It seems that he made those changes to his account. I did all funeral homes in Brighton, ON CANADA with no results Also did without success 411-CA directory I know of his address (PO Box) in Brighton but that does not give me a phone number I would call and check - René |

I've re-added him to the Member group as "Departed" has a specific meaning on this Forum.
Should someone determine what caused him to make those changes, please PM me with an explanation.

I'm still here, I had to change a few things due to complaints about fonts and sizes etc. I don't know how I changed myself to departed!
I am still here though!

Huh! I don’t think I’m familiar with that 50 plus group thingie. Is that one of our profile settings? No matter - I’ll remember to not change it in any case!

Peter ( brightonpete), I am so glad that you are OK! When I had seen the changes to your profile and avatar, I was really concerned that something awful had happened. |
