    Don and I are deeply sorry to hear about the death of Uncle Causby. I was thinking today about the wonderful time we had in Vancouver for the World’s Fair. Uncle Causby and Auntie Doris were lovely people and will be greatly missed by all who loved them.

    I am so very sorry. Uncle Causby was a genuinely kind man. I always enjoyed seeing him and hearing about his adventures. Uncle Causby along with Uncle Don would swing through here on their travels. He was one of the few family members that came to my wedding. He will be missed, even though in the last years we only exchanged Christmas cards (thank you Gloria) I just liked knowing he was there.
