Dear Irene,

Gina and I extend our sincerest condolences to you and your family on the loss of a wonderful husband and father. Bill left a lasting impression on those who were fortunate enough to know him.

It was with great pleasure that we reconnected with the two of you at the Miles Mac 50th Anniversary Reunion in 2002 and in Quebec the following summer.

May the love that the two of you shared, the memories you own, and the knowledge that you are in the thoughts and prayers of so many others, comfort and sustain you during this difficult period of time.

So sorry to have heard of Bill’s passing. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Sincerely,

Fred and Gerry Trapp
