About 48 years ago we lived on your yard in a trailer. My parents spoke fondly of your family and had great memories. Even though it was a short time that we spent together, it made lasting memories. When we heard of the passing of your father, and earlier your mother, we wanted to send our love and condolences to your family. - Posted by: Wayne and mother - Marge Warkentin (old friends of the family) on: Mar 21, 2012

Sorry we can't be there. Our heart goes out to all of you. I will never forget my favorite Uncle and his laugh. He has created many memories for all of us. I remember Uncle Donnie's old blue truck and the old tractor on the farm and Stella (the one who swallowed the soother) and the trampoline. Having a bath outside in the old galvanized tub. Oh the good ol' days!!! Take care everyone. - Posted by: Gary & Cheryl Moody ((Niece)) on: Feb 15, 2012
