Archie Campbell Hi Clayton,
Please accept my condolences for the loss of your Father, Dick.
I have fond memories of him building your Grandparent’s home on Glanford Ave next door to my Parents. He was always ready and willing to lend a helping hand to Dad and l whenever we needed it.
A great guy.
Archie Campbell.
To Dick’s family
Dick was a neighbour of mine on Leslie Cr. It always made my day getting a wave from him, either driving or walking by. I got to visit with him 2 days before he left the hospital and we had a great visit. I’m glad I got to see him that day. My heartfelt condolences, may he rest in peace. He will be fondly remembered.
