memories which our parents have brought to all of us. God bless.
