Dear Laurie, George and family
sooooo very sorry to hear of the sudden passing of your dear father. Although I never met your Dad I feel almost like I have because of the wonderful stories you have shared with me over the years about him. May those stories eventually become comforting memories for all of you. He must have been a very special person to raise a great daughter like you!!! My sincere sympathy to all of you.
Love Kathy Russwurm

So sorry to hear about your Dad. You always spoke so highly of him and he seemed like a man who lived life to the fullest; which probably explains where you get your great attitude from. We are thinking of you guys. xo Jen, Mark, and Maks

Condolence from Linda and Ken Dewar on June 15th, 2012 6:49 pm

Our condolences on the passing of your dad. He always had a cheery smile and a funny story to tell and had a knack of keeping your attention until he got to the punch line or ending.
May all those thoughts and memories of a life well lived, be a comfort Regards to your families. Ken and Linda

Laurie & Jim
I have many fond memories of your father. We, as children were always seated together, with Madeline, at the Christmas feasts in Listowel. We laughed our way through the day, always. He was very kind to my parents, W.S Gibson in Stratford. Please accept my sympathy at this time, Glenys

Condolence from Lois Reoch (nee Johnston) on June 18th, 2012 10:01 pm

Laurie & family and Jim & family: Was pleased I was able to attend the service at the cemetery today. It is always difficulty saying “goodbye”. You will continue to be in my thoughts. My family had a close connection for many, many years with your Mother. She was a very special lady. Respectfully, Lois Reoch (nee Johnston)

Condolence from Bob and Mrie hewitson on June 19th, 2012 11:52 am

Laurie and Jim I am so sorry to hear of your dad’s passing.
I am sure that he will be missed terribly by all your families.
I am so sorry we did not attend any of the services for Wayne as we did not find out in time.
We have many fond memories of Wayne as he was a fine man with a real sense of humor
You are all in our thoughts and prayers

Bob and Marie Hewitson
