Dear Linda, Paul, David, Bill, Gary & Families,
We're thinking of all of you at this time with the passing of Uncle John. We have many fond memories of the time spent with your family in Toronto over the years and at many different occasions.

We always found Uncle John to be happy to see us and spend time with us whenever we were able to come to Toronto. Unfortunately we can not be there tomorrow but our thoughts are with you all. We look forward to the next opportunity when we can get together.

Please know our thoughts are with you at this time, as always!
With all our love,
