Tony and families We are very sorry for your loss of such a wonderful man. He helped me many times with the children when they were small. He is also Steven's Godfather. The positive attitude and big smile was always a ray of sunshine to all around him. May God give you added strength and walk with you through the changes of life ahead. We send our love to all; God Bless Mary and Gordon Kerschmann
