Death notice for the town of: Simcoe, Province: Ontario
My deepest sympathy to Jayne, Ron and all of the families at this time. I met Donna and Fred years ago at the restaurant/store. I was a secretary at Windham Central Public School and went there daily. I was treated like one of their family by all of the Bennett family and Shayne. I am unable to attend the funeral but you are all in my heart. ❤️❤️
My deepest condolences to Dave Bennett and Conni Banfield and to your families. I know Fred’s son Dave well, and if the child is a measure of the parent, then Fred must have been a wonderful, kind and compassionate individual. While I understand how much you are grieving, you can find solace in your memories and in knowing that Fred is at peace now. Hugs to all of you.
My condolences to you all. He will always have a special place in my heart.
Sending sincere condolences to Dave and Conni, on the passing of your Father.
Thinking of you and family during this difficult time.
