Rolly, godspeed. I am very saddened to hear of your passing but I'm glad you are no longer suffering. When we saw you a few weeks ago you were a shell of your true self. We have known you for many years, you watched my children grow up. You were always kind and you always took the time to come talk to us. Thank you for your care and respectful treatment of my mother (Pat). I have many fond memories of you being you. The times you took the time to listen to me, thank you my friend. You will be missed. The world has lost a great man and a wonderful friend. Peace. I am sorry I only heard too late to attend the funeral. We will light a candle in remembrance of you.XOXOXO. Lisa and family. - Posted by: Lisa (friend) on: Oct 29, 2012

To my dear friend Randi, words cannot express how much you and your Dad mean to me. I am so very sorry for your loss. I loved joking with your Dad every Thursday, and cannot believe he was taken so soon. I will miss his kindness, his humour and his smile. Love you always. - Posted by: Carlene Rummery (friend) on: Oct 17, 2012
