Apparently our previous comment did not take. Evelyn and I have such fond memories of your visits to our home in Chalfont with Alex when Jennifer was born and Michael and Tina were visiting as babies. Our deepest sympathies to Peachy and family. Frank and Evelyn Ross

I didn't know him for all that long, but in that time my wife and I agree that he was a wonderful man. He bore up under his illness with grace, uncomplaining and even-tempered. He will be missed.
