Our family has always had a lot of respect for the Greyeyes family, my father drove with Johnny to work at the Rolling Mills for many years. I haven't seen Florence for years but know that she was cherished. I'm away but my mom will be at the service. - Posted by: Wade Wawryk (Family friend) on: Jun 20, 2015
