    I was shocked and saddened to hear of your father's passing. He was a warm and gracious person who will be missed not just by his family but by all who knew him. Please extend my condolences to your entire family. With my deepest sympathy, Dick

    I am so sad to hear about your father. He was a good friend of mine for over 20 years. We played golf together when I lived in Ottawa for a number of years. Later, when I moved to Toronto, he came to visit me a number of times. I went to visit him twice in China and spent some precious time talking about his business and his health. He was a very energetic person with prospective and determination. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family in this time of sorrow! Please send my regards to Jean, May, Otto & Michael. Love, Eric
