Condolences

Condolence From: Helen Pearce Smith
Condolence: Vicki and Jake,

So sad to hear about the passing of your Dad Vic. And Jake, my condolences to you - having a terrific man like Mr. John Dillane in your life for the time you did was a blessing I'm sure.

Vic, your dad taught me many, many years ago how to catch chickens - 2 in one hand and 3 in the other, and then into the crate they go. Although he failed to mention that there would be a significant amount of chicken excrement involved! But it was a fun, and lucrative job for a 12 yr old and we all had so many laughs doing it, and appreciated his trust in us to work hard.

Would you please extend my sincere sympathies to the rest of your family - especially "Tenaj", who used to make us the best treats when we camped out in your back yard.

Godspeed Mr. Dillane (sorry, I just can't address him by his first name - it seems disrespectful - even though I'm 53!

May your fond memories sustain you through this most difficult of times. You're in my thoughts every day.

Helen Smith (Pearce)

Condolence: With sincere sympathy from my Mom and Dad (Bill & Judi McNaughton). My Dad showed me the obituary yesterday and we just wanted to say how sorry we were. I used to skate at Flamboro arena with Vicki and Jennifer. I remember coming to your home on Cedar Sorings and swimming in that great pool you had. Thinking of you Janet, Vicki, Jennifer, Andrew and family. Haven’t seen you for years but just wanted you to know you’re in our thoughts ❤️
