Urmas Sui
June 29, 1942 - October 5, 2024

Urmas Sui passed away unexpectedly on Saturday, October 5, 2024, at the age of 82 years.

Loved and deeply missed by his wife, Iivi, and by his son Aleks, daughter-in-law Elaine, and granddaughters Stella and Lily. Also remembered by the Bezuhly family and family in Estonia and Sweden.

Urmas loved the outdoors, enjoying decades of hunting and fishing trips, and hiking the Uxbridge trails. His chainsaw held a special place in his heart, and he took pride in overstocking the woodshed with logs for the woodstove. Urmas never lost faith in his beloved Toronto Maple Leafs, convinced that this was the year they would take the Cup.

A long-time proud member of the Toronto Estonian Pistol Club and the Estonian fraternity Sakala, Urmas met life-long friends through these communities. Known as a gracious host, he made friends easily.

Cremation has been entrusted to Low & Low Funeral Home, Uxbridge. A celebration of Urmas’ life will be held at Wooden Sticks Golf Club, Uxbridge, Ontario, on Sunday, October 27, 2024, from 1 PM to 4 PM.

NOBLE, Gordon William Noble - 13-Feb-1940 - 6-Oct-2024

In Loving Memory of Gordon William Noble (Feb 13, 1940 – Oct 6, 2024). With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of our beloved father, husband, grandfather, and great-grandfather, Gord Noble, who left us at the age of 84. Renowned for his impeccable timing, sharp wit, and profound love of theatre, he was a master storyteller who could always bring laughter to any occasion.

As a proud father of three (well, most of the time) and a devoted husband to Dianne for 62 wonderful years, Gord’s humor was unparalleled, as was his remarkable ability to fix nearly anything. His advice often came wrapped in sarcasm, yet it was always delivered with love and care.

Gord leaves behind a rich legacy woven with laughter, love, and song—an everlasting testament to the joy he spread to all who knew him. In his leisure time, he immersed himself in the world of theatre. Whether attending performances or taking part in productions, his passion was infectious. He thrived in his profession, attaining every position he aspired to, and his love for literature, particularly British comedy, was a constant source of delight.

Though we mourn the loss of his first son, Stephen, who left this world too soon, Gord is survived by his two remaining children, Tim and Chris, his long-suffering yet loving wife, Dianne, grandchildren Maddison, Bailey, Hudson, Rowan, and great-grandson Kolton, as well as his sisters Carol and Linda. He touched countless lives with his infectious smile and boundless laughter.

Though he has departed from this earthly stage, we take comfort in knowing he’s up there, cracking jokes and advising St. Peter on how things should be run—likely with a tape measure in hand. A private celebration of his life, filled with food, laughter, and stories he would have adored, will be held in a secret location, where we’ll honor his memory in the spirit he would have cherished.

Rest in peace, Dad. If heaven has a stage, we know you’ll be the first to claim it and shine brightly.

Dennis Connelly
December 6, 1974 - September 28, 2024

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Dennis Connelly on Saturday, September 28, 2024, at the age of 49 years. After a courageous battle against cancer for a year and a half, he passed peacefully with his wife Holley by his side.

Born in Brooklyn, New York and raised in Toronto, Dennis eventually moved to Uxbridge, where he met his wife of 25 years, Holley. He loved NASCAR and his yearly trips to Michigan with his brother and best friends. Sunday dinners with his family while watching his Patriots, Red Sox, or Bruins were among his favorite times. He also cherished his quiet moments spent fishing.

He will be deeply missed by his wife Holley and their two children, Russell and Raine. Dennis is also survived by his mother Mary, brother Robert, step-sister Sebastienne, brothers-in-law Stuart and John, mother-in-law Sandra, sister-in-law Elizabeth, brother-in-law and best friend Tyler, cousin Billy, as well as nieces, nephews, and great nephew. He is predeceased by his sister Sarah, brother Nicholas, and father Herold. The family would also like to extend their gratitude to all of his nursing staff, especially Bre, Natasha, and Vera, for their kindness during his care.

Cremation has been entrusted to Low & Low Funeral Home, Uxbridge. A celebration of Dennis’ life will be held at a later date. As expressions of sympathy, memorial donations to the Canadian Cancer Society would be appreciated by the family.
