    I’m soo sorry to hear that Vaughn has passed. He was truly one of a kind. The time he spent at Hillsview is where I met him and got to know him. I enjoyed all our chats and laughs and his stories. He was a real gentleman. He always had a smile and it could light up the room. I will always remember him. My most sincerest condolences to the family and those that called him friend. Xo

    To Eleanor and all of Vaughn’s family,
    Very sorry to hear of Vaughn’s passing. He was a lot of fun and my mom always loved to see Vaughn so they could raise a little hell. Vaughn seemed to enjoy life to the fullest and always had a smile. His passing means another well-known and well-liked person is gone from our little town. He will certainly be missed.

    Dear Ellie and Family, I was sorry to hear of the passing of Vaughn. I mainly knew him from Zion United Church, where he was so friendly to everyone and always had a twinkle in his eye. When I took over the organ he was so supportive of me. After every service he would thank me for my music and give me words of encouragement. My thoughts and prayers are with you as you go through the days ahead.

    Vaughn was an absolute museum of information and he helped me immensely with my local Black History unit. He had the most wonderful pictures and stories. I sat with Vaughn for many hours recording his information on Tiger Warrington, etc.,and copying pictures which were nothing short of amazing! I was the one being taught! I do hope those pictures will be passed down for posterity to be preserved and learned from. I always had a lot of regard for Vaughn for being so willing to help me.
    Lorne and I send our deepest condolences to Ellie and all the extended family.

    Vaughn was a fun loving guy. To know Vaughan was to love him. I was always included in the family gatherings, when Linda came home for a visit and Vaughn was always the highlight of the evening. He and I had so much love, fun and respect for each other. What a fine man he was. My heart is sad to learn of Vaughn’s passing. Very sincere sympathy to Vaughn’s family and his many friends. Gail (Hirtle) Bridge.

    To all of Vaughn’s family:
    Vaughn and his family lived just two houses down from ours, his on Waterloo and ours on College St. I knew his Mom and Dad well, lovely people, and some of his younger brothers and sisters. As he was older I didn’t see him much, but when he started coming to Zion, we got to talk about some old times. His father and my Dad, Reg, were great buddies and often hunted rabbits together, along with Frannie Mouzar. Oh, the stories I have heard from those trips.
    Sending sincere condolences to Ellie and the rest of the family at this difficult time.
