Timi and family, sending my sympathy to everyone in your family. I always remember your dad driving our bus to field hockey games and singing songs like "Frankie and Johnny". He made every day a joy. May he rest in peace.

Yet another of God's Saints now rests from his earthly labor. Peace to you, Gardiner, after your long struggle, and peace to your family as they grieve the loss of their beloved Patriarch. I wish we had had the chance to get to know better that Yankee personality of yours.......

Foot and family, my sincerest sympathy to you and yours. Your father was a true gentleman and of kindest spirit. Sorry I can't be there but since suffering an ischemic stroke 2 years ago I no longer have a license to drive. I will always remember his kind spirit and summer visits to the blacksmith shop. It was always a treat to be graced in his presence.
