Dick and I are just returning from warmer climes and tend to keep in touch with Kelowna through the internet. We are so sorry to hear about Art. During my time as Sunday Super in Westbank, he was always so supportive and I cherished his sunny disposition, especially his wonderful smile.

My condolences to the family. My mother (Jessie Wood) knew Art when he was the minister at Summerland United Church, and I remember Art from the Ham radio club in Kelowna also. It was an honour to know him.

Joanne,

Sorry to hear about your Dad. I visited at Brookhaven and would see him with his lovely smile and open friendly face. I'd always say hello.

I didn't know your Dad's name so was surprised to see he was your Dad. Thinking of you all. God Bless.
