Hi Christina, I wanted to send my thoughts and prayers to you and your brother. I remember your Dad from the Rec Center in Pomo. Always a cheerful man with a smile on his face. I’m very sorry to hear of his passing.

So many wonderful memories came to mind of both you and Carole when we heard of your passing, especially all the bottles of Port which were enjoyed at our home in Brussels when you two plus Carole’s sister Sharon and her husband Tom. A glass will be raised in your honour tonight. Our thoughts are with the family. Paul and Sandi
