Dear Penny, Patti and your family. My deepest condolences to you. Your dad was a neighbour to my mom and dad, so I had opportunities to chat with him. I also had chats with him at Church functions. Your dad was a very nice man. My thoughts are with you as you grieve his loss.

Dear Penny, Trevor, Patty & Families,
I am very sorry for your great loss of your dear father and grandfather, Andy. We were neighbors on the farm for many years and most recently we resided at the lodge and had daily lunch visits. Andy was very proud of all his family and shared many positive life events with us; I will miss these conversations. Andy was always in good humour and loved to visit, he will be missed by everyone who knew him. Sending heartfelt condolences and warm hugs to all the family.
Sincerely, Olga Kokotilo
