Dear Aira, Hannu, Leila and Timo, and All Your Family Members:
As neighbours all those years, and with Hannu’s and David’s life-long strong friendship, we got to know Hannu so well, and Leila too; we mostly knew Timo as a baby/young child. Martti and Aira worked so hard all their lives, but it was such a pleasure to get to know Aira later on when she (learned English and) became the front-line person in your business. Sadly we hardly knew Martti. We certainly knew he had a wonderfully inventive mind and entrepreneurial spirit and that ‘work’ was his middle name. We are sad to have learned that illness took him so quickly. May your special memories of Martti be a comfort to you.

Aira and family, We are very sorry for your loss. Martti was proud of his family and his many accomplishments. He was a very talented man, he will be missed by many. Gary
