    I am sorry to hear of the passing of your dad. I know it’s never easy to lose a parent. Your dad was a brilliant man and I’m sure you will miss him.

    Saying a prayer for you.

  2. We were sorry to learn of Louis’ death. We knew him through our church activities and he taught Dean about beekeeping. He was a fine man, good to be around, good to have as a friend. Our sympathy to the family in their loss.
