I have been trying, unsuccessfully, to track down your father for the last few years.
I was saddened today to learn of his passing while doing another search around Seaforth.
A lady who was a former next door neighbour gave me the news.
Your dad used to call on us while he was in the furniture business. I always enjoyed his visits. I remember his sense of humour, and gentlemanly approach to life and business.
If I had known last January, I would have attended his funeral.
My sincere condolences.

To the family of Lewis and Mildred,
To all of you we would like to extend our condolences.
It was a pleasure knowing your mom and dad while they lived beside us. With your mom we shared a love of flowers and gardening, and your dad’s sense of humour
was always appreciated. We are thinking of you during this difficult time.
Sincerely,
Ray and Anne Harrison

Condolence From: Alex and Blondie MacLeod
Alex and I send our deepest sympathy to all of you. We will keep you in our thoughts and our prayers.
It is so hard to believe that your Dad is gone and that this is the end of an era we will never see again. Uncle Lewis was always special to me and I will miss him – but he will alway remain in my memories. We are so sorry that we will be unable to be there for the service as we are away for the winter – but we will be thinking of you all as you say goodbye to such a wonderful man. He is now at peace with Aunt Mildred.
May god Bless you all.
Alex and Blondie
