Our condolences to Grace, Julie, John, Peter and their families. Julie, I will always remember your dad as a man who lived life to the fullest with his love of family, his wonderful sense of humour, his supportive nature and his zest for life. Shakespeare wrote in King Lear, "Man must endure his going hence even as his coming hither; ripeness is all." meaning that we are all born and we all die--it is what we do with the part in between that is important: ripeness. Your father understood that and lived his life accordingly. The ripeness evident in his life was a gift to those who knew him and makes his loss most keenly felt by those who loved him. Our deepest sympathy to you all. Jess and Cathy
