Dear Barb and Gary:
Joe sent me your father's obituary. I was sad for both of you, and it sparked many memories of our young lives in LaSalle The best times of my life. Remember Barb, when we would come home from school, turn on American Band Stand, and dance ourselves silly. And the little plays we would put on in the garage, Gary taunting us all the while.
I don/t know what your dad might have thought about all that. But the weekend was golf even way back then. Tall, young and good looking. The world at their feet. When the move to Oakville came, it broke my heart. I have had lots of friends but none better than you. The Topolie family has stayed in my heart. The family I see has really grown since those days. Your father reaching 100 years old is a sign he loved life. And I am sure you have both been the best of children to him. God Bless all of you on this sad occasion of Steve;s passing. Remembered lovingly, Paula (Sherlock) and Gerry Bastien
