AS I SIT IN HEAVEN
As I sit in heaven
and watch you everyday
I try to let you know with signs
I never went away
I hear you when you’re laughing
And watch you as you sleep
I even place my arms around you
To calm you while you weep
I see you wish the days away
Begging to have me home
So I try to send you signs
So you know you are not alone
Don’t feel guilty that you have
Life that was denied to me
Heaven is truly beautiful
Just you wait and see
So live your life, laugh again
Enjoy yourself, be free
Then I know with every breath you take
You’ll be taking one for me

I’m Free
I am free Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free, I'm following paths God made for me I took his hand I heard him call Then turned, and bid farewell to all I could not stay another day To laugh, to love, to sing, to play Tasks left undone must stay that way I found my peace... at close of play And if my parting left a void Then fill it with remembered joy A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss Ah yes, these things I too will miss. Be not burdened... deep with sorrow I wish you sunshine of tomorrow My life's been full I've savoured much Good friends, good times A loved one's touch Perhaps my time seemed all too brief Don't lengthen it now with grief Lift up your hearts and share with me, God wants me now... He set me free.

I have no idea how to convey how I feel but here goes:
Goodbye to my first mentor, goodbye to my first hockey coach, goodbye to my first friend, goodbye to my first driving instructor, goodbye to the person I tried very hard to become in my own life. If only I am half the father to my daughter you were to me I'm sure I will be excellent at it. Farewell Dad, Rest easy Sir.

For Dad
Brian, Mom and I would like to extend our gratitude to all of you for coming to celebrate the GEM that was our Father, by using his famous words - "Mercy - that's French for thank you".
I don't know one person who doesn't love our Dad. And if you think you MIGHT know someone who doesn't love and admire him ... don't tell me, because I wont believe it anyway.
The sentiment that keeps showing up in all the messages to the Family are that he was such a kind man, a gentle man, he was sweet and a great sense of humour. And all of those things he was.
Dad loves Canada Geese, The Toronto Maple Leafs, my Mom, Brian and I, Breanna, Brayden and Emily. He loved Floyd and loved Kim and he loved a glass of rum or whiskey. But, not necessarily in that order!
He loved each of his brothers and sisters, Hank Williams, molasses bread, fish and brewis, jam and toast and a good chat. He loved candies! Especially jujubes!
He was simple, kind, honest and hardworking. He was a GREAT listener. He taught Brian and I both, by example. He was a good provider and a good joke teller and a great...and sometimes repetitive...story teller!
He was the smartest person I know.
He had the softest hands.
Mom, Gladys was his best friend and they did everything together. She stood by his side for over 60 years and layed by his side in his final moments. He knew how much he was loved and he loved her just as much. The love and respect they had for each other was unparalleled.
He was so proud of his Grandchildren. He loved Emilys spunk, her red hair and the fact that she corrected him! Like when she was 5, he took her for a walk on the beach in Glenburnie and said "look at all the seaweed Emily". She said, "actually Poppy, that's KELP".
He loved watching Brayden play hockey and he was over the moon when he got accepted to Law School He was definitely Poppys little man. He'd be happy to know that Brayden has taken over the role of family 'pick' and comedian! Rest easy Dad, your legacy continues!
He was so happy for Breanna's accomplishments and loved chatting with her about her thirst for education. She was his first Grandchild and Pops Girl. When I gave birth to her, Dad came to the hospital and hugged me and thanked me for making him a Grandfather.
I am so thankful that Dad got to meet Breannas awesome husband Jack, and he would have been ecstatic to know that Breanna was going to make him a Great Grandfather in April. Oh, and he would have been Great.
He loved talking to Brian about so many things, including his work and hockey. Loved having a whisky and a chat with Floyd and talking to me about my kids. But more importantly, he always asked "how are YOU doing?" And more importantly that THAT, he really listened to your answer.
No matter what the kids told him they wanted to do or were applying for or trying for, he would always say "you'll do it", "you'll get it" , "i know you will". He was our biggest fan and genuinely happy to see us all do well.
He prayed for us all at night and cheered us on in the day.
He was a gentleman. He always made me walk on the inside of the road.
He was the first man I ever loved.
He wasn't perfect, but I'll still argue to the contrary. He did the best he could and he tried hard. He got better with age. He was SO funny, the funniest person I know. He had a devilish twinkle in his eye...and a raised eyebrow that spoke volumes! I'll miss that mischievious grin and his beautiful blue eyes.
When Dad took a turn for the worst last week I prayed he wouldn't go on Christmas Day. I thought that would be a sad, sad memory every year. And it will. But, the more I think about it, I realized that he was such a special, special man, that God had to choose the most special day to take him to Heaven. Walk in Heaven Dad, knowing how much you were loved.
I will leave you with the 5 words that Dad said to us every night on his way to bed, or before hanging up the phone after our chats in the evenings.
Good Night and God Bless.

Christmas Day was a bittersweet one for us.
I am so blessed to have such an amazing family - especially around the holidays.
But yesterday, we lost a very special person who will forever remain in our hearts and memories, especially around Christmas.
My poppy was an amazing man — anyone who has ever had the pleasure to meet him in the 80+ years he has graced earth with his presence will surely tell you that he was one of the kindest, smartest and funniest people you could ever meet.
He was a walking encyclopedia who could make anyone laugh with a story or a “Nish-ism”. He doted on his kids and grandkids - and anyone we brought around became surrogate grandkids too.
I know it’s cliche, but heaven truly gained an angel. I choose to remember and celebrate the time we had together, and the wisdom he has imparted on me will be with my for the rest of my life.
We are of course devastated by his loss, but comforted knowing he was and is one of the most loved people on the planet. Pictures cannot capture his spirit or do him justice, but here are a few of my favourite that make me smile.
Rest easy and in peace, poppy. You are loved

I don't think it set in until I saw this.
You're really gone. With a broken and aching heart, we all say our goodbyes to your life here on earth.
Though I may never hear your voice, or laugh again, I know your love never ends.
Though your body is gone, your soul offers me comfort and I know you're watching over me.
I love you Poppy. You are the greatest grandad I could've ever asked for.
Rest now. You worked so hard.
Love your granddaughter,
Em

Growing up I was fortunate to have a very close relationship with my Grandparents. Although they have mostly lived in NL, they spent the majority of winters with us here. Every Christmas, they would drive from NL to Ontario and surprise us on a random day by appearing at the front door! Although it happened every year, my sister and I never knew when they would appear - we just knew that they'd be here in time for Christmas.
Christmas Day this year was a hard one for my family, as we lost my Poppy. My sister eloquently said a few days ago that "we are of course devastated by his loss, but we are comforted knowing he was one of the most loved people on the planet". These words cannot be any more true. Granted we are mourning, we are also celebrating the incredible life he had alongside the many people he has touched. Until we meet again, Poppy, know you are loved. Rest peacefully.

Our beloved Nish, you will always remain a wonderful and true friend to both of us.
John- your English brother - will never forget all of the adventures while working together at Neilsons.
Your sense of humour was lovely and we always enjoyed being in your company. Your funny stories brought much laughter, which we will always treasure.
We are honoured to have been your special friends and we will continue to cherish all of the special memories that we shared together.
Heaven has gained a unique human being.
Love always,

I have many wonderful memories of Nish. I have always felt safe, welcome and loved when I was in Nish and Gladys’ home. Their home has always been my home away from home ❤️ He was a kind and gentle man and he will be missed.
Death separates us from the physical presence of those we love, but it does not - it cannot - separate us from the love itself. We continue to love even as we grieve. We will keep loving until our last breath - and who knows, perhaps beyond. (Alan D. Wolfelt, Ph.D.)

Nish was a great Bro in Law. When I joined the family ( I married Gladys’ brother, Richard) he warmly welcomed me.
He was a kind soul, humorous & always had a witty saying or joke.
Over the years we shared many memories but one especially stands out. We decided to take a Mediterranean cruise. He wasn’t too keen on flying but overcame the feelings he had n went for it. What an amazing trip we had making more memories.
You will be missed. Love you
