To the editor:
I have just heard a minister speak the words from the Bible: "Inasmuch as ye have done it unto the least of these, ye have done it unto me." Those were the words Robert Dempster lived by. He contributed in every walk of life. He always helped the poor as well as he did the rich. His generosity, kindness and compassion are yet to be equalled. He knew no boundary.
Robert Dempster did not hunger for power alone, but instead chose to give to humanity. His unselfish way of life will be highly rewarding for him.
I knew Robert Dempster only indirectly, but memories of his fine contribution to life will never fade but will live on for me as well as for everyone else.
