Marian, we are sorry to learn of Lee’s passing. Many thanks
for your friendship with Ross & Jean.
We recall how Lee provided so much support to Dad and Mom, in his gift of service both in the Craft and the church (especially his driving Dad across the province). Our hearts mourn at Lee’s passing, and we extend heart-felt condolences to Marian and the entire family. We fondly remember the quiet but constant support of the friendly giant. Eternal rest be granted, and perpetual light shine upon you.

Sorry to hear of your loss. Lee always gave a friendly wave to me when he drove past my house.Sometimes he would stop and chat. Will miss him on the street.
Marian and family, please accept my deepest sympathies. Lee was a wonderful person and we will always remember his kindness.
We Elwood and Marjorie Douglas are indeed sorry to hear that Leroy has passed away. I know that he hasn’t been well but put up a good front. The last I spoke with Leroy was after christmas and he had taken Marion home with him. That was special to both of them and I am happy for them that it was possible.
I am sorry to lose another cousin as Leroy with the distance, to drive he and Marion always made the trip
up. He lived a full live and will be missed by many.
Elwood is not well and unable to make the trip and I have to be with him most of the time.
Our deepest sympathy to all of you.
Marjorie Douglas from Harriston.
