Peter and Bob, thinking of you with the recent passing of your Mom. I enjoyed catching up with you Peter when I saw you at work. Your Mom was such a lovely lady. The picture of her here is beautiful. I adored both your Mom and your Dad, such wonderful, caring people. King has lost another pillar of the community. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your families. The Hayles family.

Bob Roots says
I did not see this until today.
I’m Bob and I used to work for Langdons after I worked for Murray at Hawman Drum.
My Dad owned Stan Roots Fuels and I have lived in Stroud now for 16 years.
What a coincidence.
Thanks

Remembering the Roots family today with Muriel’s passing. I remember how, when growing up, we admired everyone in it, their happiness, their giving natures. Stan was my idol. Thinking of all of you.

Dear Peter and Bob,
I am so sorry to hear of the passing of your mom. She was a very dear lady to me, and especially to my mom, Minnie. I was happy to be able to visit your mom, many times, when she lived in Tecumseth Pines. We would talk of days gone by and I would admire all of her wonderful treasures that she shared with me.
