Remembering many happy times living next door to the Smeltzers. We especially remember the kindnesses shown to Bernice's mom and dad the summer of 1973. Good neighbours for sure! Our sincerest sympathy to all.

I always loved that when you phoned Grandpa, the first thing he said was "well you're looking good"....he got a kick out of himself. Another funny thing was when he took us to the farmers market, and to an animal auction, and instead of me embracing it like he expected, I started bawling and ran out, and that's when he realized he had an animal activist for a grand daughter. But he took it all in stride. I always loved Grandpas little jokes that he would giggle after like he was so funny. Lastly, one of my favorite things to do, was when I sent letters to Grandma and Grandpa the last 4 or 5 years, I always put a toonie in there, so I could treat my Grandpa to a Timmy's coffee. I loved you Grandpa, and I will miss you. xo

I have many fond memories with Grandpa. I always enjoyed looking at his baby picture that he carried in his wallet, drives to St Jacobs and the time he had us walk from his old farm to Carmel school so I could see how far my dad had to go every day... In the snow... Up hill both ways. I was also very happy that he was able to build a relationship with my own children even though we live out West. It was always exciting to know that a visitor would soon be arriving from the East. Hannah and Gracie entertained him with many dances and musical instrument performances and he graciously gave them all of his attention and encouragement... And sometimes some silver coins for their efforts. Most off all, I will always remember a very important piece of advice that he has given to me since I was a child. "Don't take any wooden nickels". We will miss you Grandpa!

My condolences to you Sue, Alysha, Roxy as well as the rest of your family. Your dad always had a wave and a smile that I looked for as I walked into Tim's in the morning and loved the chats we had about our "friends on the street"! May the memories you shared with him help wipe away a tear and bring a smile to your hearts.
