Sherry and the Fisher family,

I wanted to express my deepest sympathies over the loss of your Dad and husband.  

He seemed a very brave man and one who cared more for others more than himself.  His loss will be felt by many.


I hope your memories will provide comfort in the coming days.

Regards,

Dennis

Chris and Rob,  Sorry, I just learned of your loss and was unable to participate in the memorial service today.  Our thoughts and prayers are with you.  I never had the opportunity to Richard, but I can tell from what I have read that he was/is my kind of guy.

Allan
