Dear Rosemary and Ben,
It’s been a long time but great memory of working on the farm for Steve/ your Dad. He had his motives and great intentions… Man of few words but meant a lot. With red Rose’s delivered to my Grade 7 teacher… lol to many golf cart rides on side roads… Great memories. So sorry to hear this news but his charm will never be forgotten… Keegan
