REID, Dave -
October 1, 1943 – July 29, 2024
Dave passed away peacefully in the hospital surrounded by his family.
He is survived by his loving wife of almost 50 years, Pat; daughter, Janis; son, Bobby (Sarah) and his three beautiful granddaughters, Laura, Iris and Amy who he adored watching grow up.
Dave grew up in Toronto and graduated from the University of Waterloo with a degree in mechanical engineering.
He enjoyed a long and distinguished career as a material handling specialist at Hatch Ltd.
He was passionate about many things but his love of both curling and the family cottage always stood out.
The cottage provided the perfect avenue for him to employ his tremendous skills as a carpenter in expanding and refurbishing the 30's era structure and as a boat builder. In curling he enjoyed great success as a player, coach and instructor, but it was the time and energy he devoted to shaping and improving the High Park Club in Toronto that he was most admired and appreciated for.
In the past Dave also shared his time and skills helping the Donway Covenant United Church.
A celebration of life is planned for a later date.
As an expression of sympathy, donations can be made to the North York General Foundation.

RODRIGUES, Fernando Rodrigues
RODRIGUES, Fernando - A life of adventure On Sunday, July 20, 2024 Fernando Rodrigues left us.
He was 77.
Life held adventure for Fernando, his earliest exploit at a very young age, an unsuccessful and dangerous attempt to cross the impressive Tagus River in Lisbon on his homemade raft.

A graduate of Metropolitan University (then Ryerson), Fernando worked for the Ministry of the Environment.
Having a passion for flying, opportunities allowed Fernando to circle much of the world in small aircraft.
An avid and accomplished sailor, Fernando crossed the Atlantic and much of the coastline of Europe. Fernando cherished his farm near the Ganoraska Forest in Northumberland County for over three decades.
Fernando is survived by his two daughters, Natalie and Megan; grandchildren, Carter and Chloe; brother, Henry and his family. Special thanks to those who helped Fernando during his struggle with dementia: Diane Sander, Brian Wesbrook as well as the health care providers from Northumberland County.
A pragmatic man, Fernando requested his remains be donated for research.

ROBINSON, Hugh Nick Robinson
ROBINSON, Hugh Nick Robinson - It is with great sadness that I write to say that Nick passed away Friday July 26, 2024 at 12:25 PM in the Ajax Pickering Hospital.
Our lives are forever changed with the passing of this giving man.
In one sense there is no death.
The life of a soul on earth lasts beyond his departure and we will always feel his life touching ours.
We will hear his voice speaking to us and his spirit looking out of other eyes, ………he will be talking to us in the familiar things he touched, worked with and loved.
He lives on in our lives and in the lives of all who knew him.
We can’t feel saddened over the loss of those we love – without first remembering the joy of loving them.
The real sadness would have been never having them to love in the first place.
REMEMBRANCE is a journey we take back into a time that was, and our thoughts are the only ticket needed.
We who have loved are truly blessed!
Let the sunshine that Nick always projected fill your hearts.
Let him live on in all of us just as the sun greets us every day!
Arrangements entrusted to THORNTON FUNERAL CENTRE (1200 Thornton Road North, Oshawa, 905-579-6787). A Celebration of Nick’s life will take place at a later date.
