Sending you our love as we remember your Dad at this time of reflection and shared stories from days gone by. Your Dad was one of the kindest men I knew who always had a twinkle in his eye. He loved telling stories and made us feel at home. I will always be his Rosie the Riveter and he will always be our Jim. Thinking of you.

Myrt:
Frequently people do not say what they really think. As I sit here reminiscing with tears in my eyes, I felt it an appropriate time to express myself. The great memories, I have of you and Jim will never be forgotten. The camping weekends at Happy Hills, the many Saturday nights we danced the night and early morning away at Thorndale and Sheddon, the many nights we spent together watching go karts, TQ midgets and supers racing and above all the many Christmas Eves and early Christmas mornings you opened your home to family and friends.
Your caring attitude to us, even looking after Melanie when she was only a couple of months old so we could make a trip to Connecticut are included in the many memories you and Jim have given to us and we are indebted to you. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this time.
Love Marg and Bill
