I'm sorry to hear about your dad's passing. Your father was a great boss and good friend. It was a great honour to have worked with him and to know him and your mother. I still remember when he was walking on Charing Cross in front of my house in 1977 and I came out of the house to tell him that the neighbourhood would never be the same. He will be greatly missed. My thoughts and prayers are with you all, Diane and Randy and everyone. - Posted by: Jacques Johnson (Co-Worker) on: Jul 18, 2008
