Hello there,
unfortunately I do not have any good news. Its with a very heavy heart that
I tell you that my Papa passed away in his sleep Friday afternoon, March 24.
My Mother and I were at his side.
He will be at the funeral home on Tuesday for viewing. Wednesday is the
funeral. Therefore I am asking that you tell everyone for me and my family.
He will be extremely missed by many.
If anyone would like to send flowers I have the address below. It is;
Dodsworth & Brown Funeral Home
15 West Avenue North
Hamilton, Ontario
(905)522-2496
everyone welcomed
There will be a slide show and buffet afterwards in his honour.
sincerely, Connie Merz, (youngest daughter)
