To Karen, Ron, Nancy & Lourene,
Deep sympathy to everyone for the loss of your Dad.
I am very glad my Aunt & Uncle (the Coady's) lived next door to your family, otherwise Karen and I probably wouldn't have had as much fun growing up in our early years as we did!
After I got married, one of the appliances we bought at your Dad's store was a refrigerator. Well, we picked one out that after a week's use was too small, and there wasn't any problem with exchanging it for a bigger one. Try doing that today!
Will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.

Dear Ronny and Nancy, and Nancy,
So sorry to hear about your Dad's passing. I remember talking to him for hours when Mark & I went to buy our washer and dryer, what a great guy. It's alway so hard to have the ones we love leave us, but I truly believe that he is in a better place.

My condolences to all Bob's family. My husband and I went to the store often and missed it when they closed, but I still depend on Glen. I will keep Bob and Roland in my prayers.

To all the Constant Family
My thoughts and prayers are with you at this sad time.I fondly remember the 'old days' of going into the store and being greeted by your father. Those were the "good old days" when shopping for appliances was a pleasure because of friendly and honest people like your Dad.

My condolences to the family. Constant Brothers was where my parents always shopped for appliances. I have many fond memories of shopping there with them.
