Dear Neil, Wilma, Ruth and families: I spent some time with your Dad at the home a couple of years ago. He shared his photo album with me and we swapped Wilson / Sockett stories. He will always remain the handsome Harry Mather we proudly called our cousin. Carol had a big crush on him you know. There is a big hole in the fabric of your family now. Please know that he will be lovingly remembered by us. You are all in our thoughts. Much love, Julie Bell & Robert McCormick (Chilliwack BC)

Dear Neil,Wilma,and Ruth: I think I met your parents for the first time when Neil began High school and I was a very young and inexperienced teacher. I soon reali zed how much easier my job was when the young people I taught came from such great parents. As much as you are saddened by Harry's death I'm sure that you are aware as his children, how fortunate you were. Sincerely, Doug Leiper
