Hi Steve and Susan. I was saddened to hear about your dad, Steve. I wish I could be there like when you were, when my dad past away. I have never forgotten your presence at my father's funeral and your kind gestures. You've been so blessed with your father's experince having seen you become a husband, an educator, a doctor, and a grea...t father. Your father had the joy of being a grandfather with your boys. I could only wish my father could at least see my boyz from where he is. Our fathers will always be within us. I see my father in me now more than ever as I am loving every moment with my two sons and trying to instill the values I've learned from him. You have shown me over the years what it means to be a dedicated husband and father and this must have its roots from your dad. I wish you and your family all the strength during this difficult time.
Love Bill, Machi, John, Alexander in Tokyo, Japan

I remember Michael from our time together as group members at Bereaved Families of Ontario - Metro Toronto. He was a lovely man who, at the time, was deeply grieving the loss of his daughter, Susan. Who can forget the time when, as group members, we were asked to bring in photos of our children? Most of us brought just the one - but Michael brought in two huge bags of albums featuring Susan! Along with other fellow group members, I was honoured to be invited to Michael and Norma's 50th wedding anniversary celebration. The loss that brought us together had created a sense of "family" amongst us. We will always remember "Big Michael" and he will remain a part of our memory circle forever.

Dear Norma, Judy, Steven and family,
Frank and I would like to wish you comfort in the loss of your husband and Dad. I remember the times when we were growing up and your family came up to the cottage and Laskey, we had such good times. Your Dad was always in good spirits whenever we saw him. He was a wonderful, kind man.
