My heartfelt condolences on the passing of a wonderful man, your Dad. He was so kind, generous, caring and had the most wonderful sense of humour. My Mom and Dad always enjoyed working with your Dad. Knowing Art all my life I had to pleasure to get to know him better when he would come to visit Nettie at Countryside Manor and also he made our last few Christmases at Countryside so memorable and will never be forgotten. Art always had a smile on his face. He will be sadly missed by the many hearts he touched. I am sure the wonderful memories you have of your parents in your hearts will help you get through this most difficult time.
My hearts and prayers are with you all.
Sincerely
Heather Bice
