Sorry to hear about the loss of your father. May God give you strength and courage to bear this pain. John and I send our love to you Rob , Carol , Marcus and Jamie. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
My dad could never mention Uncle Syd without a smile on his face. Syd was larger then life, kind, vibrant, fun. He was a joy to know and I am honoured that he was part of my family. I hope you and my dad are sitting having a drink together! Love you lots. God speed.

Living a good life for into 97 years. Most impressive. I can still recall the wise words of instruction and encouragement from Mr. Grant in our grade 11 physics class at Beal Tech in 1973. God Bless.
