Martha and Family,
My now deceased husband and I always dreamed of building our retirement home on our property we owned on Buck Rd as we would be neighbors with you and Hubert. We had met your sons and they were so polite and nice as well. That dream never happened but I still think of it to this day. I am so happy that I had stopped by to visit Hubert last fall after seeing him outside as it had been many years. He was so interesting and talked of the farm, his horse racing experiences and his great family. My thoughts and prayers are with you as he was a very special person. Sincerely , Bonnie
Sep 25.11 from Marlies Kaehli:
Your relatives and friends from the Grand Valley, Ontario area are sending their condolences to you all at this time. I hope that by knowing Hubert was so loved, you will all know that you are all so loved.
I knew him as a honest, very respectable man who praised his family very much.
We can't be there with you at this time, but you are in our thoughts and prayers.
