I never had the opportunity
I never had the opportunity to met your father. However, based on the memories his daughter, Tessa, has shared I feel he would have been a great man to have known. I know your hearts are full of grief, but hope your soul rejoices with every memory you have of him.

Alex, Annabel, Tessa and Gregory,
I was heartbroken when I heard of the loss of your father.
He was such an awesome man who shared with me many stories of his life - always teaching me some lesson. I loved working with him...I can still hear him say my name. It alway sounded so beautiful when he said it in French.
All of you have been blessed with wonderful parents. He is now with Chriss, his love, watching over you.
My prayers are with you during this time. He will be missed.
