The family would like to extend our sincerest appreciation to the staff of Parkstone Enhanced Care, Halifax for the care and compassion given to our dad over the several years he was a resident there and especially in the final few weeks of his life.
Cremation has taken place. There will be no visitation and private internment will take place at Saint John’s Columbarium, Halifax.
