Death notice for the town of: Picton, Province: Ontario
I am so sorry for your loss. RJ has been a wonderful friend to myself and my family. For over a year, he has spent every Friday afternoon in our home, teaching piano and ukulele to my three eldest children, and then having a coffee and chat with me. He encouraged me in my knitting, and we enjoyed ending the week with our friendly visits. I know he wasn’t feeling well last week, but I am utterly shocked at this sad news. My deepest condolences to the family. I pray that you take comfort in knowing that He had trust in His Saviour, and we can have the assurance of meeting him again.
