my father, Earl

Many of you know that my father Earl passed away last Wednesday morning (8/7).  I am sorry if you are first learning of it here.

I am very grateful for my dad and his life.  He was so excited about our wedding after meeting Rosa last year.  He looked forward to the celebration and opportunity to spend extra quality time with Eve, Victoria, and a new extended family.  On his last day he expressed disappointment in the timing of things, but thankfulness that we could all be with him at the end.

Despite his passing, because of his support, best wishes and expressed intention, we are still able to enjoy each others' company, share good times and memories.  In his honor on Sunday the 25th, my hope is that each of us will be present to the precious few moments we have with each other.  Those moments will never repeat the same way in the future, and as such create the possibility to savor them even more.

Earl and Elaine welcome you for this special occasion.

Correction: 7pm is start time for Cocktail Reception

Hi all,

Details have been finalized for the reception at SydneyTown.  Fun begins at or after 7pm until the wee hours.  There should be plenty of parking in the downtown area since it is a weekend night, however a taxi is recommended ;)
