Marie (my sister) and I send you our sympathy on the passing of your father. You may not remember us – but when I saw the Dufton name in the paper this morning it brought back memories from many years ago. Our parents were Cliff and Esther Salmon. I remember as children we played together with Sharon and David and Marie especially remembered that Helen was her age. Your father and our father apparently worked together as carpenters for our uncle Cliff Elliot – probably 50 some years ago. I remember that our parents at that time were such good friends. We wanted to know that we are thinking of you.
