Two warm, kind and generous people. I’ve thought of them often over the years. We were almost neighbours. Our home was behind theirs, on Glenburnie Crescent. You were a bright young lad who brought your parents so much pleasure…especially when you played the Hammond XTP. My wife, Kathy, and I were the Hammond dealer for many years. An organ in the home was almost fashionable in those days. So, memories of many customers have faded over the years. But not so the thoughts of your parents. They say that you never die. You live on in the hearts and minds of others and you become much of whom they were. Our fundamental faith assures us that your folk are united once again in a better place. Kathy and I just want you to know that even though the years have made us remote from your parents, they touched our lives with a gentleness that we can only respond to with respect and affection. Kathy and Dick Warren
