My sincerest sympathy and condolences to you all in the loss of Dave. Your parents and My parents were great friends and I always remember my parents saying that after all these years they were away from Strathmore they always kept in touch with your folks and remained such good friends. Being the youngest in our family the old story that I remember My Mother and Dad talking about was when I was born and Mom would be doing the laundry and all My diapers would be hanging out on the line and your Dad would continuously tease my parents about that. Well Mom was not much for mincing her words and always had an answer with her great sense of humour as well, she yelled across the fence to your Dad that he should not talk so loose, as it could very well happen to the "Stock Clan" of a new addition as well. Sure enough, it was not long after my arrival that Jef came along and Dave ate his words, and they all laughed about that. Our parents enjoyed some great times together, lots of parties, coffee visits, laughs and babysitting. Now it is such a loss for you and I they are all gone and our generation left behind. Hold onto your memories and talk of them often it keeps them near to your heart. Love to you all. Sincerely Doug Scott
