Sorry to hear about Art. I have many fond memories of our years on Old Port Mouton Road which included spending a lot of time with you girls at your house. Brother Gary and Butch spent a lot of time together as well. May all your memories keep you going through the days ahead.
Pamela Foley
Amy, I’m so sorry for the loss of your Dad. I always enjoyed seeing both him and your Mom come in to the store. They were kind, and quiet. What stands out the most was selling your Dad food he could give to the squirrels he had relocated to Pine Grove Park. He felt they still needed to eat, even though they needed to leave his property. I still laugh about it. It is a cute memory. Take care of yourself, it’s a rough road ahead, I’m sure you will all miss him greatly.
