Nick and family. I have been out of the country but back now and catching up on old newspapers and saw that your Father had passed. Very sorry to see that. Great memories of your Father as my co-worker, Manager and mentor of sorts during my years working at N & D. I hope you gave a great man a good send off. Sincerely, Gary Kaschak Windsor.

Julka. Leigh and I were so sad to hear of the loss of your Dad. Although we never knew him personally, he sounded like quite a character with lots of "fight" in him. I know that you will all miss him a great deal but you have lots of wonderful memories to hold on to. We are thinking of you and Danilo and all of your family. Karen and Leigh
