There are so many memories. So many fond and wonderful moments, I could spend a lifetime telling them. I guess the one single thing that I hold closest to my heart is the the incredible dedication Mum and Dad had to each other. I have, all my life admired and respected the example they set for me and all of us of what true love and commitment really means. How do you say thank you to your Dad? Jack’s giant, loving and caring heart, guided us with patience and parenting advice, defined the adults we are today. So it’s to that example, that effortless spirit of generosity, that I say “Thank you, Dad.” “He didn't tell me how to live; he lived, and let me watch him do it.” (Clarence Budington Kelland) In my heart forever, your son Bruce.
