Dear Thomas, Jennifer and David, I'm so sorry to hear of your Dad's passing. Your Dad was a special man who made my day that much brighter. We would spend many times over coffee talking about our kids, work , and in general just sharing a few laughs. Your dad taught me to focus on the positive and never give up. He is someone I will always remember.
Dear David, Thomas and Jennifer, I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your father. It has been a most difficult time for you. I remember, while you were at Central, how brave you were then during what was also a very sad time. With heartfelt sympathy, Ms. Nowosad
Dear David, Jennifer, Thomas and family: We will always remember meeting you all at London Sales Arena (Trail's End). We watched you grow up over the years and how proud your father was of all of you. We want you to know that we will miss your father and grandfather Michael coning in and spending time talking to us on Saturday afternoons. He was a good and gentleman. Our deepest sympathy to you all. Our thought will always be with you. Lots of hugs Claudia Franceschino, Lesley Shepherd and families (The Cheesy Ladies)
Mike was always a pleasure to see at the clinic. Always smiling with a joke for me. He was a lovely man and I will miss him. Keeping you all in my prayers. Kes
