Thank you dad for being my father and friend for the past 56 years. I have fond memories of our house on Connaught Ave., all the wonderful restaurants you took us to in Montreal over the years, the many parties you allowed me to have with my high school friends:), many great tennis games and walks on Mt. Royal.

More recently I remember all the precious times you spent with us (Neil , Julie and Melanie) in Ottawa, celebrating all the special occasions, trips to the cottage and the beach, and the list goes on! Your involvement in all of our lives has had a signficant impact and we will never forget you. Love, Sharon & family xoxox
