Sorry About the Death of your Grandpa/Dad. I can understand how sorrowfull it must be to lose a loved one. I also have something else to remember….This is my 2nd Christmas without my Aunt. I will put a tribute (permenently) on my website.
Clifford, I was sorry to read of your Dad’s passing. Although I never met your Dad I’m certain he was a good man and must have passed those characteristics on to the Depew men that I have had the opportunity to know, you and Henry and George. We will be thinking of you and your family.
I’ve worked with other attorneys in the firm for the past 20 years, mostly Jack McInteer. I got to know Spencer that way. He had a great sense of humor that I always appreciated. I’ve missed seeing him over the past months. My thoughts and prayers are with you. God bless.
Dear Donna, Sally, Clifford and your families; I was saddened to hear of your loss. Sally, I always think of your father as a kind, generous and funny man. To all of you, we are thinking of you in this season and in this difficult time. Gretchen and Darwin Regehr
Donna, as you know I was a classmate of Spencer’s. He was one of my favorites. I was alerted to his passing by Max Maguire who was an Honor Man with Spence. He wrote me that he was his favorite. In his quiet way Spence endeared himself to those of us fortunate enough to know him. You have my deepest sympathy for your loss.
Dear Donna, Clifford and Sally, I was so sadden to hear of Spencer’s passing. As a former neighbor he will be remembed with great respect as a Lawyer, Neighbor, Husband and Father. May he rest in peace with his wonderful Mother, Frances in heaven. I didn’t know his Father, Claude but my late husband, Johnie Frank spoke so highly of Claude. My sincery sympathy goes out to you Donna and your family. God Bless
