1959 - November 11, 2024
Surrounded by family, Richard Kenneth Poole passed away peacefully on Monday, November 11, 2024, at the Lakeridge Health Centre in Oshawa at the age of 65.

PALENCIA, Henry Jesus Aguiar Palencia
Henry Jesus Aguiar Palencia
27-Mar-1952 - 9-Oct-2024
A great man of colossal strength and lucidity has departed with The Lord. Henry, also known as Chachi, Señorón, Macuto, Papi, Amooor, Professor, Sensei, Abui, leaves behind a legacy of love, wisdom, and strength.
Henry's life was centered around his family, who were the foundation of his great happiness. He cherished the time spent with his wife Meiler and his children, facing the trials of life with them by his side. His inexhaustible patience and unwavering strength allowed him to tackle life's challenges with humor, intelligence, and a positive attitude. He never complained, always working tirelessly to provide for his family.
Henry's musical talent made him the heart of every gathering, filling the room with joy and song. His passion for knowledge turned him into an encyclopedia of wisdom, always eager to share insights and encourage others to reach their full potential. He loved baseball and fulfilled his dream of attending major league games with his children and grandchildren.
In his later years, Henry drew closer to his faith, embracing Jesus, the Eucharist, and the sacraments. By God's mercy, we are confident that he is now in the Father's house, reunited with loved ones who have gone before him.
Henry de Jesús, we thank you for your dedication, wisdom, and firmness. For your wit, and for being there in both good times and bad. We love you and carry you always in our hearts. Every day of your life was a gift from the heavenly Father. Now that you have left, rest in peace, continue the celebration in heaven, and may the perpetual light shine for you.
"Henry de Jesús, te damos gracias por tu entrega, sabiduría, firmeza. Por las ocurrencias, por estar en los momentos buenos y en las malos. Te amamos y te llevamos siempre en nuestros corazones. Cada día de tu vida fue un regalo del Padre celestial. Ahora que has partido, descansa en paz, sigue la parranda en el cielo, y que brille para ti la luz perpetua."
