"The family of the late Robert Davis wishes to express their sincere thanks and appreciation to relatives, friends and neighbours for their support and many acts of kindness during our recent loss of our beloved husband, father and grandfather.  The floral tributes, donations and expressions of sympathy will never be forgotten.  Your support, love and kindness during our time of need was truly overwhelming.  We would like to express our gratitude to the ambulance staff, Emergency and I.C.U. staff and the doctors of T.O.M.H. for their excellent care and concerns.  Also special thanks to Ostranders Funeral Home for their professionalism and assistance.  Thank you to Legion Branch 153 for their memorial service and to the ladies of the Auxiliary for their lovely lunch.  Thanks to Grant McDonald and Mrs. Claingbold in their assistance in the service. And finally we would especially like to express our gratitude and appreciation to Rev. Gene Templemeyer for his lovely service, his kind words, and his encouragement and support to our family. God Bless you all. [signed] The Davis family.
