Thinking of you at this difficult time. I have many fond memories of "Uncle" Thorton and the whole Eedy clan. One of the best was when Bob and I went with Thorton to the Royal Winter Fair to show his Herfords.
Thinking of the family at this time, especially Joe. Thornton was a pleasure to know and we are grateful for his stories of Dungannon, England and Mexico. We will miss him but thankful that he is at peace now. Via con Dios, Thornton.
Our deepest regards to the family of Thornton Eedy. He was a great farmer and Horned Hereford breeder which we met through the Ontario Hereford Association .We purchased animals of his at sales and visited his farm in Dungannon.
