This is written by someone who did know my father. Our parents were together for 56 years and ran their own independent Title Research business together while in Belleville Ontario Canada. While our dad was in the Canadian Air Firce and did own his own photo studio. The photo studio was sold in the late 60’s. In 1979 our parents moved to California with youngest daughter Shelley and bought a home in Fontana. Dad was hired in several mortgage companies as a Titke Officer until he decided to become a realtor and started selling homes until our parents retired. Once retired they moved to Apache Junction Arizona. After mom’s passing, dad and Audrey found each other and married. The grandchildren mentioned are the total between them both. Dad had 10 biological grandchildren and 3 great grandchildren at the time of his passing. Miss and love them both very much.
