Anne and Andy,
So very sorry to hear of Jim. He was a good friend and neighbor. I'll always smile when I think of the day I called Jim and Liz over to watch the bluejays attack your cat. The four of us got a good laugh out of that and it's the fun things with him that I will remember.

Anne and Andy, I'm so sorry to read of your Dad's death. I remember him through hockey and seeing him at Farnsworth. He was always such a nice man. I have fond memories of playing hockey on the old Pearl St rink and seems like he was there often! My sympathies.
