I just wanted to send my condolences to the entire LeClair family. We are thinking about you here at work.
I had the pleasure of meeting Art for the first time during the summer of 1987 when I was transferred to 725 Colborne Street where Art worked as a data technician. I learned a lot from Arthur right up to the time he retired from Bell Canada!
We just wanted to send you our condolences and let you know we are thinking about you at this time. Rob & Sue Bieman
