Jerry and Louise and family, so sorry to hear of your Dad’s passing. I feel fortunate to have seen and talk to him at your Mom’s service. Your Dad was a character I enjoyed very much!
Jerry and family:
Our thoughts are with you during these difficult days. We appreciated your dads good humor and good nature.
Time will be the healer.
Our thoughts are with you at this time, Al & Judy Reimer
I was very sad to hear about Howard’s passing. I had the pleasure of meeting him as an employee of Brandt’s Creek Mews. When Howard found out I was from Winfield he had many stories to share with me. Howard’s sense of humour made me laugh daily, and he will be greatly missed!
Jerry and family, very sorry to hear about your Dad passing away, we remember him back in the “old days” at the store when Mom and I would walk down there. Later in life when I used to take my “blues” to him to get dry cleaned we always had fun “talking shop”, he will be missed….Sheldon and Helen Sherman
Dear Jerry and family. So sorry about your dad’s passing. We talked to him recently at your mom’s service and he laughed when I reminded him of all the little “pranks” he used to play, like stapling the bottom of our slacks shut after dry cleaning! Loved his sense of humour. 🙂
