We’ll miss seeing dad, sitting in his yellow chair, on the front porch. A huge Thank you is extended to the 6th floor staff at University Hospital, Dad’s home for the last 10 weeks. He enjoyed chatting with all of you. Cremation has taken place with a private family service, where Evans Funeral Home, (519) 451-9350, entrusted with arrangements.
