Janine Helen Rivard
1954 - 2023
Janine (Wallace) Rivard was a caring wife, mother, grandmother, aunt, sister, and friend. She left this world peacefully in her sleep on August 20, 2023, at age 68.
She was born in London, England to Andy and Freda Wallace on December 22, 1954. Janine married her best friend, Bob Rivard, in September 1990.
Together they had 2 beautiful children: Genevieve and Vanessa (pre-deceased).
In 2010, Janine welcomed her first grandchild, Avalon, whom she cherished and loved with all her heart.
Janine loved spending time in the kitchen, creating delicious foods for everyone to try. Janine enjoyed vacationing in warmer climates with her husband. Janine also greatly enjoyed spending time with her granddaughter and building memories with her. Janine loved children, especially her nieces and nephews, Caeden, Sophie, and Luke, and treasured showering them with affection and gifts.
She worked in the condominium business for nearly 40 years as an exceptional property manager. She was an industrious worker and took pride in doing an outstanding job for her properties and built strong friendships with other members of the field, contractors, and homeowners.
Janine will be deeply missed by her husband, Bob, sister, Lorraine (Dave), daughter Genevieve (Bryan), granddaughter, Avalon, her bonus son Dan, and all her extended family and friends. The family would like to imagine that she is peacefully in the heavens with her parents, Andy and Freda, her Aunt Isa, and her daughter, Vanessa.

Jim Roy Goodfellow
October 6, 1958 - August 23, 2023
We are heartbroken to share the passing of our beloved, Jim Goodfellow.
Jim was married to his wife Sue for 32 years, together for 38.
He was the loving Father to Son Brandon, Daughter Katie, golden retriever Hank and Daughter-in-Law Cassidy.
He was the Son of Lois and Brian (deceased) and the Brother of Mike, Kelly and Kathy. He was the Brother-in-Law of Joni, Nephew to Helen and friend to many including Katie’s partner Mike and his lifelong best friend Brian.
Jim worked for Hydro One for 32 years, and after retirement he started his own business where he found himself back working with Hydro One as a consultant. He was one of the lucky people who found joy in his work.
In his free time, you could find Jim on the golf course, walking his dog Hank, or spending time at home with his wife and family. He was a family man through and through.
To say he will be missed is an understatement, but his family feels lucky to have him for the time that they did and will hold his memory close to their hearts, forever.
We would like to invite you to celebrate the life of Jim Goodfellow on Sunday August 27, 2023 at Low & Low Funeral Home, 23 Main Street South in Uxbridge. The service will be held at 2pm, with a visitation an hour prior and reception to follow.
