My thoughts and prayers are with my Aunt Dorothy, Cousins Donald and Dan and their families as well.
Some of my fondest childhood memories were those spent with Dan and Don and Uncle Fred and Aunt Naureen. He was a great man and a great believer.
Sleep with the Angels Uncle Fred.
Your Niece,
Janet K. Austin (McClelland)
