Dear Mrs. Dandridge and Family,
I have known most of you for over 30 years and cannot express my feelings when Donna called me to give me the sad news. I now remember back to some of those hot summer days, many years ago when I lived in Laval, meeting up with Donna and Mr. Dandridge for the ride back to their home and the chance for a really nice cool swim. It was such a treat to have everyone get out of the pool so that we, the Working People, had the chance to relax in it. Mr. Dandridge not once made fun of Donna and me when were were out job hunting, fresh out of high school and we wanted to apply to work on the telephone poles for Bell. Do know that you have been in my thoughts.

Mrs. Dandridge and family,
I worked with Mr. Dandridge at Bell Canada and I was very sad to hear that he had passed away. He was like a father to me as my own father had died when I was quite young. I will always remember him saying:"If only I was smart instead of rich". I know that he will be greatly missed. Deepest sympathy
