We would like to pass on our condolences to your whole family, especially John, Dorothy and Jeanettte. We lived across the road from your Dad for 11 years and even though we didn’t see him very often, we enjoyed chats with him at the mailbox and our yearly halloween visits when he spoiled the kids with large tubs of candy-Melanie, Nathan and Leah loved that.
