    Hey Scott, Frazer, Trevor and Dean…..
    Gosh I was very sorry to hear about your Dad. I guess it was inevitable but nonetheless a great loss. Hughie was just the greatest guy. I feel bad that I haven’t seen him in a couple of years but in some ways it is great just to remember him the last time I saw him cracking jokes and laughing on the terrace of the home he was staying at. That’s the memory I have of him……a compassionate man with a wicked sense of humour .
    Please accept Sheldon and my sincere condolences. I will see you all on Wed. at the funeral. Take care of yourselves and once again my sympathies.
    Gord

    Scott, Fraser, Dean and Trevor and families. I am so sorry for the lost of your father my Uncle Hugh. Hugh had such a great sense of humor and the biggest heart . He always brought such joy when he walked into a room. His kindness and love was given sincerely to everyone. He was very proud of all his boys and his grandchildren. Auntie Bernice was the love of his life and together they had such a wonderful life. I loved him dearly and will miss his funny little sayings and always his warm hugs and big smile. I will always remember him for the love and support he gave me He was a wonderful man. Love to you all Donna
