    I love you Dad. I have many wonderful memories of you and I.. Going fishing, in Goderich. You running behind my bike, as I learned to ride. You calling me your Laura Lee. Your laugh it was contagious. We grew apart when I got older. I regret that, as you always held a special part in my heart. We did talk weekly on the phone. I’ll cherish my last card from you. For my 50th, birthday… RIP dad.. Xx love Laura

    So sad to hear of Uncle John’s passing. I have fond memories of him when I was in my early teens. Episodes of fun and laughter which most time included Aunt Pat and Uncle Ken.

    Rest in Peace John.
