Condolences
Dear Marilyn and Don, Peter and Carol and Families, So sorry to have read about your Dad's passing. Please accept my Deepest Sympathy. Sincerely, Barbara Gale
— Barbara Gale, November 21, 2009Dear Peter and Carol and family - It's hard to lose a parent as we have done before - and our memories of Uncle Henry are very special to both of us. I (Kaye) only met him once about 9 years ago, but I spoke on the phone to him often. We were very comfortable in our conversations as he was so much like my own Dad, Ben, in his gentle ways and even in the sound of his voice. We even usually had a few laughs, and I certainly admired his "creativity" - as I recall on my one visit some gadget-type creation he had invented, I believe it was to open a door so he wouldn't have to get up and it was constructed with string and pulleys....I will miss hearing the sound of his voice on the other end of the line on special days. I (Ron) always enjoyed dropping in on Uncle Henry during my periodic visits to the East - we could chat about old times at Woodlands, including him taking me out in his canoe when I was a real young guy. Anyway, it is unfortunate that he had to leave us, but we pass on our condolences to your whole family. We are grateful to have had him here so long, and we know that he had a most fulfilling life. Much love, Kaye and Ron
— kaye and ron neale, November 20, 2009Dear Marilyn and Don and Peter and Carol So sorry to hear about your Dad's passing. Our thoughts are with you. My thoughts go back to the good times on Drake Street and in Rawdon. Your Dad was a part of many of my memories. Listening to all of you in your front parlour playing your instruments was wonderful. Take care and God Bless.
— Carol and Don Smith, November 20, 2009Dear Marilyn, Don Peter and Carol,and all of your families We were so sorry to hear of your Dad's passing. Please accept our deepest sympathy. How wonderful he lived to see 100 years. God bless him. Sincerely Diane and Irene Edwards.
— Diane Edwards Bergin, November 19, 2009I got to know Henry a few years ago when he first came to Caressant Care. Audrey introduced him (and his many harmonicas) to me and we hit it off right away. I go every 2 weeks to play golden oldies on the piano. Henry would eventually be there waiting for me in the foyer and off we'd go into a world of musical nostalgia. He knew the melodies so well and was at ease with syncopation, a waltz or any old beat. He rocked! I hope the angels will carry on as the back up group while Henry entertains his new friends. Goodbye old pal.
— Elizabeth Myers, November 18, 2009To the Family of Henry, It is with deep respect that I offer our sincere condolences to our departed Brother's family and friends. Those who remember his efforts in forming our Lodge, talked about a dedicated Mason who believed in the future of Masonry in Rawdon. Sleep well my Brother, your work here on earth was well done.
