thank you Linda for letting us know of Ivan's passing - he was a great friend and we are so glad we did visit him last fall for an update on all of you and how well he was doing.  He played for us in his room and was so happy, wonderful life because he looked for the good in it. 
 We were visiting in Southern Ontario last week so did not get your message until last night - would have loved to come to the Oshawa Funeral Home to see all of you and get hugs, but it did not happen.  
We always enjoyed Marion and Ivan  coming to visit in their motor home and certainly had good conversations and laughs, it was a pleasure knowing them.

All of you take care of each other and relive the good memories. Alice and Chuck Clark, Cobden, Ont.

To Rowe and family,
Our deepest condolences go out to you all at this time.  How fortunate to have had him in your lives for so many years.   Many stories and happy memories to hold on to for the years to come.  Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

To Linda and her family, I'm so sorry to hear about the loss of your father.  Find strength in the love of family and friends.

I was so sorry to hear about your dad's passing.  Marilyn sent me an e-mail.  I won't be able to attend the funeral as Gord is still having health problems.  You are in my thoughts and prayers and I will always remember your dad and his winning smile and enthusiasm.
Love,
