Dear Richard and family. Lynne and I were saddened to hear of your loss of Boyd during our vacation in Florida. We were also away when Helen died. They were very special people who we got to know during our many suppers at Joe.s. Our daughters, Paige and Sam always said it was going to Grandmas for dinner with Helens wonderful cooking and Boyds entertainment. You always felt good when you left their company. Their contributions to the Fredericton community over the years were immense and they will truly be missed. Peter and Lynne Fraser

To Richard, Nancy and Judy:
I have known Boyd and Helen all my life. Growing up in South Devon, everyone knew them. One could write a book on your parent's acts of kindness and charity, not only for Devon, but for all of Fredericton. Boyd also had a comedic side to him. In the early years of the store there were always laughs and stories with the banter between him and Billy.....too many memories, but all very very good. On behalf of the South Devon Fisher's, I send my deepest sympathies. I will never forget your parents - they were a great, great couple.
