Tommy, Linda, Pauline and Ted;

I have always had such a soft spot for your Dad. Probably because Uncle "Bubs" reminded me so much of my dad - a quick wit, generous to a fault and the consumate entertainer! The last time my son Cole and I visited, even with his oxygen tank under his arm, your Dad was whisking us on a hair raising drive up the mountain for Chinese! The world will be a quieter place without those Dakin boys - but think what fun they are having together again.

love to you all - wish we could be there with you.

Warren lived with my Grandmother and Grandfather Fairley a long time ago in Regina. I always admired Warren, and I know he had a soft spot fom my family. I saw Warren a few months ago, and he was struggling for breath, but always had a smile on his kind face. My condolences to his family and loved ones. John Fairley
