    My deepest Sympathies to all of you. He was a good guy always smiling happy to see you. Been two or so years since seen him just as he was moving to Regina. I’ve missed our run ins that could last one moment to 15 minutes. Was a pleasure to have known him

    Your Dad was a friendly , hard working soul who lived a full life; I’m sure he was so proud of all the accomplishments of his kids, grandkids, and great grand babies. He was a good friend to Norbert at the Manor and will be truly missed. He’s at peace now with your mom. Sincere condolences, Denise,& Mark Dombowsky
