Our deepest sympathies for your loss. We remember your kind hospitality. Long, long ago, when our son Mark was injured while visiting Ottawa, and John kindly checked him out, and then invited my wife Jean along with Mark to stay overnight at your home to ensure he was OK. Our condolences to your family. Bud & Jean Shimmell, Hamilton (son of Sarah Hemming Shimmell)
