Ken, John, and families,
So sorry to hear of your father’s passing. Although I did not know him, I attended elementary school in London at Sir John A Macdonald when your family lived on McNay st. in london. Spent some after-school hours with Ken back in the day, lol, while going out with his bet friend Mike K…….John was in my younger sister and brother’s grade level….but also had more recent time with John, first at the canning factory in Exeter, and then when he was living back to back with my older brother, who he became friends with while out for walks, or when he would clear the snow from his laneway until my sister-in-law passed away as my brother didn’t drive…..would have liked to attend last friday, but i had company from out of town. So, I am sending good thoughts and hugs to your family. Don’t forget to do some extra checking on your mom in the days to come. Ken, some time you are up here to visit your mom, stop in and say hi…you have to go right past my place on the edge of Exeter.
take care,
Debbie (Clipperton) Alexander

Dear Clare and family, I am sending sincere condolences
from the Sandercott family in St. Catharines.
I remember the last Gossman reunion Derek and I attended. Leonard knew me right off as Harold’s daughter.
RIP Leonard.
