It’s really hard to say goodbye for good, my friend!!!

Every time I whistle along with the 60s,70s, and 80s music at work, I’ll be thinking of you but also dearly miss your part too!!!

Your cheerful support on really tough days, seeing the positive in the negative, not being afraid to stand up for us, and often brightening our days, will remain a part of the story at our workplace that could never be erased, by anyone.

I wish you and your family had a lot more of the camping trips you were thinking of, and I am crushed that we are losing you so so very early, but I will think of you, somewhere out there among the stars, whistling away!!!

From: Michele Parker
Relation: His wife, Cheryl, is a colleague.

I am so sorry for your loss Cheryl. My condolences to you and your family.
