Dear Ann and family.
Many years ago we were with aunt Audrey and uncle Hughy in Brampton during our vacations. Then Buck visited us regularly as a neighbor. Often at the end of the day after work with a glass of vodka (?).
We really enjoyed Buck’s company then. We had a lot of fun.
After you left Brampton we visited you when we were on vacation with Kelly and Dean in 2003 (that day you had a big power blackout).
We have very good memories of Buck. Almost 90 years old is a great age, but you never want to miss someone of course.
We wish you much strength to handle this loss.
With great love from Yerseke (Holland).
