Dear Paul, Cathy, and Masse family,
We were very sorry to hear about that Paul’s dad had passed away. Although we didn’t know Archie well, I know that Dennis always spoke to him when he played golf with Paul. My mom remembers Archie from many years ago (1948 she says) when he worked for Loblaws in London. He has lived a long, full life with his wonderful family.

Jim & Lucia:
I was saddened to receive word of Archie’s passing from Wally and wish to send our condolences to you and the entire Masse family. Having experienced the loss of parents, I know how difficult it is to lose that source of wisdom and guidance. I do consider myself very fortunate however, to have had the opportunity to meet, visit with and, get to know Archie while attending Bayview on ‘scramble day’. He was truly a kind and genuine person, I will miss our visits.
With our deepest sympathy,
JL and Family
