Lloyd passed away at ARCH Hospice in Sault Ste Marie on February 2, 2020 at the age of 85. He was husband and best friend of Margaret (nee Murphy) for over 64 years, and loving father of Karen (Jim), Kathy (Keith), Christopher and beloved daughter in law Cathy (Jamie). Lloyd was predeceased by daughter Kimberly, son Kevin and granddaughter Michelle, by parents Edward and Luella Adamson, Sisters Joyce and Joan also brothers Ivan and Gordon. "Papa" will be fondly remembered by 9 surviving grandchildren - Bonnie (Ron), Stephen, Jennilu, Donna, Christopher, Stacey, Jessica, Katlyn (Jeremy) and Gregory. Lloyd was proud "Great Papa" to Tom, Avery, Jace, Debbie and Kinsley. Lloyd will be missed by his surviving siblings June, Jean and Bruce (Paula) as well as numerous nephews, nieces, cousins and a seemingly endless stream of friends. Brother-in-Law to Rosemary (Don), Eileen (Bill - recently deceased, Lloyd's longtime school chum), Suzanne (Hardy), and Monica (Neil). He was a Letter Carrier for Canada Post in Oakville until retirement took them to Elliot Lake where Lloyd and Margie enjoyed golfing, hunting, fishing, berry picking for their famous jellies and just generally enjoyed the great northern outdoors. Both Lloyd and his alter ego "Pappy" played and coached both baseball and hockey for many years in Milton and Oakville. He and Margie were longtime faithful Soo Greyhound fans (Go Hounds Go!), for many years they would travel from Elliot Lake to Sault Ste Marie for all Hounds' home games. He will always be remembered for his love of life, keen sense of humour and his larger than life personality with that booming voice and laughter. There was always a party going on wherever he was and oh how he loved to party! The only thing he loved more than a good party was Margie, the love of his life. Starting in their late teens, they were inseparable, going to baseball, hockey and football games, swimming, skating and dancing. Put Big Band music on, especially Glen Miller and could they ever "cut a rug", spinning and twirling around the whole dance floor where many a time the other couples would clear the floor just to watch them dance. It was not so much their great dance technique, rather the chemistry that radiated from them that would open up the floor and light up the room. Even during the final days, when she walked into his room at Arch, his face just lit up. The Family would like to extend their greatest gratitude to the Doctors, Nurses and all the Staff at the SAH Renal Clinic for the loving care they gave Lloyd. Also, a Thank You to the staff and volunteers at ARCH who helped Lloyd's journey from this world to the next a peaceful transition. A special thank you is extended to Shirley at Renal for all your attention and help in smoothing the way at this difficult time. At the request of the family, please make memorial donations to: Sault Area Hospital Renal Care Fund (foundation@sah.on.ca) or to ARCH Hospice, https://www.archhospice.ca/memorial-gift.

Nancy Adsett (nee Baker) passed away peacefully on May 29, 2023. Born in 1927 in Toronto, Nancy grew up the granddaughter of the mill that later became "Mr. Christie you make good cookies." Her mother, Sheila Brown, married Howard Baker, who founded Baker advertising. She went to Havergal and St. Clement's with her younger sister, Sally (Grout). Nancy enjoyed the summers in Temagami and taught horseback riding at Taylor Stanton Camp. Nancy got her love of horses from her mother, which she then passed on to her daughter and granddaughter.Nancy knew she wanted to be a psychologist from a young age. Although she loved horses and dogs, her true passion was working with children. After high school, she studied at Victoria College at the University of Toronto, and finally completed her studies at Ontario Institute for Studies in Education with a PhD in clinical psychology. Nancy met her husband, Alex, working with veterans in neur-ology at Sunnybrook Hospital. They were a match made in heaven: the psychiatrist and psychologist. They shared ideas and challenged each other to think in broader terms and supported each other throughout their long careers. Nancy and Alex lived and worked in the United States during their early years of marriage. They finally settled in Burlington, Ontario, in 1967, where they raised their family and Alex helped pioneer the McMaster School of Medicine. Nancy worked with children and their family alongside Dr. Stone at Joseph Brant Hospital. Nancy founded the children's assessment and treatment centre ("CATC") in 1974 which later became Reach out for Kids ("ROCK"). Nancy developed CATC to meet the developmental, social and emotional needs of children and their families. She had a special interest in supporting kids' educational needs. In 1981, Nancy and Alex moved to Palo Alto, California, where Alex studied at Stanford University. Nancy used this sabbatical to study the benefits for children of equine therapy. Upon their return to Burlington, Nancy worked for the Peel Board of Education. Nancy worked with Peter Fisher to develop a fun after school program for children who were struggling in school and served on the Nelson Youth Centre Board of Directors. In her senior years she had a private practice in Burlington. Over her career, Nancy helped many young people overcome their learning disabilities and enjoy school.Nancy had endless energy and optimism. Nancy had a great way with people, with her hilarious sense of humour that could bring out the best in anyone. She was kind, generous, and always wanted to help. She had a way of always seeing the good in people. Nancy had several good years with the love and support of her amazing PSWs Rosvilla, Susanna, Lyneth and Shirley. Nancy leaves behind her husband of 68 years, Alex, and her beloved dog, Monique. She had two children, Brian (Carolyn) and Sandy (David) and four grandchildren, Braden and Sean (Adsett) and Ally and Jack (Dunlop). She will be truly missed by her family. She dedicated her 95 years to assisting others with gratitude and humility: a life well lived.

Belva Joan MacDonald Aghion born February 22, 1944, succumbed to complications and passed away surrounded by her family on January 17, 2020. Born in Wilkie, Saskatchewan, Belva grew up in a large and loving family with seven brothers and sisters on their parents' farm. She met the love of her life in her early 20s, Joseph Aghion and they raised two sons. She loved being around people and found that waitressing was the best way to do that and had always had a job working in the service industry. Working at Mount Royal Restaurant in Burlington, she always wore a smile when she served, and never complained if she had an off day or was under the weather. She was loved by staff and customers alike. Belva is survived by two sons and their spouses, Lee Aghion with wife Patricia, and Ariel Aghion with wife Moira, as well as her two grandchildren, Caleb and Jayden. Belva was a beloved mother and an amazing grandmother. Her joy for life was apparent when she entered a room let alone started speaking. She was a great confidant who had a heart of gold and was incredibly generous to a fault. She has touched the souls of everyone who met her and will be so terribly missed. She is with Papa now and they have each other. Condolences, memories and photos may be left at www.circleoflifecbc.com

It is with great sadness to announce the passing of Larry Kenneth Agla due to complications from cancer after a courageous battle lasting almost 2 years, with his wife and children by his side. Larry is survived by his always loving wife Linda of 49 years. Larry unconditionally loved his three sons Brian, Derek, Mark and their spouses Desty and Yun. He was a proud "Papa" to Calvin, Chloe, Jana, Ellie and Logan. One of his greatest joys was spending time with his grandchildren. Larry met Linda when they worked together at Kresge in Windsor, Ontario where they also exchanged wedding vows in 1971 at St. Barnabas Church. Larry was a devoted son to his parents Ruth (predeceased) and Ellis (predeceased) and brother to Harold and Lenore and brother in law to Mary-Jane, Malcolm (predeceased), Buddy (predeceased), Terry (predeceased), Mike (Tina), Murray and Patty (Craig). Larry was a longtime employee of the Kresge/Kmart Department store for 33 years starting in 1966. Larry started as a part time busboy that eventually led him all the way up to Buyer. During his semi-retirement he became Vice President of Banvil 2000 (12 years) and L+L Consulting and Overseas Sourcing with his wife Linda. One of Larry's greatest passions was the game of golf both on and off the course. Sunday was golf day at the Agla house. Whether it was the Masters or the Canadian Open it was always on TV and wagers placed with his sons. In 1985, Linda and Larry started the annual tradition of Christmas Caroling while on Jena Crescent with neighbours Gary and Carlos. A tradition that carried over when the move was made to Strathcona Crt in Milton (1988). The Agla house was always the last stop for the night! Caroling and the rating of the Christmas Tree is a tradition that still exists today. Wherever Larry lived he was always a well respected and cornerstone person in the neighbourhood. Visitation services will be held at J.Scott Early Funeral Home, 21 James St. in Milton on Saturday September 12th between 1-3:30 p.m. Due to Covid-19 restrictions there is a maximum capacity of thirty people but plan to have a general flow through the home.

Florence Allain was a beloved wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother during her wonderful 84 years of life. She passed away Thursday, October 20, 2022, after a brief illness. Florence had a long and full life, marked by unparalleled perseverance. She was born on August 8, 1938, to Michael and Margaret Conway in Kelly's Cross, P.E.I., on a farm. She was the fourth youngest of 11 children. In 1958, Florence moved to Montreal where she met the love of her life, Len Allain. A mutual friend introduced them, and they immediately had eyes for each other. When Len decided to move to Toronto, he asked her to go with him, and lucky for him, she agreed right away. They married on September 3, 1960, at the Holy Family Church in Parkdale, Toronto. They had two children, Cheryl (1961) and George (1964-2002). David, Cheryl's husband, became an important part of the family too when he was a teenager. Len and Florence were completely inseparable and the best of friends. They had just celebrated their 62nd anniversary. They spent many years enjoying the little things together: drinking tea; going on walks; eating their favorite soup for lunch; going on driving adventures to explore new places; watching Jeopardy in the evenings. Together they were snowbirds every winter, adventuring together off to the warmer climates of Florida, California, and Arizona. Florence had many friends and loved to socialize one-on-one, taking her grandkids along for chats with her friends whenever they visited. She loved the sun and gardening. She couldn't wait to get back home to Canada each year to start planting. Florence was a true hard-worker at everything she did. Once she put her mind to something, she always accomplished it. She worked at CN and, together, she and Len saved up to buy their first house. In her forties, when she wanted to get a job at Ontario Hydro, the fact that it required her to be able to drive wasn't a barrier—in her forties, off she went and got herself a driver's license. Above all, she would have done anything for her family and she was set on ensuring the best life possible for them. Following in Florence's path, Cheryl also managed to balance working and motherhood; she became a successful lawyer, as did Florence's two granddaughters. Florence was also very proud of her son-in-law and grandson, the two scientists in the family. Florence had three grandchildren: Lauren (Alex), Carly (Matt), and Evan (Jenny). She thought they were the most perfect grandchildren anyone could ever have and loved to tell people about them or show off pictures. When Cheryl, Dave, and the grandchildren lived in England in the 1990s, Florence and Len had the chance to visit several times and take trips to Dublin, Paris, Northern France, and many parts of England. Florence's favorite place was Dublin. Once her family lived in the United States, she went on many trips there, but one that really stuck out was when she went to see the Mission of San Juan Capistrano, where the famous swallows return annually. She was often incredulous about the places she got to see, saying "I can't believe I'm here". Florence was also thrilled to become a great-grandmother: Rowan (age 3 ½), Sydney (age 2), and Ainsley (age 8 months) were a constant source of pride and delight to her. Florence and Len moved from their house in Millcroft, Burlington, to a beautiful condo in April of 2022. Cheryl helped them decorate their new place and Florence loved all her new furniture; she always said she didn't miss a single thing about her old house. Most of all, she loved the view of the escarpment and the lake from her favorite blue chair near the window on the eighth floor, right next to her husband's chair. She will forever be remembered by her family, including her sister Helen, sister-in-law Irma, many nieces and nephews, and by the many lives she touched. Her family will never take for granted that Florence is the reason that they all exist, and her legacy will live on in that way forever.www.smithsfh.com

June 6, 1931 - October 11, 2022 "I must go down to the seas again, to the lonely sea and the sky,And all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by."Bob Allan slipped away October 11, 2022, surrounded by family, accompanied by poetry, stories and song. He was 91.Bob considered any day spent on water a good day. He bequeathed to his kids and grandkids a steadfast work ethic, love for the outdoors and an unapologetic stubborn streak. He was quiet and kind in equal measure.Sherrill was Bob's world. They climbed Mount Royal on their first date, married in Hawkesbury in 1958, then raised their four kids in three provinces. They travelled the world, danced the strathspey and binged-watched British mysteries. William Robert was born in 1931 to Donald and Eula. He was raised in Bronte where his family ran Allan's Drug Store, a pharmacy at the heart of village life. He was the eldest of four children. Predeceased by Paul and Walter, he is survived by Mary Jane. Bob was a graduate of Royal Military College in Kingston and served in the Royal Canadian Naval Reserve. In 1954, he earned a second chemical engineering degree from the University of Toronto and joined the British American Oil Company. During his career, he worked with Gulf Oil, Petro Canada and Husky. He almost never missed an RMC reunion.Bob was an active member of the 78th Highlanders and a founding member of the Schiehallion Scottish Heritage Society. He loved pipes and drums and turned over Januarys to Burns Nights (plural) — his final one celebrated on Zoom. He belonged to the Stanley Park Lawn Bowling Club, played a mean game of bocce and was a long-time member of St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church and the Naval Officers Association of Calgary.A diehard Stamps fan, Bob was a Trivial Pursuit ace and a history buff who would never bypass a roadside marker. You could usually find him lost in a book.During his final years, which were not easy, Bob approached days with tenacity and grace. A boffo grandfather and great-grandfather, Pops always had time for one more bedtime story. One day, Janelle, Schevann, Trekk, Dan, Owen, James, Will and Leo will pay it forward. Bob leaves behind Sherrill ("my dear"), his cherished partner of 64 years, and will be hugely missed by his kids: Bruce (Debbie), Peter (Nancy), Sue (Scott) and Keith (Laura). His lessons in generosity will guide our days.Bob wanted us to extend gratitude to We Care and the teams on Unit 73 at Rockyview for round-the-clock tenderness and care.Even on his final day, he was reciting poetry:"And all I ask is a merry yarn from a laughing fellow-rover,And quiet sleep and a sweet dream when the long trick's over."A family celebration will be held. Internment at Oakville's Trafalgar Lawn Cemetery will take place next spring. Condolences, memories, and photos may be shared and viewed at www.McInnisandHolloway.com.In living memory of William Allan, a tree will be planted in the Ann & Sandy Cross Conservation Area by McInnis & Holloway Funeral Homes, Fish Creek, 14441 Bannister Road SE, Calgary, AB T2X 3J3, Telephone: 403-256-9575.

Dr. Sundaram Vivek Anand ("Andy") MBBS, MPH, FRCS (C) grew up in the holy city of Benares, India where he learned Sanskrit, a language in which he could recite the entire Bhagavad Gita from memory. He went to medical school at age 16 in Agra, then trained in England as a surgeon (FRCS, 1959). In Ireland, when giving a lecture on Gandhi's teachings, he met Dr. Saroj Daulat Ram, and they married shortly thereafter. Together, they worked as a medical team in Nigeria and India before immigrating to Kentville, Nova Scotia in 1965. Here, they raised their three daughters Gitanjali, Indira Anita, and Sonia Savitri for 20 years. Anand and Saroj embraced life in Nova Scotia with enthusiasm learning to ski, curl, and sail and taught their daughters the value of community and service to others. Sadly, Anand passed away on October 3, 2022, with his daughters by his side, holding his hands and reciting his favourite shlokas. He practiced general surgery for almost 50 years in London, Kentville, Napanee, and Georgetown, responding to calls for his community on a 24/7 basis. He pioneered gastric bypass surgery in Canada, performing over 100 of these surgeries and publishing the first experience in the Canadian Journal of Surgery in 1984. He completed several loc*ms in Canada's North, including in Iqaluit and Moose Factory. He taught surgery and lectured in public health at Queen's University. Anand started to draw and sketch at a very young age. His kindergarten teacher encouraged his parents to support his artistic talent and his future education. His abilities became more apparent during medical school where he excelled in the study of human anatomy. During his postgraduate studies in England, he illustrated medical textbooks on a part-time basis for one of his professors. Anand was able to answer examination questions by illustrating the human body through his drawings.After arriving in Canada, his surgery practice was complemented by his passion to learn and capture the Canadian landscape through his art. He attended many art workshops in Spain, France and elsewhere in Europe, along with international artists. His artwork has been exhibited in Nova Scotia and Ontario. In his later years, he taught painting aboard cruise ships in Southeast Asia and Alaska. Anand's father was a disciple of Mahatma Gandhi, working with him and participating in India's independence movement. As a young boy, Anand grew to know Gandhiji and was a devout follower of his teachings. Anand recited chapter 2 of the Bhagavad Gita every day. He was a true Karma Yogi and always sought a path to reach moksha (spiritual liberation) through work.During his busy surgical practice, he routinely left family dinners "to do an appendix." Nevertheless, Anand enthusiastically fit painting, baking, and golfing into his days. Anand had an infectious joie de vivre which he imparted to everyone he met, always welcoming them into the family home. He was happiest when he was able to socialize with his family and friends.Anand was dedicated to education, both his own and his family's. He took piano lessons as well as Spanish and French lessons (the latter with his daughters). He loved to garden and read books and journals of all sorts, which he underlined and highlighted for his daughters before passing them on.Anand is predeceased by his dear wife Saroj, and his siblings Pushpa, Ramakrishna, and Padma. He leaves his devoted daughters Gita, Anita (John), and Sonia (Myles), and adoring grandchildren Anand, Anjali, Sonia, Monica, Anand, Kashia, and Sachin, his sister Saraswati, and cousin-brother Captain KC Shekar, his large extended family, and his many friends.The family extends their heartfelt appreciation to his dedicated caregivers: Jasmine, Hanna, and Mamkon, Dr. Patrick Magloire as well as the staff at Pearl and Pine. I slept and dreamt life was joyI awoke and saw life was serviceI acted and behold, service was joy.Rabindranath TagoreFuneral and visitation arrangements have been entrusted to www.smithsfh.com.

Many times he ensured anonymous donations were made for families not able to pay the registration fee. He was not a rich man, but he had a heart of gold and developed long lasting friendships with many of those he coached. For the past nine months Mike was under the exceptional care of Dr. Brian Leber at Juravinski Hospital and we thank him for all his efforts to help Mike conquer this beast. No stone was left unturned. A special thanks to Nurse Practitioner Julia Rivers and Resident Physician Shreyash Dalmia for their care and not being afraid to say what needed to be said. A huge thank you to all of the staff on the fourth floor with a special thanks to nurses Nicole Campbell and Kathryn Fenlon for going above and beyond and holding our hands right to the very end. It is because of all these people that Mike was able to make this journey with grace and dignity. Not all heroes wear capes. As per Mike's wishes there will be no funeral service. Arrangements have been entrusted with Beckett-Glaves Family Funeral Centre, 88 Brant Ave., Brantford, 519-752-4331. If you like, donations can be made to Helping Heroes Heal via Chad@helpingheroesheal.ca or to Juravinski Hospital Hamilton. Condolences, donations and tributes are available at www.beckettglaves.com A tree will be planted in memory of Mike in the Beckett-Glaves Memorial Forest.

She will be missed by many nieces, nephews, extended family and friends.Virginia married John in 1957 and immigrated to Canada in 1959 from the island of Faial in the Azores, Portugal. She worked at Oakville's basket factory then cleaned homes for many years. She was an avid seamstress and lace crocheter and made beautiful crafts and crocheted angels which she donated to the St. James' church bazaar every year. She was also well known for her delicious Portuguese sweet bread which she made by the oven-load, and gave to friends and family at Easter, Pentecost, Christmas and whenever she felt like pulling out her massive ceramic bowl to beat the eggs and make loaf after loaf.She spent many summers in her home town of Praia do Norte in Faial, Azores in her little oceanside home that she so loved. The house was originally her father's and she lovingly renovated it in the 1980s turning it into a sweet home-away-from-home. There she spent many hours socializing, cooking and sewing while enjoying the beautiful scenery and fresh ocean air.She was deeply devoted to the Blessed Mother Mary and was often seen with a rosary in her hands telling us to be quiet because she was praying. She enjoyed being in church and would never neglect to have a mass said for a loved one who had passed. She often prayed for her family's health and well-being, and those heaven-sent prayers will be greatly missed.She leaves us with many sweet memories as we bid Virginia a fond farewell until we meet again in God's sweet embrace.

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of John Garcia Silveira de Andrade on July 14, 2023 at 90 years of age. John is together again with Virginia, his wife of 64 years. He is survived by his daughters Judith (Heraldo) Moitoso of Cambridge and Lucy (Michael) Gruber of Oakville, granddaughters Angela (Peter) Topolovec, Donna (Scott) McAulay, Gloria Moitoso, Faith and Nicole Gruber, and great-grand-children Kaison and Everleigh McAulay, and Dario and Anika Topolovec.

He married Virginia in 1957 and immigrated to Canada to start a better life for his family. He worked on the rail lines and talked about having to sleep in train cars and being rattled out of bed in the middle of the night when a speeding train went by. He eventually got a job as a school custodian and spent the majority of his work life at St. Joseph's school in Oakville. He was known for going on the school roof during recess and surprising the kids by throwing down all the balls which had accidentally landed on the roof during the school year; he loved to hear the squeals of delight as the children suddenly realized it was raining balls! He was a quiet man who loved being outside and tending to his vegetables and fruit trees. He was known for grafting trees and you would often be surprised to see more than one type of fruit growing on the same tree. You could often find him sitting on the patio just watching his garden grow, listening to the birds chirp, and taking in the fresh air. His grandchildren and great-grandchildren were his loves, and his face lit up whenever they came to visit. He loved woodworking and would make little toys and figurines for his grandchildren to play with. He would tell stories from his childhood, and would some-times crack a joke making everybody laugh.For the last few years as his health was declining, he was cared for by the staff at Palermo Village and then at Allendale Long-Term Care. Many thanks to all the wonderful staff who took such good care of him, and to Raul for giving him spiritual comfort as he was ending his earthly journey. He leaves us with many stories and memories, and we now must bid John a fond farewell until we meet again in God's loving arms.Visitation will be at Kopriva Taylor (64 Lakeshore Rd W, Oakville) on Sunday, July 23 from 1-3 p.m. and 6-8 p.m. Funeral Mass will be at St. James Roman Catholic church (231 Morden Rd, Oakville) on Tuesday, July 25 at 10:30 a.m. with burial at Trafalgar Lawn Cemetery.

June Rose Andrews (nee Hall) 16 June 1922 - 13 January 2021 June passed away peacefully in Perth, Ontario, in her 99th year. She was born in Ottawa to Gordon and Mary Hall and lived in Manotick, before leaving to attend the University of Toronto. In 1950, she and her family settled in Campbellville, where she lived until 2007, when she moved to Guelph. Her final two years were spent in Perth. June was predeceased by her husband of 64 years, Leonard, her sister Patricia McCarthy, her granddaughter Katherine and her daughter-in-law Suzanne. She is survived by her sister Barbara Willis, by children Bill (Xiaoying Cao), Peter (Holly), Jennifer (Dan Waterston) and Mary (Doug Forde), by 11 grandchildren, by 15 great grandchildren and by her greyhound Purdy. June lived an active life. She enjoyed tennis, swimming, cross country skiing, bridge and walking her dogs. She also loved spending summers at her cottage on Lake Kashwakamak. In Campbellville, she was very active in service clubs, such as the Women's Institute, the Anglican Church Women, the Nassagaweya Historical Society, and the University Women's Club of Milton, among others. In 1972 she founded SPIN (Stop Pollution in Nassagaweya), which started a recycling program well before similar movements became popular. She was made a member of the Order of Niagara by her Diocese. She authored two books, a history of Nassagaweya and one of her church, St John's Nassagaweya. One of her lasting legacies, apart from her family, will be all the genealogical work she did on family histories. If two words could describe June, they would be love and kindness. She accepted people for who they were, and as a result had many friends. She also loved a party, especially with family. All who knew her are the poorer for her passing. Her family would like to thank the staff of Carolina Retirement Residence and Lanark Lifestyles in Perth for the wonderful care she received there. She was quite comfortable and happy in both places. Due to the pandemic, burial at St John's has been deferred. Donations in her name may be made to St John's Anglican Church Nassagaweya, Médecins-sans-frontières, the Salvation Army or Covenant House, all charities she supported through her life.

Corey was born on Friday July 4th, 1975 in Grand Falls, Newfoundland.

He will be sadly missed by his niece Amy (Marshall) and his close-knit circle of friends.

Upon completion of his training, Corey was once again on the move, this time to Ontario where he started his professional career in the world of information technology (IT). It was his true passion working with computers, networks and navigating all aspects of the internet. Corey was a master of his IT profession, there was no problem too simple or too complex that he could not solve. He was everyone's problem solver when it appeared there was no solution. Corey took great pride in helping anyone who came to him with a problem. His calm, yet assertive manner earned him their confidence, respect and admiration. Corey was an adrenaline junkie as seen in his enjoyment of roller coasters, zip lines (the faster, the higher, the better), bungie jumping, indoor parachuting and outdoor-tandem parachuting. He found soleus in building campfires, dipping his foot in a cool lake, cruising on cruise ships, geocaching and sharing quality time with family and friends. Corey was loved by all. There was never a person that met Corey that did not instantly like him. Corey touched the lives of many through his friendship, generosity, kindness, mentorship, giving freely of his time, knowledge and sharing his love to help his fellow man. He was just that kind hearted. The short time we spent with Corey was a gift. In his untimely passing, he is showing us to "do it today, don't put it off until tomorrow".The family would like to thank and commend the staff of Juravinski Cancer Center in Hamilton, ON for their tireless work and compassion they bestowed on Corey and his family during this difficult time. Their effort and support was greatly appreciated.A Celebration of Life for Corey will take place on Thursday July 7th, 2022 at 11 a.m. following by an inurnment at Glen Oaks Funeral Home and Cemetery, 3164 Ninth Line, Oakville, ON, L6H 1A8.

ARMITAGE, Neil Neil Godfrey Armitage was welcomed into the Loving Arms of Jesus on October 8, 2014. He was joyfully met at the Gates by his father, William G. Armitage, his mother, Gena May Armitage, and his sister, Pamela Janice Armitage. We know that there will be much celebrating at his arrival in Heaven! Neil touched so many lives in his 61 years here on earth. Gifted with Downs Syndrome, he shared love with everyone he touched. Neil just radiated joy. Neil spent most of his life in and around the Milton area. For over 20 years, he could be found packing groceries and picking up carts at the local Loblaws. He loved his job, because he got to interact with people all day long. And you could not come into contact with Neil without your day becoming just a little bit brighter. His smile and hugs were infectious. Neil's life would not have been nearly as magical if it were not for the extremely high level of compassionate care he received from all the tireless efforts of those that work for Community Living. He was "family" to so many people. He never tired of sharing his photo albums with anyone that came within his reach, or singing along with Shania, Anne Murray, or Johnny Cash. Music was his passion. Neil could be found Sunday mornings dressed in his suit, playing the bells and singing along with the choir at Grace Anglican Church. His faith in God was absolute. Twice each year, Neil travelled to join his family in Calgary for the Calgary Stampede and Christmas. He shared his happiness with the multitude with which he came in touch. Most days back in Milton, he could be found wearing clothes that represented his favorite teams, the Calgary Stampeders and the Flames. The last 6 months Neil has spent in the loving care of the excellent staff at Allendale. They made his transition to Heaven painless and comfortable. The Armitage family will be forever thankful. Neil is survived by two sisters and a brother: Nadine Caskey, Delbure, Alberta; Daphne Matthews, Croyden England; and Paul Armitage, Calgary, Alberta. He will also be deeply missed by a significant number of nephews and nieces, their children, and all the people who can say "I knew Neil". The funeral service was held on Saturday, October 11, 2014 at Grace Anglican Church. As expressions of sympathy, a donation in memory of Neil to Community Living North Halton would be appreciated by the family.

It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of our husband, father, grandfather, great grandfather, uncle and friend. Cyril Armstrong died peacefully in his sleep on June 24, 2023. Cyril was born and raised on a fruit farm in Beamsville, Ontario. His parents immi-grated from County Tyrone, Northern Ireland in the 1920s along with a throng of family members. They brought with them the folkloric traditions and gaiety that were a large part of their culture. There was always a poem, a song or a bit of harmless gossip as they canned the peaches or prepared a picnic on the lawn of the farm overlooking Lake Ontario. The warmth and wit of this cast of characters was ingrained in Cyril and he carried it with him throughout his life. Cyril graduated Royal Roads Military college as a Flight Officer and received his Wings in 1949. He then trained on the Harvard and flew the De Havilland Vampire fighter jet as an RCAF reserve pilot. In 1952 Cyril graduated in Civil engineering from University of Toronto and went on to work for the subsequent 38+ years in local government, senior management roles for the cities of North Bay, St. Catharines (1960-73 as Engin-eer then City Manager). He then became CAO of Hamilton-Wentworth (1973-86) before moving west where he served with distinction as City Man-ager for Edmonton (1986-90), and finally as a consultant and Associate of George B Cuff & Associates Ltd. before retiring. His friend and colleague, George Cuff remembered Cy as "a prince of a man who lived and breathed integrity and epitomized a gentleman's way of conducting himself through-out his career as a public servant". Cyril had a diversity of accom-plishments: He volunteered on expeditions to China and India providing expertise in devel-oping infrastructure. He was executive director of the Anglican diocese of Niagara where he was a recipient of the Order of Niagara. He was a Founder of Brock University and the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum, and in the early 1990s he was an Associate Professor of the MPA program at the University of Western Ontario. He was the recipient of several awards for his outstanding service including the Professional Award from CAMA in 1984, Ontario Municipal Manage-ment Institute in 1989, the Distinguished Service Award from ICMA in 1993, the Vanier Gold Medal for Public Administration in 1984, and the Queen Elizabeth II's Diamond Jubilee Medal (2012). Despite Cyril's many achieve-ments, his inclination was to elevate others, showing a special interest and praise for their accomplishments, thoughts and ideas. He never lost his love for the countryside and farmland. Although his aging was encumbered by a slow illness, his positive energy, his spirit, his kindness and his quick wit stayed with him throughout his life. Cyril leaves his dear and devoted wife, Joan Kay (Mraz) as well as his sons David John (Sandra) and Gerald Clark and his grandchildren, Ryan, Amelia, Wesley (Susan), Andrew (Jennifer), Jennifer, William and great-grandson, Max Cyril. He was predeceased by his parents, Clarke and Ellen Armstrong, his brother, George Andrew John, his sister, Margaret Jean Marie and his dear daughter, Darlene Tracy. A sincere thank you to the Tansley Woods staff for their conscientious and dedicated caregiving. A private, family ceremony will be held to remember Cyril, a strongly devoted Christian man who lived out his beliefs and faith in how he treated his family, friends and those he served. In lieu of flowers please make donations, if desired, to St. Alban's Anglican Church, Beamsville, Ontario.

Sadly missed by his sister Gail & husband Larry Davies & niece April and brother-in-law Steven Hopkins & wife Michelle. Gary has one remaining aunt, Ruth Bulmer, in NB along with cousins. His many friends will miss the card games and countless hours of chatting over a dinner table. A private family service will be held and, depending on COVID-19, a Celebration of Life may be organized in the future. In memory of Gary donations to Townsend Smith Foundation (future Hospice) or Milton District Hospital Foundation in lieu of flowers, would be appreciated by the family.

It is with sadness that we announce the passing of Rolando on March 15, 2020, at Oakville Trafalgar Memorial Hospital. We are grateful that he died peacefully, surrounded by family. He was the devoted husband of Carmen for more than 60 years, much loved father of Gabrielle (John) and David (Cathrine) and cherished Nonno of John David, Nicholas, Olivia, and Andrew. Rolando also leaves extended family in Argentina and Italy. Having lived through much adversity as a young person, Rolando, like many of his generation, left Italy in hope of forging a better life. And, that he did. He embraced Canada and the opportunities it provided. Rolando was never happier than when spending time with his family, keeping up with his grandchildren's pursuits, and enjoying a good meal and a glass of wine. He was a faithful and tireless friend, always ready to help with whatever needed to be done. The most important lessons he leaves for us are to love your family, be there for your friends, work hard, always keep learning and never stop being curious. We will miss his unwavering kindness, love and support. Arrivederci! Our family wishes to acknowledge the support friends extended to us during Rolando's illness. In light of concerns related to COVID-19, a private family funeral has taken place. We hope to hold a memorial service at a later date.

One day shy of Mike's 85th birthday, the world lost a legend. Mike grew up in Toronto, the youngest of 8 children born to Thomas (Gaetano) & Catherine. He had a passion for sports, playing football and baseball well into his golden years. He enjoyed a lengthy career at Air Canada, where he would meet his bride Robin (née Kornack, deceased). They married in 1966 and reaped the benefits of working in the airline industry, travelling extensively, collecting memories and matchbooks. Mike had a passion for music and enjoyed spending hours compiling playlists for friends and family from his extensive collection. Mike drew the respect of all who knew him. Not one to ask for help himself, he was always quick to offer a hand to others, often in understated, yet impactful, ways. Remembering him with love and affection are his daughters Stacey, Leslie (Jim), Marisa, and Heather; his dear brother (and fellow cowboy) Sam; many nieces, nephews, colleagues, and a wonderful network of great friends. He was the proud Papa to his granddaughter and best buddy Camille. A special thank you to cousin Cathy Evans Barbetta. We'll greatly miss him.

BARKLEY, Douglas Hammond With heavy hearts we announce the sudden passing of Doug Barkley at home in Dwight, Ontario Tuesday, October 17, 2017 with his childhood friend and sweetheart, who became his loving partner Sherry Wood, by his side. It is fitting that Doug passed away in Dwight where he spent happy childhood summers at the family cabin. Doug was born in Toronto September 21, 1953 and grew up in Oakville. He went to Brantwood, New Central, OTHS and Appleby College. After working with kids at Blue Hills and Syl Apps Doug, always charming and loving people, truly found his calling working for 20+ years in Transportation in the Movie Industry. Doug was a free spirit who truly loved his family and friends. He was a guy who could go anywhere, make friends or someone would know him, and they'd have a laugh. Doug was predeceased by his always supportive parents Harold and Rosalind Barkley. He leaves behind his cherished partner Sherry, his best pals in his two siblings Sharon (Chris) and Rob/Bert (Karen), his children whom he loved, Samantha and Mathew, his granddaughter Leanna, and nephews Peter, Stephen and niece Kate, in addition to all his ""adopted"" Wood family including ""brother"" Larry and the next Wood generations....Heather, Caroline, Nicole, Ryan, Shelly, Ocean, River, Lake, Brooke and Greyson.

BARR, Edward Edward Barr passed away peacefully at the age of eighty-five, on the afternoon of Sunday, October 1, 2017 at home with family. Mr. Barr was born on February 1st 1932, in Verdun to Edward and Catherine Barr. Serving in the Royal Canadian Airforce was among his proudest achievements along with a long and successful career in the grocery business. You have never met a man so passionate about the chocolate content of a chocolate chip cookie or the packaging of a private label salad dressing. A life-long learner, Ed quickly moved onto investing, forever determined to be the best Ed Barr he could be. Although his commitment to his career is undeniable, nothing could rival this great man's commitment to family. Whether as a Son, Brother, Husband, Father or Popa, Ed was first class and exemplary. He never, ever, ever gave up! He married his wife Shirley in 1961 and they remained happily married for 56 years until the time of his passing. She meant everything to him. A strong and supportive Father to both of his children. The lovingness, pragmatism, the passion with which he lived his life and his unyielding commitment to family and community is apparent in both his children, Cathy and Mark. He was a very proud father. He developed strong and full relationships with all five of his adored grandchildren. The best Popa ever. A generous philanthropist, Ed gave willingly and often anonymously to support and empower his community. Ed will be greatly missed but never forgotten. A Visitation for Ed was held at Ward Funeral Home, 109 Reynolds Street, Oakville from 5:00-8:00 p.m. on Wednesday, October 4th. The Funeral will be held at St. Andrews Church, 47 Reynolds Street, Oakville on Thursday, October 5th at 11:00 a.m. with a reception to follow at the Oakville Club

1963-2022We are sad to announce the sudden passing of Sean, on February 21, 2022, due to an unknown heart condition. Throughout his life, even briefly disappearing one day as a little boy, Sean loved to walk in the woods. Whether with a fishing rod or simply walking, Sean frequently spent time on his own and it is fitting that he was on his nightly walk in the park when he quickly passed. Sean will also be remembered for his passion for the Leafs and Jays, and his love for, and work with, horses. We would like to thank all his good friends over the years who brought so much to Sean's life. He leaves behind his parents Joan and Jack, brother Joel and his family Diane, Kiersten and Brendan. A private family service will be held. Arrangements entrusted to the WALL-CUSTANCE FUNERAL HOME & CHAPEL 519-822-0051 / www.wallcustance.com.

BARRASS, Mary (Gaffney) Valiant until the end, Mary Barrass (Gaffney) died on January 13, 2019. Surrounded by family, friends, hymns and love, she was sung home. Mary is lovingly remembered by her son Christopher (Jodi) and daughter Elizabeth (Michael), and her grandchildren Thomas, Vanessa and David. As the second eldest of five siblings, she is survived by her sisters Ann, Eileen and Christine and her brother Tom. Aunty Mary is fondly remembered by many nieces and nephews in Canada and the UK. A true Geordie, who never quite lost her accent after 56 years in Canada, Mary hailed from Newcastle Upon Tyne in England. Howay, man! Mary was a 35 year volunteer in Halton. She held a variety of positions during her 25 years with the OTMH Volunteer Association including the HELPP lottery desk on Thursday mornings. There are many family and friends who own a scarf, hat, mug cozy, stuffed animal, or doll made by Mary's talented hands. A long time member of the Church of the Epiphany craft group, her talented fingers also made prayer shawls, pot scrubbers and Christmas ornaments for folks across Halton. If you came to the Hollyberry fair, Mary's smile and shortbread were there to greet you. Music was very important to Mary and she sang in various church choirs, including Church of the Epiphany, for over 40 years. She was also a member of the Sweet Adelines in the late 1980's. The family spent many happy times going to musicals, movies, and pantomimes and singing their hearts out whenever possible. It's very fitting that Mary died peacefully during family and friends singing Amazing Grace. Friends and family will be gathering at 2 p.m. on Saturday, February 9th at the Church of the Epiphany.

Valiant until the end, Mary Barrass (Gaffney) died on January 13, 2019. Surrounded by family, friends, hymns and love, she was sung home. Mary is lovingly remembered by her son Christopher (Jodi) and daughter Elizabeth (Michael), and her grandchildren Thomas, Vanessa and David. As the second eldest of five siblings, she is survived by her sisters Ann, Eileen and Christine and her brother Tom. Aunty Mary is fondly remembered by many nieces and nephews in Canada and the UK. A true Geordie, who never quite lost her accent after 56 years in Canada, Mary hailed from Newcastle Upon Tyne in England. Howay, man! Mary was a 35 year volunteer in Halton. She held a variety of positions during her 25 years with the OTMH Volunteer Association including the HELPP lottery desk on Thursday mornings. There are many family and friends who own a scarf, hat, mug cozy, stuffed animal, or doll made by Mary's talented hands. A long time member of the Church of the Epiphany craft group, her talented fingers also made prayer shawls, pot scrubbers and Christmas ornaments for folks across Halton. If you came to the Hollyberry fair, Mary's smile and shortbread were there to greet you. Music was very important to Mary and she sang in various church choirs, including Church of the Epiphany, for over 40 years. She was also a member of the Sweet Adelines in the late 1980's. The family spent many happy times going to musicals, movies, and pantomimes and singing their hearts out whenever possible. It's very fitting that Mary died peacefully during family and friends singing Amazing Grace. Friends and family will be gathering at 2 p.m. on Saturday, February 9th at the Church of the Epiphany. In recognition of Mary's amazing life, a Jubilee will be held at the church following the service. In lieu of flowers, the family would appreciate donations in Mary's name to the Church of the Epiphany or the Oakville Trafalgar Volunteer Association.

Paul always said he would go when there was nothing left, and he kept true to his word. In fact, his latest diary had pages set to go to exactly September 4, 2022, the day he passed away peacefully, surrounded by family.Indeed, Paul had done more with his 72 years on earth than some would have taken generations to achieve. From very humble beginnings in the East End of London, England to a strong and steady rise through business and academia in Canada, to his numerous positions with non-profit and charitable organizations, it would take many pages to list out all his various career titles held, accolades given, impacts made, books authored, certifications and degrees earned, marathons ran, and regattas raced. And yet, his greatest legacies are his family, his faith, and his service to community. These three have sustained all of us through the journey we shared with Paul. And these legacies will continue to ripple through the lives of those nearest to him, and perhaps those who maybe just met him briefly.A loving and devoted husband, a loving dad and father-in-law, and the best of grandfathers; Paul has left us strong and ready to carry on. We know he will be with us always. Paul is survived by his beloved wife of 53 years, Sally, his three daughters Rachel Formaro (Tom), Elizabeth Henderson (David), and Charlotte Oickle (Greg), and his grandchildren, Thomas Henderson, Sarah Henderson, and Gabriella Formaro. He is also survived by his sister, Janet Moreland (Roger) and brother, Stephen (Dorothy) and his nieces and nephews.He is preceded in death by his father, Charles Ernest Bates, and his mother, Violet Ruth Bates, aunts and uncles, and various beloved animals that were part of the family over the years.Paul's family wishes to thank the doctors and nurses at Juravinski Hospital and Cancer Centre, especially those working in C3. A Visitation was held at KITCHING, STEEPE & LUDWIG FUNERAL HOME, 146 Mill Street North, Waterdown, Ontario, on Friday, September 9, between 2:00 p.m. - 4:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m. - 9:00 p.m. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be directed to Juravinski Research Institute.

Leah spent her first year of university at Queen's University's Bader International Study Centre at Herstmonceux Castle in East Sussex, England, where she met many wonderful friends and used the opportunity to travel throughout the U.K. and Europe. She absolutely loved Queen's, thriving there both academically and socially. Leah was always an outstanding student, winning many academic awards, and was particularly passionate about singing, foreign languages, and writing. At Queen's she made the Dean's list in both first and second year as well as being awarded the Loretta Johnson scholarship in first year for the highest mark in Spanish. She sang in choirs at Fern Hill and Hillfield Strathallan, and she was elected by her fellow students to serve as the Musician-in-Residence at Herstmonceux (Queen's). Leah studied vocal music with her beloved music teacher Natalie Spurrell for many years, completing the grade 8 Royal Conservatory of Music's syllabus in 2015; she was often awarded First Class Honours in these challenging music exams, and in 2008 she received the RCM's Gold Medal award for the highest mark in Ontario. She participated in many singing competitions as a soloist, and loved performing in musicals at Fern Hill and Hillfield Strathallan. Leah was also a wonderful dancer. She spent many happy years at Grace Academy in Oakville, studying modern dance, ballet, and hip hop. A little bit shy as a young child, she blossomed into a performer and found she loved the spotlight. While some people shrink or become awkward on stage, Leah was relaxed and exuded a warm, happy glow that drew you in and made you want to watch her, whether she was acting, singing, or dancing. Leah was a kind and empathetic person all her life. She could not walk past a homeless person or a street performer without giving some money. She was involved in many charitable activities throughout her school years, volunteering for food banks, fundraising for the Humane Society, helping to clean up her local community, volunteering with Pathways to Education to tutor at risk high school students in Kingston and participating in service trips to New Brunswick (with Young Round Square), and to Kenya (with Me to We). She also loved to travel with her parents, and had the opportunity to explore more cultures in 20 years than most people experience in a lifetime. She was witty and funny, loved food from around the world - with a particular fondness for Italian and Japanese - and was a great baker. Leah also really enjoyed her part-time job at Scotiabank's Oakville Main branch and made many good friends there. Leah is survived by her parents, her grandparents Rosemarie Battista, Stanley and Sheila Smith, her aunts and uncles, Margaret DaCosta (Edward), Annamaria Battista, Michael Battista (Keith), Jeannette Schiffner (Paul), and Doug Smith. She will be missed by her cousins, Erin, Alexandra, Scott, Vanessa (Rob), Derek and Dario. She will be missed by her New Jersey Aunts, Janet Rumble and Joanna Vitone. She will be missed by her wonderful friends, Henna, Elyse, Kyra, Tess, Maddi, Stephanie W., Erika, Sheyenne, Clarisse, Rukhsh, Abby, and Shawna. She will be missed by her boyfriend, Nanau Loewen. And Leah will be missed by the Solimano family of Houston, Texas - Elena, Franco, Flavia, Mario and Cecilia. Leah bonded with Elena when they were young, becoming an honorary member of the Solimano family while they were living in Oakville, and she continued that wonderful relationship even after the Solimanos moved to the U.S.. There will be a Celebration of Life for our beloved Leah on Sunday, February 25, in Hammerson Hall at the Living Arts Centre (4141 Living Arts Drive) in Mississauga. All are welcome. A foundation is being created which will carry on Leah's legacy of giving with details to be provided at her Celebration of Life. https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/leahs-celebration-of-life-tickets-41926301697

Born in Detroit, Joyce returned to Glencoe, Ontario in 1938 with her parents, Herman and Emma Bauer, and older brother, Willis. After graduating from London Teachers' College, Joyce taught in Waterloo before moving to Oakville to teach for the Halton Board, including several years at Percy W.

In retirement, Joyce led an active volunteer life, spending 23 years as a valued friendly visitor for Acclaim Health, 18 years as a member of the Angela Bruce Chapter of the I.O.D.E., and was also a long-time member of T.O.P.S.

She was predeceased by her father Armand Beland and mother Wendy Sandford. Leaving her brother Michael Beland, and step brothers Reg and Dan Roach, all who have and are serving in the Canadian Armed Forces. She will be missed by her family and friends. My last letter to Renee You were in search of salvation. Running in life letting me know every so often how determined you were. We were destined to share life together however the time was oh so short and came when you needed a friend to look to. You are a soul to remember, how you changed me so. I tried so hard to show you trust where you felt your life was of a choosing that challenged you so. You forced me to relinquish the fears of life, we grew together challenging and supporting, exploring, living. You taught me about music, yet we didn't have the chance to take those lessons and play the guitars we so planned to. The concerts you loved and we shared as we explored areas of life. We just seemed to run out of time. I was away, and you reminded me there are two of us, we, and now again only one another. I hear your voice in every corner, look at the gardens you groomed so. In every sense of order we looked on to each day with an early morning sound of music and joy. The taste of the new dishes you loved to prepare and the organization you provided and taught me so. On the last day the words came from your heart. "It's from my heart Ron. I love and miss you so." So do I Renee. Like you know so well. Alone again we go again. This time you were called to be with the father you missed and loved so. And you will finally know your mother as well. For you have found salvation, amongst the Devine. ~ Love Always, Ron Strohan. Milton, Ontario

Ahead of his time he ensured his daughters knew how to be independent, could use tools to do their own tire and oil changes while encouraging their educational aspirations. He supported his son's young hockey dreams through coaching and travel throughout Ontario.Although a comfortable loner, Edgar married a 'Social Diva', so travelled extensively and had a full social calendar.

He was an enthusiastic volunteer for the Knights of Columbus in both fundraising and building maintenance. This multi-talented man spoke 3 languages, was an artistic wood carver, avid reader, amateur historian and loved learning new things about anything and everything! He enjoyed his years at Ford Canada (almost as much as his 30 years of retirement).Cremation has taken place.

If you do all I have ask I will live forever."Messages of condolence can be left at www.billingsleyfuneralhome.com

BELVEDERE, Mario Former C.A.O. of Milton, passed away on May 27, 2014 at age 58. He is survived by his wife and best friend Patricia. He was so proud of his daughter Jessica (Mark Henshaw) and cherished his granddaughters Keely and Raegan. He is also survived by his mother Carolina, his brother Ralph (Carole) and sister Margaret all of Welland and his brother Rico (Cindy) of Stoney Creek. He will be greatly missed by his in-laws, Jim and Isabelle Christie of Milton, Fiona Christie (Asoka Yapa) of Oakville and Douglas Christie (Jane) of Calgary. He will also be missed by his nieces and nephews Tannia, Damien, Alicia, Ryan, Laura and Dan and his goddaughter Julianne. He was predeceased by his father Tony, nephew Mark and niece Rachel. Mario was born and brought up in Welland, and worked for the cities of Edmonton, Scarborough, Markham, Kingston, Grimsby and his favourite of all - Milton. He was honoured with the Milton Chamber of Commerce Citizen of 2013 Award and also received the Queen's Diamond Jubilee Medal. Mario tried his best, along with the Mayor, Council and town staff, to make Milton the best place in Canada to live and work. Mario had many passions: playing soccer, watching and talking hockey and football, gardening and ecology, his cottage at Sauble Beach, travel, investing and laughing. He maintained friends from his childhood (Tony and Dave), University of Waterloo (Duncan, Rose, Jamey, Frank), Edmonton (Duncan, Rose and family, Gary, Bob, Keith), Scarborough (Frank, Kate), Markham (David, Ted, Fred, Chris, Jack), Pickering (Kelley and family), Kingston (Dave), Grimsby (Keith) and too many to list from Milton who should know how much they meant to him. Mario co-chaired the Milton United Way's Mayor's Golf Tournament for many years and was also the campaign chair for a few years. Many thanks to the Kelso Lake Medical Clinic (especially Dr.'s Badawi and Fonseka and Amanda) and the Carlo Fidani Cancer Centre at Credit Valley (especially Dr. Kaiser and the chemotherapy nurses) who looked after Mario so caringly. Mario would appreciate donations to the United Way of Milton or Milton Hospital Foundation. Rather than sending flowers he would much prefer it if you planted a tree or some vegetables in your garden. Mario lived life to the fullest and his joyful exuberance rubbed off on all of those who loved him. We are so relieved Mario is now at peace. Family and friends are invited to visit at the McKERSIE-KOCHER FUNERAL HOME 114 Main St. E. Milton 905-878-4452 on Thursday from 2-4 pm and 7-9 pm.

His life continued to be full of adventures and these adventures turned into many great stories and much laughter. His greatest joys were traveling, playing cards with friends, going to the casino, cooking, great food and drinks, and spending time with family and friends. Somewhere Bob Marley is now playing and new friends are being made. Dad taught us how to love unconditionally, how to give and help others and the importance of family. We will continue his legacy of honoring these values in our own lives as we continue here without him. He will be in our hearts forever. In honoring his wishes there will be no funeral but a celebration of life at a later date.

BENNETT, Suzanne (nee Ross) June 1952 - August 2019 It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Suzanne (Suzie) Bennett (nee Ross) on August 19th at the age of 67 after a year-long battle with brain cancer. Suzanne was born in Regina, Saskatchewan in 1952 to Dulcie (nee Jones) and Maitland Ross, the third of nine children, and raised on the family farm in Milestone, Saskatchewan. Upon high school graduation, she moved to Kamloops, British Columbia where she began nursing college. Within a couple of years there, she met her husband (Bruce) on a chance bus trip from Salmon Arm to Kamloops and were married almost 42 years. Together, they raised four children in Burlington, Ontario, and now have six grandchildren in British Columbia, Ontario and Nova Scotia. She was a well-respected and well-known ICU nurse, having spent approximately 25 years at Joseph Brant Memorial Hospital in Burlington, Ontario, and then in Salmon Arm, British Columbia at Shuswap Lake General Hospital for 15 years, up until last year when she became ill. Suzanne was a selfless woman of many passions and endless compassion for others. Although nurse by profession, she was also a self-taught home-renovator, seamstress, gardener, long-distance runner, hiker, stock trader and reader. Suzie/Mom/Granny will be deeply missed and forever remembered for her soft, caring nature and incredible strength, determination and resiliency. Her legacy for taking care of those around you, creating and leaving things better and more beautiful than when you found them, continues to live on in her children and grandchildren. Suzanne leaves behind her husband (Bruce), children Sharon (Scott), Pamela (Esmeraldo), Diana (Chris), and George, grandchildren Maitland, Aidan, Liam, Margaret, Henry, Clare, sisters Rosemary, Shelley, Julie, brothers Robbie, Jim, George, mother-in-law Mae, sister-in-law Joan and numerous cousins, nieces, nephews, and friends. She is predeceased by her parents, sister Heather and brother Joel. A special thank you to Dr. Jeremy Sawatzky-Martens, Dr. Main, Dr. J.F. Chevalier, the doctors and nurses at Shuswap Lake General Hospital, and the nurses at Bastion Place for their kindness and care during Suzanne's difficult last year. Another special thank you to Joyce, who although retired, continues to live by 'once a nurse, always a nurse'. Suzanne received the highest standard of care that she, herself, would have given to any of her patients and their families. Suzanne's heart and soul were in the community of Salmon Arm - she loved it, and the beauty and bounty it offers. To honour her, benches will be placed in her name at McGuire Lake and Canoe Beach. Cremation has taken place and a celebration of life is planned for October. Stories and notes of condolences are greatly appreciated and can be sent to Suzanne's Obituary at www.bowersfuneralservice.com. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Shuswap Hospital Foundation or The Terry Fox Foundation, or just be kind to someone today.

BENNETT, Mark William It is with broken hearts that we announce the peaceful passing of our son, brother and uncle on December 8th in his 36th year after a hard-fought battle with lymphoma. Mark is the beloved son of Bill (2013) and Joni, ""Best Big Brother"" of Meagan (Jason Burke), Marissa (Brennan Milmine), ""Super Uncle"" of Beckett, Bryson, Bowen and Layne who have made this journey bearable for us just with their presence. Mark attended Billy Green, Saltfleet and Brock. His gift was his ability to relate to children. He was a 10-year volunteer/ employee at Camp Trillium for families impacted by childhood cancer. Mark found his calling as a Senior Therapist and Principal at The Joy of Learning Centre, working with children of all ages with autism spectrum disorders. His patience and kindness were invaluable in helping students learn many life skills including their first words. Mark loved canoeing, fishing, hiking, and campfires under the stars, inspiring and fostering this passion for the outdoors in others, just like his dad had. His calm, confidence and awareness outdoors meant many run ins with wildlife which he shared through silly stories and often pictures, downplaying the scarier encounters with bears and rattlesnakes. When we moved to Burlington, Mark joined recreational co-ed hockey, then branched out to ball hockey leagues and was playing goalie up to four nights a week prior to his diagnosis. Mark and his dad were lifelong Toronto Maple Leaf fans. We would like to acknowledge the wonderful support of family and friends who went above and beyond during the past year. We would like to thank the staff of Joseph Brant Oncology, 7th Floor South and Princess Margaret for their unending support and compassionate care. In recognition of Mark's love of children, the family would appreciate donations to Camp Trillium, The Rainbows of Joy or the charity of your choice.

At one point, she was the head Chaperone watching over 200 kids as they toured both near and far. She enjoyed working (and shopping) at the Elves Workshop. Even with dementia, her smile and laugh would break through from time to time to let us know "I'm still here".

From the farms of Pomquet, Nova Scotia to the nickel mines of Sudbury, Ontario. A life well lived. It is with extreme sadness that the family of Charles (Charlie) Eloi Benoit announce his passing on April 1st, 2021. He was born in Pomquet on February 12th, 1933 to Alice (nee DeYoung) and Leon Benoit. At the age of 18, he drove to Sudbury, Ontario to find work in the mines. He joined INCO at their Creighton Mine and worked underground for almost 40 years. It was also in Sudbury where he met the love of his life, a wee Irish lass named Josephine (Josie) Keogh (predeceased 2012). Together they made a home in Azilda, Ontario where they raised their six children: Bob (Kim), Gerry (Ann), Dean (Suzanne), Maureen (Nathan), Dennis (Anne) and Lori-Ann (Tim predeceased).

Besides his family, Charlie was passionate about many things, such as bowling, Euchre, Cribbage and jigsaw puzzles. He was quite the self-taught handyman who was able to build decks, gazebos, dollhouses, swing sets and could even fix a car or two. Back in the day, he enjoyed road trips with his family to Nova Scotia and summering on Manitoulin Island. Charlie was a devout Catholic and his faith was very important to him. He spent his last 13 years living in Oakville, Ontario. His friendly, outgoing manner allowed him to make numerous friends, especially over the last six years while living at Delmanor Glen Abbey. If so inclined, please make a donation in his honour to the Oakville Trafalgar Memorial Hospital. The family takes great comfort in knowing that Charlie is now reunited with his beloved Josie. A private funeral mass has been scheduled for Saturday, April 10th at 1:00. Livestream is available. Information and online condolences may be offered at www.glenoaks.ca

His passion for motor vehicles extended throughout his life. Clyde could fix any classic or modern car. In his early teenage years Clyde raced motorcycles and became quite adept at the sport as well as racing NASCAR for a couple years. Later in life Clyde explored back country roads either on a motorcycle or in a car. He loved to go for long drives to little known places. However, Clyde was best known for his generosity. If a friend, neighbour or even a stranger found themselves in a fixable predicament, Clyde would be there to lend a hand. He fixed countless cars, provided transportation to the elderly and so much more without asking for anything in return.Clyde's life was made up of wonderful stories. These stories and the love he gave us will always remain warmly in our hearts. Those wishing to make a donation in honor of Clyde to the Alzheimer's Society would be appreciated.

February 26, 1931 - February 22, 2021 On Monday morning, February 22, 2021, with fresh snow on the trees and her bright red cardinals watching through the window, Jennie Mary Bergman (Lobinowich) took her last breath on earth and her first breath in Heaven with Christ and her daughter Barbie. Jennie passed away peacefully in her home holding the hands of her children (Cheryl and Ed), her daughter-in-law (Deborah) and husband Gord. Loving wife of 67 years, mother of three (Cheryl, Barbie (predeceased) and Ed), grandmother (Baba) of seven (Chris, Jon, Barbie, Dan, Andrew, Matthew and Michael), great-baba of two (Toby and Ben); Jennie lived a full and blessed life of 90 years. Born on February 26, 1931, she was the eldest of three children to Michael and Martha Lobinowich and is survived by her sister Stella (Hardy) and brother Ed. Throughout her life, she was fiercely dedicated to her family and her faith in God. Living and growing up on the family farm in Ridgeway Ontario, she graduated as a RN from Niagara Nurses College and went on to work in the OR and as a Head Nurse. Jennie and Gord met at a Youth for Christ Rally, and on February 6, 1954, they were married in Niagara Falls where they lived and began to raise their young family. In 1967, the family moved to Brampton, ON where she was a devoted member at their home church of Kennedy Road Tabernacle. Jennie had a calling and served as a gifted mentor and prayer warrior. In 1968 at the age of six, daughter Barbie passed away from a rare blood disorder. In 1973, Gord, Jennie, Cheryl and Ed moved to Lansing, Michigan for one year while Gord studied and completed his PhD in Education at MSU. Upon returning to Brampton, Jennie continued to serve the Lord, mentoring, and caring for and feeding her family - her hand made noodles, cabbage rolls, borscht, perogies and sourcrout soup will be missed. Then in 1980, she and Gord moved to their home in Milton, ON where she lived for the rest of her life. As an avid bird watcher, Jennie was blessed to have a family of rare Red Bellied Woodpeckers feed outside her front window every year, and in the spring, she and Gord would often take trips out to Point Peelee, ON and watch the myriad of birds during their northern migration. It was in their retirement in 1991 that the Lord called Jennie and Gord to go to Nairobi Kenya, where for five years they served as volunteers at Pan African Christian College. This was the fulfillment of a promise that God had placed on Jennie's heart as a teenage girl, that one day she would serve in Africa. In her later years, Jennie continued mentoring, meditating on God's Word, and praying for and feeding her grandchildren. Her most fervent desire was to have her loved ones come to know the Lord and accept him as their Savior. Special thank you to the community palliative team of Prime Care Family Health, Acclaim Health, and the Halton LHIN. In particular, we wish to recognize the personal loving support of NP Sharilee, and RN Diana.

At 93, Harry had lived an incredibly full life, relishing his roles as a loving father, grandfather, brother, and uncle; distinguished World War II Veteran; plumber and all-around handyman; celebrated former mayor of Oakville; and lifelong protector of public space and municipal heritage. Harry was born in the upstairs bedroom of his parents' modest home on Trafalgar Road and left us a few kilometers away in the house that he built with his beloved wife Jackie. Although he fought overseas and traveled the world, Harry's greatest accomplishments were in his hometown. While serving as the chairman of the Oakville Planning Board in the 1960s and as the 42nd mayor of Oakville from 1973 to 1985, Harry instituted a town policy to buy up parkland for public use. In the early 1980s, he helped found the Old Oakville Heritage Conservation District and was a proud member of the Oakville Historical Society and the Oakville Heritage Committee. In 2012 the town honored his civic leadership by creating the Harry Barrett Waterfront Parks System and in 2016 he was awarded a Lieutenant Governor's Award by the National Trust for Canada. Harry is survived by his daughters Carol and Laurie, his grandsons Chris and Dan, his niece Anne, his great-nephew Ben, his great-niece Amy, and his great-great niece Michaela.

Died peacefully in his home in Bronte, Ontario on January 4, 2023 at the age of 95. A loving father and devoted husband of 56 years, he is survived by his wife Sophie and his daughters Barbara and Annette. Born in 1927 in the western part of Poland, his early life was marked by the struggles of the Second World War followed by the long communist era. Z. "Steve" Betanski as he was later known to his friends and colleagues, emigrated to Canada in 1965 escaping communist Poland in search of a better future for his family-to-be. Having earned a PhD in economics, he held governmental positions both in Poland in the area of international trade and soon after his arrival to Canada he secured a position in the Ontario Government at the Ministry of Industry and Trade where he served until his retirement. A dedicated family man, he provided support to his and Sophie's family in Poland while establishing a 1st generation foundation in Canada. Steve and Sophie built a beautiful cottage near Cawaja Beach on Georgian Bay where new roots were set down through the many trees and shrubs he planted in the gardens that he so loved. At their home in Bronte, Steve had a favourite rose bush he kept in memory of his parents' rose garden. He and Sophie were avid travellers in later years and often spent winters abroad in warmer southern locales.He spoke 5 languages and played the piano throughout his life right up until days before his passing. Although Alzheimer's had taken much of his recollection of the languages, the great blessing was that he was full of acceptance and retained his sweetness, his readiness to share a kind word and it was rare that a day went by without a hearty laugh and a sparkling smile from him. He wrote a book about the Betanski family set against the backdrop of world events of the 20th century which was published in Poland and translated into English, called: "The 20th Century - Its Lessons for Today". The book will be available soon at the University of Toronto Library and in audio format.He was grateful for his long, eventful, happy life and loving family. He will be greatly missed. A Celebration of Life will be held in the spring and family and friends will be notified.
