BISSON Daniel Noel Joseph Passed away peacefully on Saturday, March 27, 2021, with his close and endeared cousin, Florence Neville, by his side, Daniel Noel Joseph Bisson, age 73 (born December 23, 1947), from Welland, Ontario. "Our Dan" is predeceased by his mother Ellen Isabelle (Nellie Neville) Bisson, father Dennis Michael Bisson, Uncle Gilles Bisson, Uncle Andy Bisson, Uncle Guy Bisson, Uncle Yvon Bisson, Aunt Alice Bisson, Uncle Richard (Violet) Neville (and their daughter, cousin Kathleen Neville), Aunt Edna Neville, Aunt Kathleen (Donald) Doyle (and their son, cousin Glenn Doyle), Uncle Robert Neville, and baby cousin Neville Richard White. Leaving to celebrate his life are his loving sister Carol Ann (Basil) Della Valle, nephews David (Dawn) Della Valle (and their sons Michael Della Valle and Matthew Della Valle), Adam Della Valle and Brian (Signe) Della Valle, Aunt Wilma Bisson, cousins Gerry (Judy) Neville, Tom (Elaine) Neville, Vince (Dorothy) Neville, Rick (Jessie) Neville, Frances (Ed) Hearn, Steve Neville, Florence Neville, Randy (Rose) Neville, Ralph Doyle, Ross (Maureen) Doyle, Barbara Broom, Todd Bisson, Michael Bisson, John David Bisson, Raymond Begin, Dianne Begin, Lorraine Proulx, Lynn Proulx, Caroline Couldry, David Pare, Guy Jr. Bisson, Maurice Bisson, Nelson Bisson, Sherry Bisson, Shawn Bisson, and Bobby Bisson. Dan had numerous fond memories growing up. He spoke many times of all the fun he had with family at his grandfather's farm and all the games they played while staying at Uncle Gilles' and Aunt Wilma's summer cottage. Dan went on to spend a career working for the Dofasco Steel Mill as an Instrumentation Technician in Hamilton, Ontario. Throughout those years he appreciated his home life, growing his own tomatoes and flowers. He spent a good number of fun times with his nephews and cousins, whether it was swimming at his pool, visiting them or taking them for a ride on his ATV to his big piece of property. For Dan it was always the simple things in life that he savored, especially watching nature. Dan would marvel at the birds while feeding them, sometimes even mimicking their calls. Once he retired, Dan found a new niche when he re-connected with family in Newfoundland. Soon he was regarded as a close family member to his cousin Florence, her daughter Julia, son Justin (Lesley) Neville-White and grandchildren Hayley and Kelsey Rose. It was there that he rekindled a purpose and close relationship with another part of his family. From then on this kind-hearted soul would partake in many nature-loving activities which usually included helping animals, all at the much slower pace he relished so much. He continued his love for growing plants and flowers at home and enjoyed his trips to Quincy's Quarters. He liked watching hockey and will be forever remembered as "A HABS FAN". His sense of humor and storytelling will be forever loved and missed. Dan's cremation has taken place. There will be a visitation and celebration of his life at a later date. In lieu of flowers, if you wish, you may make a donation to the Canadian Cancer Society or the SPCA. To send a message of condolence please visit www.carnells.com

BRODERICK Winnifred Joan (Barbour) On Saturday, March 27th, Winnifred Joan Broderick passed away at home. She was 88 years of age. Winnie is pre-deceased by her husband William Broderick and her mother and father, Stella Barbour (Hill) and Edward Barbour. Her daughter Carol (Russell), and her son David (Jennifer) are deeply saddened by her passing. She will also be missed by her brothers Wayne (Molly), George, and Tom (Ruby), her sister Beatrice Schinagl (Franz), and her many cousins, nieces, nephews, and friends. Winnie (known informally as Nin) started working at CN Railway as a young lady fresh out of clerical school. While at CN she met many lifelong friends as well as her fortunate soon-to-be husband, Bill. Soon after marriage she and Bill settled down in a quiet St John's neighborhood and had two children to whom she devoted exceptional amounts of time, love, and wisdom. But this caring extended to all who knew her. Nin was viewed by many of her children's friends as a second mother, such was the tremendous kindness she displayed without the slightest effort. Of course, no description of Winnie would be complete without a nod to her inborn musical talent, as evidenced by her soft and beautiful singing voice as well as the delicate, moving way in which she could play the piano. As much as her love was felt by us, so too is her loss. But in the wake of that loss lies a better, more caring world for those who were lucky enough to know her. The family thanks the Community Health and Palliative Care teams for their compassion and help during Winnifred's illness. Extra special thanks to community nurse Lori Metcalfe and home support worker Destiny. Cremation has taken place. Visitation and a funeral service will be held at Carnell's this week, but due to COVID-19 restrictions, numbers are limited. If you would like to attend, please contact David or Carol.

BUTLAND Michael Welcomed into God's loving arms at the age of 93 years, Michael Butland of O'Donnell's, St. Mary's Bay. Leaving to mourn with a lifetime of loving memories, his wife of 68 years, Patricia (nee Daley); sons David (Wendy), Gerard (Helen), Kevin (Marlene) and Brian (Theresa); daughters Anne and Brenda Pike (Ed); grandchildren: Darrell, Dwayne, Brian, Sarah, Evan, Jeffrey, Cheryl, Kevin, Justin, Kerry, Rebecca and Andrew; great-grandchildren: Gavin, Daniel, Nathan, Douglas, Cody, Kaley, Riley and Jack; sisters-in-law: Mildred Butland, Clotilda Daley and Conchessa Daley, as well as many special nieces, nephews and dear friends. Predeceased by his parents Michael & Anastasia; siblings: Bridget, Sarah, Catherine, Marguerite, Laura, Stephen, Leo, Thomas, Dermot and Bernard. Michael was a man of many talents, whose creativity shone through in his love of building, art, cooking and baking. He was a master carpenter, whose great skill may be seen in the many homes and buildings he built from O'Donnell's to Mount Carmel and beyond. Before beginning his career as a Carpenter, Michael worked on the American base in Stephenville, operated a taxi to and from St. John's, fished for many years, and worked at Churchill Falls. There was nothing Michael loved more than sharing a home-cooked meal and a cup of tea with family and friends. No visit was complete without hearing one of the many stories from his childhood and adult years. Each of his children have been honored and blessed to be recipients of one of his many lovingly gifted paintings. Michael was hard-working and spent many days in the woods cutting firewood, bringing it home where he split and stored it. No job was too difficult for him and he remained active up to his 90's. Michael shared his unconditional love with his family. In his words, "When God gave me all of you, he gave me the best." We, his family, are blessed that God gave us the best husband and Dad; our love for Dad and our memories of him will live in our hearts forever. Heaven has received a special angel. The family would like to extend a special thank you to Father Steve Courtney, who offered comfort and prayer during this very difficult time. We express a heartfelt thank you to Community Health Nurse Ashley Careen, whose support and guidance has been immeasurable. Our sincere gratitude to Marlene Butland, who helped Dad through both the easy and difficult times while performing his home care with her deep love for Dad and his family, as well as Kevin Butland and Candace Hickey for their support with Dad's care during his final days at home. A special thank you to Theresa Butland and Joan Downey of Gibbons' Ambulance Service for their gentle and compassionate care of Dad on his last night at home. To the staff at the Palliative Care unit, we are thankful for the care, patience and expertise provided while making Dad comfortable and at ease during his final days. Thank you to George and Jean Gibbons and Josephine Squires of Gibbons' Funeral Home, for their respectful filling of Dad's final wishes during a time when there are so many restrictions in place. To all our family and friends: your prayers, messages, calls and meals did not go unnoticed and were appreciated beyond words. Due to the current COVID-19 restrictions, a private Mass and burial will be held. A celebration of Michael's life will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Good Shepherd Parish. To express condolences online, please visit our website at www.gibbonsfuneral.ca "In a world where heroes come and go, Well God just took the only one I know.

CAREEN Kevin Joseph Feb. 5, 1944 - March 10, 2021 On March 10, 2021, Kevin Joseph Careen took his last breath at the Health Sciences Centre in St. John's, surrounded by family. A devoted father, grandfather and brother, Kevin leaves behind his daughter Lynn (Nathan) Careen-Lahey, sons Evan (Jackie) Careen and Adam (Ashley) Careen, mother of his children Winnie, grandchildren Rowan Careen and Michael Clarke, his sister Madeline (Michael) McDonald, brothers, Clem (Karen) Careen, Tony (Michelle) Careen, Clarence (Judy) Careen, sisters-in-law Gertie and Bernadine, brothers-in-law Clem and Aloysious, many nephews and nieces and a large circle of relatives and friends. He was predeceased by his parents Lawrence and Elizabeth, brothers Milton, Edmund, and Allan, sisters Dorothy, Hanna, Ida and Rose. Kevin was born in Point Lance in 1944 and spent most of the 60s and 70s travelling, working and living across Canada, with stints in Labrador, Ontario and Manitoba, before returning home to raise a family. A born storyteller, he enjoyed regaling family and friends with tales of his many adventures and misadventures through the years. A great lover of hockey and politics, Kevin was always willing to discuss, and argue about, either topic at length, at any time or place. He found particular joy in being a grandfather, taking every opportunity to spend time with his granddaughter Rowan, the apple of his eye. Every school concert, ball game or recital, he was there to cheer her on, beaming with pride. Rowan will greatly miss the chats with her Poppy. A voracious reader and lover of puzzles, it was unusual to find Kevin without a book in his hand, whether it be a classic western or a collection of crosswords. Wherever he is, he's probably staring off in the distance, trying to figure out 42 down. Cremation has already taken place and a celebration of his life will take place in Point Lance at a later date. Donations in lieu of flowers can be made to Diabetes Canada.

Judy is predeceased by her parents Eric and Geraldine Hiscock; sisters-in-law, Madeline Bambrick and Joan Puddicombe; brothers-in-law Michael Frizzell, Henry Frizzell and Douglas Ralph; and niece and nephew Dana and Keith Frizzell. Adventurous and artistic, Judy was a traveller, walker, hiker, camper, skier, swimmer, painter, baker, avid reader, and musical theatre enthusiast who completed crosswords in ink. She was a loyal friend, social butterfly and the best "dance-" and "hockey-Nan" a grandkid could ask for. Judy was involved in art, swimming, book, and card clubs with friends and family who will surely miss her quiet, positive presence. A celebration of her life will take place at a later date when family and friends can gather safely.

Marge will be forever and fondly remembered for her love and care of her family, her love of a cup of coffee, or a trip to the cabin at Windmill Bight for a game of cards with her good friends, and singing loudly to George Jones, but what she truly loved the most was her family. We will continue to celebrate Marge's life in all the things she enjoyed: A walk on Cape Island Beach, her flower gardens in bloom every summer, and dinner every Sunday surrounded by her family. As one of her good friends said: All that's in my head is "He stopped loving her today" and those words now take on a different meaning because he will never stop loving her today, nor will I. Due to COVID restrictions, a private viewing for immediate family will take place, and in keeping with her wishes, she will be cremated and some of her ashes buried with her parents in New Wes Valley.

He had 2 birth certificates, one listing Burgeo as his place of birth and the other Rose Blanche. The family moved to Port aux Basques when his father Walter took a new teaching position, later becoming Mayor and then MHA for the district of LaPoile. After completing High School there Jim attended Memorial University where he graduated with a BA, B/Ed. One of his proudest accomplishments was completing the Officer Training Program and receiving his Commission in the Canadian Army. He is a long-time member of the Royal Canadian Legion. During the ensuing years Jim was Supervising Principal of several schools in the Stephenville area before becoming Principal of the new Integrated High School. He was President of the Stephenville Kinsmen Club, Founding President of the Stephenville Safety Council, Founding member of the Port aux Basques Kinsmen Club and an Executive member of the NL Teachers Association. In 1974 he retired from teaching and became co-owner and Editor of the Georgian newspaper.

He loved the people of the district and became good friends with many, including Emile Benoit, a talented fiddle player who honoured Jim by composing the Jim Hodder Reel which is still played by many local musicians. Jim was a consummate reader as evidenced by the number of books in his library. His love of history led him to volunteer as a board member of the Sir William Vaughan Trust. He enjoyed each of his visits to the Trepassey area where the Trust is involved in an archaeological dig. The family wishes to extend sincere thanks to the staff on VP3, Caribou Memorial Veterans Pavilion for the comfort and care provided to Jim over the last 3 years and the compassion shown to our family.

HOLLETT Thomas Edward Passed peacefully away on Friday, March 5, 2021, surrounded by his loving family, Thomas Edward Hollett, known to everyone who knew him as Ed. Predeceased by his father Snowden, mother Laura, and sister Lydia (Belle), father-in-law Austin and mother-in-law Jessie Collett, brother-in-law George Collett, and sisters-in-law Marie Upshall, Mollie Collett, and Passey Collett. Leaving to mourn his wife of 60 years, Madonna, son Edward and daughter-in-law Ann, daughter Nancy and partner Donnie, beloved grandchildren Philip and Emma Hollett, brothers-in-law Charlie Collett, Calvin Collett and wife Vera, Louis Collett, Frank Collett and wife Irene, and Ron Upshall, sisters-in-law Irene Penney and husband Dave, and Eileen Collett, special friend Cathy Dyke, and wide circles of family and friends. Ed loved whatever he did and threw himself into all of it with enthusiasm and with his wicked sense of humour. That's how people will remember Ed Hollett. Ed enjoyed a long career with the Department of Health in special assistance programs and transportation. For more than 30 years, he was a percussionist and drum major with the band of the Royal Newfoundland Regiment. He coached in the provincial public service hockey league for 25 years. He gave it all up in the 1990s and added golf to his list of favourite pass-times along with hunting, fishing, and bowling. Eventually, golf replaced them all. Ed played with a regular crowd but would pick up a round with anyone who needed to fill out a foursome. He wasn't particular, regaling the family with tales of who he'd played with that day. Ed loved his family most of all and showed it every day. With Madonna, Ed helped raise his grandchildren. To say he adored them would not do him justice. Together, Ed and Madonna also cared for his mother and sister and Madonna's parents until each of them passed away. Madonna did the same for Ed. Their love continues on. Ed's family is grateful for the care he received from the staff of Pleasantview Towers 4 North West. Their caring made the last years of his life as comfortable as possible. The medical and nursing staff of 4 South B, Health Sciences Centre made Ed's final hours peaceful and painless. He did not know them but their care in the midst of their hectic jobs greatly eased a family's grief. The family will arrange a celebration of Ed's life when times are better. Those who wish to do so may make a donation in Ed's memory to the Alzheimer's Society or the Royal Newfoundland Regiment Regimental Advisory Council.

KENNEY Robin Elizabeth (Kuehn) It is with fragile hearts that we announce the passing of the ever-loved Robin Elizabeth Kenny (nee Kuehn). Beginning her trip of a lifetime earlier than anticipated (aged 58), she departed peacefully in true Robin fashion, during the early hours of St. Patrick's Day (we all know that she loved to celebrate). At home surrounded by her mother, Sally Clouston Johnson, and daughters, Hannah Maggie and Leah Holly, it is safe to say that she was sent off with love. Born in Biloxi, Mississippi, throughout the years Robin made her way to St. John's, touching the lives of each person she encountered along the way. As her sister Deanna said, "Robin loved with her whole heart, gave the best hugs, and could out-laugh anyone." Robin has called many places "home" throughout her lifetime, and will be missed by many world-wide. Notability, in Halifax she leaves behind her brothers John Richard (Rosemary) Kuehn and David (Heather) Johnson; nieces Beth (Steven), Sarah and Laura; nephews Peter and Ben. Throughout the rest of Canada, she leaves behind her brother Darroch Johnson; sister Lois (Robert) Dejardins; aunt Donna Clouston; uncle Peter (Pearl) Clouston; nephews James, Paul (Natasha) and Chris; niece Alexis. South of the border, Robin leaves behind her father John Carl (Juanita) Kuehn; brothers Mike (Jennifer) Kuehn and Tim (Heidi) Kuehn; sister Deanna (Cris) Duncan; aunt Sylvia (Robert) Bean; uncles Edwin Kuehn and Richard Kuehn; nieces Elizabeth and Ashley; nephews Dylan, Keegan and Karter. Robin also leaves behind cousins all over, notability Cindy Clouston, Donald Clouston, Robert Bean, Laura Yu, and Christina Bean. She leaves behind many special friends; her best friends and kindred spirits, Joseph Bourgeois and Paula Giovannini; good friends Roma Robinson, Peter Ivany, Phonse Barry and Tim Froude. Robin is predeceased by her step-father Paul Johnson, sister Heather Johnson and niece Dianna Johnson. Thank-you to all of the health-care professionals who assisted Robin and her family throughout the course of her illness. Although the COVID-19 pandemic prevents us from currently gathering, it is our hopes that sometime soon we will be able to properly celebrate her life. In honour of Robin, you can buy yourself a pair of shoes (in every colour if you really like them), dance around your kitchen to ABBA, or donate to Pancreatic Cancer Canada (PCC).

LEARNING SR. Kevin J. 1932 - 2021 Our family is saddened to announce the passing of Kevin J. Learning Sr. on Friday, March 12. Kevin is survived by his wife of 50 years, Pauline; brother, Patrick and family; McCarthy siblings, White siblings, Kevin's 8 living children, 11 grandchildren, 13 great grandchildren, his very close friends and relatives, nieces, nephews, cousins and in-laws, the Carbonneau's, the Reddy's, the Whiteway/King's, the Whelan/Stewart's, the Robbin's, the Butts/Dwyer's, the Prince's, the Hiscock's, the Campbell's, the Sawler's, the Devereaux's, and the Gibson's. Kevin was predeceased by both his adoptive and biological parents, his adopted sister, Margaret, first wife, Frances, one son, Peter, his great granddaughter, Aleigha, and his best friends, Frank Whelan (Muk) and Wallace Robbins (Wally). Dad was a very strong man, very knowledgeable, friendly, a friend to many, funny, the life of the party, most favorite Poppa, adventurer and traveler, Reverend, truck driver, boxer and entrepreneur. He was very proud to be a Veteran of the Korean War. Dad enlisted with the Canadian Army in St. John's, NFLD in 1951 when the Royal Canadian Engineer Field Squadrons were being formed. He was part of the 4th field squadron and served alongside the PPCLI. He would remove Chinese mines from a minefield in the dark of night to make a safe path for the PPCLI to pass through the field in order to advance. During his time in Korea, a fellow soldier caught a young boy stealing. The soldier was bringing the boy into the woods to execute him. Dad yelled out "Let the kid go!" The boy who was about 12 years old and was crying aloud like he knew what was going to happen to him in the woods. Dad yelled out again and the soldier stopped, looked at dad and then let the boy go. Dad saved that little boy's life. Dad did not know the boy but hoped that he had grown up and had a family of his own. Dad's presence is greatly missed by everyone who had the privilege of knowing him. Dad was loving and so much fun that there was never a dull moment when he was around. He loved hugs and a good conversation or debate. He loved telling stories of history, the books he was currently reading and stories about his life experiences. Most importantly, his family meant everything to him. A special thanks to Rena and the McCarthy family, to Captain John Legge and Major Mark Bossi, Vanessa as well as all of the personnel at the Royal Canadian Legion, and to the Veterans who performed The Last Post. A special thank you to all of our family and friends who have given flowers and sent condolences.

Always to be remembered for his love of life and family, Tony, as he was known to most, will be deeply missed by so many people.

He worked for CN on the "coastal boats" for a time, before becoming the owner & operator of Quidi Vidi Confectionary, where he was a well-known part of East End life for over 20 years.

Many will remember a forgotten "tab" at the store or being handed a pair of mitts or a hat on a cold day when they were without. He leaves, comforted by many wonderful memories, his devoted wife of 54 years, Margaret, daughter Patti, son-in-law Jerry Bannister and his two grandsons, Peter and Ryan, of whom he was so very proud.

THOMPSON Mary August 5, 1936 - March 1, 2021 It is with heavy hearts we announce the passing of Mary Constance (Royle) Thompson who died peacefully at Kenny's Pond Retirement Residence on March 1st. Born in St. John's in 1936, Mary grew up in a loving family with parents George and Bridget and her three adoring brothers John, Bob, and Pat who have remained so close all these years.If there was a match made in heaven, it came to life when Mary met and later married the love of her life, Douglas Thompson in 1958, who together would go on to raise five children in a happy home on Linden Place. Those hectic days offer so many precious memories largely as a result of Mary's devotion to family, including her genuine qualities to heal, comfort, encourage, and laugh. Time with family was always her priority, which often included her "extended" family made up of her children's friends; regulars at Linden Place, who were always made to feel at home. Mary and Doug also cherished their own many great friendships over the years, all of whom filled our house with stories and laughter on countless occasions. Included is the Friday night card games with the Collins and Powers which went on for over 40 years without hardly missing a beat. Also are fond memories of fun and laughter with decades old friends the O'Gradys, Waddens and so many others through the years. Later in life as her children moved out (and some away) Mary's insuperable bond with us all made it impossible to move too far from the nest or leave it for very long. She was the glue to keep us all tightly connected. This was the start of frequent visits and the annual Thompson reunion which brought the clan together for memories that can never be forgotten. That bond only strengthened with the arrival of Mary's grandchildren who she loved dearly and loved being around. Mary had a truly special way about her which made everyone around her feel comforted and better about themselves. Her grandchildren would constantly remark about the way she greeted those she came into contact with….it was always "my darling", "my love" or "God love ya". She had such a gentle soul and was always worried more about other people than herself. Her great outlook on life and constant smile was infectious to all of us. So "God love ya", Mary Thompson ….(and we know he does), as you have left behind a legacy of love, family, and kindness that will be remembered always. Mary is predeceased by husband Douglas (2017) and leaves to mourn children Anne (John), Michael (Susan), Douglas (Li), Danny (Bernie), and John (Sandy) along with grandchildren Katie, Sarah, Jonathan, Jack, Christopher, Laura, Patrick, Daniel, William and her brothers John (Marjory, dec.), Bob (Diane) and Pat (Therese). Mary will also be dearly missed by her many nieces, nephews, and close friends. She is resting at Carnell's Funeral Home for on-line visitation only. A celebration of her life for all the goodness Mary brought to the world will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, please buy a bouquet for yourself or a loved one and think of our Mom who would so like you to enjoy their beauty. Or simply cherish those around you with kindness and compassion as our Mother always did. The family would like to extend heartfelt appreciation for the incredible caregivers at Kenny's Pond who have cared for Mom like family over the past several years.

WINDSOR Douglas Haig June 23, 1924 - March 2, 2021 Passed peacefully away at St Patrick's Mercy Home in his 97th year. Doug was a long-time resident of Ferryland, formerly of St. John's. A WWII Royal Canadian Air Force Veteran and graduate of Bishops Feild School (St. John's) class of 1940 and a proud "Feildian". A lifetime honourary member of the Avalon Masonic Lodge. Pre-deceased by his Father, Stan, (1945) a WW1 Royal Newfoundland Regiment Blue Puttee, his Mother, Mary (Farries), (1985) war bride of Hawick, Scotland. Brothers: Bill (1942) WWII Caribou Disaster and Frank (2018). Sisters: Jess (Tom Goodyear), Sarah (John Finn), Jean (Max Hayre) and nephew Johnny Finn. Leaving to mourn: Brother, Stan (Barb),Tillsonburg, Ontario and Sister-In-Law, Jeanette Windsor, who resided with him and was a big part of his care at home in Ferryland. His nieces and nephews and their families throughout Canada, whom he loved and looked forward to visiting and spending time with: Bill, Geoff, Jennifer; Chris, Elizabeth; Doug, Bill, David; Ken, Nancy, Bill, Andrew; Kim, Debbie, Stan. This past year, with COVID-19 travel restrictions in place, his nephew, Ken Windsor (Annette), represented all those living outside the province who would have loved to come and see Doug. Family was very important to Doug and his visits and games of crib with Ken were enjoyed so much. Doug will be dearly missed by the Curran Family of Sunny Hill: Wilf, Janet, Chris, Heather, John, their spouses, children and grandchildren, who all loved him like a grandfather and made sure that he was part of every family gathering. Doug loved children, always making time for them and making each one feel special. In turn, he was special to each of them. He will be forever loved by all the "little ones" near and far who touched his heart and made him smile. Doug was a gentleman; he loved a Friday night party with music and good cheer. Although more recently his age prevented him from being the last one to leave such gatherings, he always made an appearance and ended his night with a little song to entertain the crowd. Doug loved to go "up the shore" for an afternoon drive. Thank you to Kenneth Hynes, his constant companion and friend for making that trip with him so many times. The nightly visits, friendship and being there at a moments' notice when called meant so much to Doug and to us, his family. Kenneth, you were a blessing to Doug and the reason he was able to stay in his own home for so long. Doug will be missed by his caregivers Jeanie Swain, Jill Walsh and Sandy O'Brien, his Sunny Hill neighbours, many friends and Aquaforte family. Thank you to Diane Costello and the staff of Quality Home Care; Dan, Katie and staff at Baltimore Pharmacy; Eastern Health Professionals, especially Mary and Michelle Rossiter; Shamrock Medical Clinic staff, Dr. Peter Morry and staff of 4 East at St. Patrick's Mercy Home.
