So sorry for your loss Penny.
I don’t know what to say. I thought we would live forever. Although it’s been over 30 years I still think of Dave & Cindy.
I am sorry Cindy I just heard almost a year late. My sincere condolences to you and all the family. Marty was a great person and always had a great time. I will speak on behalf of the employees at Air Products Sarnia for those who had the opportunity to have him as a supervisor. We will miss him.
