The family of Huntly wishes to convey a heartfelt thank you for all the staff, who cared for and loved him while he was entrusted in their care at St. Peter's Nursing and Rehabilitation Center at Albany, NY. They kept a constant loving watch over him for the last seven years of this life and we shall be forever grateful to all them.
