Sandi, your Dad will be missed. What a lovely, gentle man. Always my favourite caretaker and a great neighbour. I spent a few minutes with him Friday afternoon. Sending much peace to all of you.
Sandi – my condolences to you as I know you will miss your father greatly. I taught at King Edward and really appreciated your father’s help. He was a very pleasant man, helpful and kind. His discovery that he had sleep apnea led me to realize that my husband struggled with the same thing. The CPAP gave my husband many more years. Again, my condolences.
Sandi,
So sorry to hear of your dad’s passing. He was such a kind, gentle soul who was always willing to help out wherever he could. I remember some great conversations we had at King Edward. My thoughts are with you during this difficult time.
Sorry to hear of your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you. ELaine Winkler
Sandi and family…. I will remember your dad as a great coach. He was a gentle person and that’s what made us love him. He would always stop and chat with you, in his later years, he took the time. He will be sadly missed, but made his time here special to us all. Hugs to you.
Sandi and family-my heartfelt sympathy to you all upon the passing of your dear loved one. He was a remarkable man with his keen respect for and interest in others, his willingness to help anyone and to bring hope to any situation. He leaves the world a better place place.
