Carol:
It was very sad to learn of Paul's death.
It seemed that during our childhood, Paul was part of the family. My brothers Bob & Jim and I spent so much time together at the "shop", where our fathers worked side by side, we felt a kinship with him. We shared fun time at Marlie & Betty's cottage on Lake Ontario. We celebrated childhood birthdays together. (We are only 3 months apart in age). That kinship carried on into our later lives. I remember fondly your wedding 59 years ago (as I'm sure you remember, I was an usher). I also enjoyed a genuine fondness for Paul's parents......wonderful friends.
My one regret is that the geographical distance between us in our adult lives has made it difficult to visit.
Dorothy and I offer you our heart-felt sympathy.
