    David and Justin,
    I was saddened to hear about the loss of your dad. He was really a nice guy and a great asset to USB.

    David and Justin,
    So sorry to hear of the passing of your father. He and Paul worked side by side for many years. May you take comfort knowing he is now with his beloved wife and brother, as well as his parents. If there is anything we can do for either of you, please let us know.

    I was very saddened to hear about John’s death. He and Cathy were very kind and welcoming to me when I moved to the States in 1985 and they gave me a bed for the night as I made my way to Arizona. That was the only time I met them and I was touched by their genuine love and kindness. I am so sorry I never saw them again.
