Condolence From: Joan Minnery - His Baby Girl
Condolence: Dad: You fought in the World War II, you fought on the vice squad in London England, you fought when you found out Anne had polio, you fought the sea, you fought the conditions, you fought to bring your family here to Canada, you fought in the trenches, you fought digging ditches, you fought when you helped form the CCF party, you fought for Civil Rights, you fought for the formation of the NDP party, you fought the bigots, you fought the backlash against the Unions, you fought for the working man to get them Unions, you fought for the betterment of hundreds of Union deals, you fought for the Wilson family when Paul died, you fought for them again when Aunt Pat died, you fought for US when Uncle Joe died, you fought for US as you found John, your own first born dead and you fought for mom when she came down with 3 bouts of cancer, you fought for your daughters, your sons and you most assuredly fought for ME when BJ's world came upside down when his Dad left us 6 weeks after John died. THAT moment you put your hand on my back and put the phone receiver down and told me to hold my back up straight....you fought WITH me. You've been a fighter your entire life....these tales are tidbits of the battles you have fought and won. NOW...the battle is over POPS. You are OUR hero and obviously have left a legacy behind of being the most noble of Gentleman with the Jovial spirit matching your amazing blue eyes. We now march on in YOUR honour. We will continue the fight. One foot in front of the other. Rest easy Dad...

Condolence: Deepest condolences to you Joan, and your family. You are who you are today because of the example your dad set for you. Hold him forever in your heart and hug yourself once in a while, for in doing so, you will also be hugging him.
An angel touched his shoulder
Whispered softly in his ear
Your time on earth is over
Your God beckons you near
Do not cry my precious one
Do not hesitate
For you will see the risen Son
At the Pearly Gate
Hugs to you and your loved ones...

Condolence From: Daughter Anne
Condolence: I remember when I look at my Dad, What it must have been like for him as a lad, I remember the stories he tells with such flare, Of the times, good and bad, that he used to share With his family and friends, with his workmates and chums, But there’s one time in his life, he shares with no-one.
When in his teens and preparing for life, He thought of the future, he thought of a wife, But before he could start to think of much more, He was called into service – the Second World War. He served in the Navy, with the Merchant Marines, Never telling of the horrors he’d seen.
For four years he sailed and battled and won Along with his comrades, a good job was done. They defeated the enemy, they silenced the foe, Once more the homeland could continue to grow. But those memories he keeps close to his vest, He shares with us only the badge on his chest. When War was over, he was filled with pride, To start life in Canada, family by his side. All year he would work, with his kids he would play, But he would set aside one special day, The day of remembrance, the one day alone To remember lost comrades, some names not even known.
Yes, I remember when I look at my Dad, What it must have been like for him as a lad, His gait has slowed now, he moves not so fast, But he still can recall those times in the past When he served his country and gave all that he had, He’s more than a hero – I call him my Dad!
