Dear Mary, Michael, Katherine, and family of Julian,
We met Julian just over two years ago while he was out for a walk. He shook my hand and shook my son's hand then we chatted about gardening, the weather, and our families. We did this about twice a day for almost two years. What a charming way to get to know someone. Our lasting impression of Julian is of a kind and gentle man who loved and respected his wife and children. We are blessed to know him. Our sincere condolences to our lovely neighbour Mary and to your family.
In fond remembrance, Michelle, Gordon, Sebastian

I love you GiGi and I'm so sad that you passed away. When I was around you, I could never frown. You always made me laugh. The one thing that we had in common was violin and now every time that I play the violin I will think of you. You were my violin inspiration and I hope to be as good as you. It will be hard living without you, but thankful forr all the memories that we have together.

Love you so much and I will miss you and remember you until the day I see you in heaven. Say hi to Peeka and Fluffer for me.

Dear Gigi, I love you so much. It is very sad knowing you will no longer be with us here but it is comforting to know you are in a better place. I will cherish the memories we made together forever. Since I was born you always put a smile on my face and you are an amazing grandfather. You always told me to work hard and I will always make sure I do that in honor of you. Everytime you and Nana would visit, we would have great times and in Canada as well. I can't wait to see you again and I know you will be looking down on us up in heaven. Lots of love to you Gigi. I miss you and love you so much.

Love Vanessa

Thank you Gigi for all the memories we created together. I am very blessed that I was able to have a grandfather like you. Some people have never even met their grandparents in their lives. I always remember you as a humble, caring person who would be a strong supporter of the family and considerate to others around you. I only hope to one day have a strong and loving marriage as you and nana did. Thank you for treating her the way men should treat their woman. I will always remember the times you would make everyone laugh. Thank you for being an inspiration to all. Rest In Peace.
Love,
Chrissy

My heart aches terribly over the loss of my Uncle. He was such a gentle, kind, patient, and caring man. He had such a big, positive influence in my life especially during those formative years when I was growing up. He taught me so many things in the absence of my own father. He taught me how to fish, how to bait a line, and the joy of fishing even if you had to wait a while for a bite. This was something I was able to pass on and enjoy with my own daughters when they were young children.
He taught me how to paint the exterior of a house before everyone had aluminum soffits and eaves. He patiently showed me how to place the ladder, load the brush, paint the strokes, and how to hang the paint can by a clothes hanger from the eaves so it could be easily reached and moved along as you painted.
He taught me how to plant a tree from digging the right size of hole, to layering the soil in the hole with bone meal and peat moss, to watering the hole before setting the tree. Later in life, when I owned my own homes, my neighbours would always ask me " why when you plant trees or shrubs they never die " . It was because my Uncle taught me the right way to plant them.
This spring I will plant a tree in his memory on my property in Niagara.
My Uncle was the closest man I had to a father. I loved my Uncle dearly and will miss him greatly.
Rest in peace Weechew
Love Always

My father, (Tot), as we called him in Ukrainian, was to me always a gentle and supportive role model, and loving person and a great husband to my mother. Together they provided guidance to me and unending love and support.

Thank you Tot for all your support, in trips we took, fishing expeditions, and working at the business I owned in Brampton many years ago. Thanks for making me strive for better things in life and showing me how to have a carefree and fun side as well. Thanks for teaching me many skills in life by your example and sacrifice.

You will be missed and loved forever. May you rest in peace and join our loving Father in Eternity.

Mike

My dear and loving husband and father after 63 years of marriage you have left me. We were always together I miss you very much. I ask God to help me accept this change and the faith not worry about tomorrow without you and grant that we will be together again I will always love you. Rest in peace Love Mary

"Death must be so beautiful. To lie in the soft brown earth, with the grasses waving above one's head, and listen to silence. To have no yesterday, and no to-morrow. To forget time, to forget life, to be at peace."
—Oscar Wilde

My darling, sweet and gentle father,I will miss you more than you will ever know. The secrets we shared, the ideas, thoughts, philosophies and concepts, as dear to my heart as ever could be and so much a part of our two lives. Although you are not in front of my eyes right now, your picture in my heart will remain beautifully pristine forever. I love you.

Your daughter,
Katherine

My dearest brother Julian
I said a special prayer for all that makes you happiest.
It may seem that I'm here and you are there. Why should I be out of your mind because I'm out of your sight? There's an open gate at the end of the road through which each must go alone. Beyond the gate your loved one finds happiness and rest and there is comfort that a Loving God knows best. All is well, one brief moment and all will be as it was before.
Love you
Sophie
