Condolences to the Family

Mr. Gifford was a longtime customer of mine. I was saddened to learn of his passing. I was always greeted with a smile upon arriving at his front door. It was a pleasure to talk to him, I enjoyed his wittiness and laugh,as our conversation’s would go from A to Z. He Brightened my day after every visit. I will miss him as a customer and a friend. My Deepest Sympathy to the family.

Allan will be missed. His smile each Sunday morning along with his pat answer of “terrible” when asked “how he was”. I got to know Allan while counting offering money with him. There will forever be a hole in the seats at the back of the sanctuary where Allan always sat. Welcome home to the Lord Allan.
