Dear Leonard:
I (would like to express my sincere condolences on) was shocked with the recent passing of your father.
Pamela and the children also send their thoughts and prayers to you and your family at this difficult time.
Although I didn’t know your dad that well, on the half dozen or so occasions that I spent time in his company
over the years, I did come to realize his great kindness and compassion towards those less fortunate than him.
And I do know that he was very highly respected throughout this community and profession, and his good
works changed the lives of many.

You were truly fortunate to have such a man as a model in your life. As you know, it was not that long ago
that my own father passed away, so I have some idea of what you and your family are going through. I realize
that no words of comfort are quite enough to replace the loss.
Please pass my deepest sympathies on to your mother, and brother, and sister, and to all of your father’s
grandchildren.
Yours in sympathy,
Gord Henderson
