  • Doug MacIntosh lit a candle on 07/31/2016:
    "My Uncle Ferg was always a delight. As a child on our long car trips to the maritimes, the anticipation of visiting him was exciting. He was jovial and paid attention to us kids. Then as a young adult with friends I felt encouraged to visit. Once with a crowd of 6 friends on 3 motorcycles, Ferg and Barb welcomed us into their Dartmouth home and insisted we take the beetle car to an evening performance we were interested in. Ferg stimulated my interest in science as a Uof T student. I feel great fondness for both Ferg and Barb, and a sadness that an era has passed."

  • Christine Donohue lit a candle on 07/13/2016:
    "We are so very sorry for your loss. May your dad and mom be joined again in heaven. May your memories keep them close at heart."
