    So very sorry to learn of Paul’s passing, my thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time.

    It doesn’t seem that long ago that we were all skating at the Tantallon Rink and having our skating parties together. We had such fun. Wonderful memories to carry with us forever.

    Dear Sheila Rae and Family,
    So sad to hear of your loved one’s passing. We live near-by but we never met you or your dear husband so we decided to send our condolences along. You may gain some comfort by reading the text at John 5:28,29. This speaks about the resurrection awaiting Paul in the near future. We send this with all our love. Del & Mary.

    Sorry to hear of Oscar’s passing (five years on…). I remember him as a very kind Man, and Father to my Friends Clark and Andrew, when they lived across the street from us on Thedis Avenue in Belmont Park. One memory I have in particular was sleeping over at the Hillaby’s house when my Parents were out. When they came back, they must have asked for me to be sent home. I was already asleep in my Pyjamas, and woke up halfway home as Oscar carried me over his shoulder! I pretended to still be asleep to enjoy the royal treatment! That was typical Oscar…a true Gentle-man.
