The measure of a man, in my view is the love for him that is passed on from one generation to the next. Mr. Begg was such a man and I am proud to have had the pleasure to know him.

Dear Mrs. Begg, Bill and family,
We were so sorry to hear of Mr. Begg's death. My family, especially Jeff, have many fond memories of being at the lake with "Grandma and Grandpa Begg". We always think of our many good times together. Mrs. Begg, you were so fortunate to have Mr. Begg in your life for such a long time as were your children having their dad so long. Our sympathy to you, Bill and the whole Begg family.
Charmaine, Laurie, Holly and Jeff
