Condolences

Condolence From: Trevor Hurtig
Condolence: Dear Scott & family,

My deepest condolences on the passing of Al.

While I was working at North Superior Publishing Inc., Al always semed to know just how to brighten my day. I could have just missed a big sale, or perhaps been down about something, but Al could always cheer me up just by walking in the office and reminding me that there will be something else to look forward to, and something else to be excited about. He always had that twinkle in his eye that let you know that he cared about you, and that he was looking forward to life's next adventure.

I am pleased that I had the opportunity to know and work with Al, and I will miss bumping into him at media conferences and such.

I am sorry that I couldn't attend the funeral, but my Grandfather, Harry Hurtig, passed away on Jan. 6, and I still had family in town on Monday.

My deepest sympathies on your loss,

Trevor

Ralph and I are thinking of you and your family. Over the years, you have shared many stories about your family, your parents and Scott. Although we did not have the privilege of meeting your dad, we know from your stories how wonderful he was. We are saddened by your loss and our thoughts are with all of you.

Condolence: Mrs. Sumner:

Not sure if you'll remember me or not--I used to babysit your cat, Rusty, when you resided in Manitouwadge. I still live in Manitouwadge and often think of both you and your husband each time I pass by your old house. Your friendship with me during that time will never be forgotten. I wish you God's peace in the days to come!

Condolence From: Eric Gustafson and Family
Condolence: To Scott and Family.
My sincere condolences on the loss of such a wonderful man, your father. I will always remember his inspirational and encourageing chats that he was happy to give and to share with others. His smile always lit any room and his attitude was so positive and delightful that many should be so grateful to have come to bear witness to his presence. I will truly miss him. From my family to you, your mother and sister, and all your family, God bless you and see you through at this difficult time.
Your friend always,
Eric
