It is with great sadness we announce the sudden passing of Robert William (Bob) Smale on Tuesday, January 3rd, 2023 at the age of 90. Bob was born in London, Ontario to parents Ellen (Nellie) Smale and William (Bill) Smale. He is survived by his loving wife Sharon (née Sinden) of 45 years and three beautiful daughters from this union. Andrea (Jacob); Janet (Marc) and Leslie (Nick). In a previous marriage to Patricia (deceased), Bob fathered four daughters. Karen (David) Linda; Marie (John) and Julie (Jim). As a result of bringing all these lovely women into the world he leaves behind 9 grandchildren and 3 great grandchildren (7 boys and 5 girls and so Mother Nature evens things out) and became a loving Grandpa to all of them. Bob was predeceased by his sister Annabelle and has a younger brother Jim living in London, Ontario.

Bob grew up in Mt Brydges, Ontario and as a young man worked in several places including various tobacco farms and an ice cream parlour from which he would laughingly tell of his dismissal because of serving too much ice cream to his friends! He went on to work with Bell Canada installing transfer stations throughout southern Ontario and other locations in Canada; drove a school bus (where he stopped traffic both ways on the QEW!); managed several gas stations on the QE near Fruitland, Burlington, and Bronte Rd. for a number of years. He finally moved on to Ford Motor Company where he started first in warranties and then found his niche in parts sales, where he became top parts salesman in Ontario. Following more than 25 years with Ford he retired but continued his sales career selling floor finishes; Terra Cotta Cookies to GTA schools and finally driving shuttle buses for nearby car dealerships.

Eventually, he truly retired and spent time in his vegetable garden and with his grandchildren and tinkering with projects, something he had done all his life. He was very interested and knowledgeable about cars, airplanes, and aviation history, stamp and coin collecting, and took great pleasure in furthering his knowledge as a history buff. Bob was a long-standing and dedicated member of the Streetsville Lions Club, Streetsville Probus, and the Streetsville Horticultural Society enjoying the camaraderie of all of them. A supportive member of the community, he was well known for his witty personality, his many jokes, and his ability to converse with almost anyone about almost anything. He will be sadly missed by all.

A Celebration of Life truly in Bob's style to take place Saturday, February 11 in Heritage Hall at Streetsville United Church, 274 Queen Street S. Streetsville.

Our family would be delighted to have you drop in between 1:30 and 4:30 to share happy thoughts, laughter, and memories which Bob would have loved. We will have a short "formal" recognition at about 2:00

In lieu of flowers, donations would be gratefully received by the Streetsville Lions Club and put to very good use. Please note they are a non-registered charity. Cheques can be sent to:

We lament the passing of Fr. Thomas Charles O’Toole, SFM, who died on Friday, November 18, 2022, at 2:25 pm, at Presentation Manor, Scarborough, Ontario. He was 95 years of age.

Born in Toronto, Ontario, on October 3, 1927, Fr. Tom was the son of John Joseph and Adeline (nee Boylan) O'Toole, and stepmother Mary Eva (nee Sullivan) O’Toole. He had an older brother, Lawrence, who died in childhood, and one sister, Jane, as well as three stepbrothers, John Harding, Rev. Thomas Robert Harding, and Rev. William Harding.

Fr. Tom attended St. James Separate School (1934–1938), St. Vincent de Paul Separate School (1938–1939), the Cathedral Choir School (1940) and St. Michael's High School (1941-1946). He entered Scarboro Missions’ Novitiate in 1948 and studied at St. Francis Xavier Seminary (1948-55). He was ordained to the priesthood for Scarboro Missions on December 8, 1954, at St. Ann’s Church in Toronto, by Bishop Kenneth Turner, SFM.

After his ordination, Fr. Tom was appointed to mission in Japan where his initial two years were dedicated to studying Japanese in language school (1955-57). He then served in various parishes, first as curate (1957-58) and as pastor (1958-59) in Ichinomiya; and as pastor in Fukuoka (1959-63); Kawatana (1963-69), and Mizunami (1970-76).

Serving as a missionary in a country where the majority of people are Shinto or Buddhist, and less than 2% are of the Christian faith is challenging. Fr. Tom was very involved in the Lions Club as an opportunity to meet people outside the church. In a 1969 issue of Scarboro Missions magazine, he wrote: “The basic principles of the Lions Club are Christian, and if I can help by my cooperation and show a genuine willingness to help the community with my limited experience and knowledge, my membership in the Lions and genuine Christian witness are one.”

Returning to Canada, Fr. Tom worked for two terms as Director of Scarboro Missions’ Promotion Department (1977-82) and then took a sabbatical year in 1983, participating in the Maryknoll Mission Renewal Program.

Fr. Tom returned to Japan to serve at St. Mary's International School in Tokyo (1984-1988), ending 24 years of service in Japan.

In Canada, Fr. Tom was appointed Treasurer General of the Society for two terms (1989-1996). He retired from administrative duties in 1997 and went to live at Fraser Acres, Scarboro Missions’ rural house in Omemee, Ontario, as house coordinator.

Like many Scarboro missioners who had served in Japan, Fr. Tom accompanied the Toronto Japanese Catholic Community as chaplain for many years. The group gathered once a month at Scarboro Missions to celebrate mass in Japanese and then enjoy dinner together.

Fr. Tom will be remembered for his kindness and steadfastness, for his ironic wit, for his love of a ‘wee dram’ of whiskey at the end of the day and for his deep enjoyment of rural life at Fraser Acres.

Fr. Tom is predeceased by his parents and stepmother, his brother Lawrence O’Toole and stepbrothers John Harding, Rev. Thomas Robert Harding and Rev. William Harding. He is survived by his sister Jane (late Harold) Bowen and her five daughters, Ann Marie (Dennis) Cordotta, Elaine Bowen, Frances (Leonard) Daigle, Catherine (Greg) O’Leary, Maureen Bowen, two grandnephews, two grandnieces, and two great-grandnieces.

We wish to express our sincere thanks to the staff of Presentation Manor and Canadian Religious Stewardship for their compassionate care for Fr. Tom over the past years. May God bless you in your health ministry of comforting the sick.

The Mass of the Resurrection will be held on Friday, November 25, 2022, at 10:30 am at Presentation Manor Senior Living Chapel, 61 Fairfax Crescent, Scarborough, Ontario. Following the Mass there will be an Interment at Mount Hope Cemetery, 305 Erskine Ave., in Toronto.

John Spence Stewart, 75, passed peacefully surrounded by the love of his family.

John's life was filled with achievement, kindness, and a sense of humour; he always had a sparkle in his eyes. John was a Principal and Special Education teacher in the correctional system, working in juvenile, minimum and maximum security environments. He always said he studied history so he could teach math and English. He was known for his ability with numbers. Give him any combination and he would come up with the correct answer in seconds.

John was also an avid reader with bookcases in his home filled with books covering everything from history to murder mysteries, biographies and more. He loved a variety of music but his favourites were rock n'roll, blues and jazz. John loved golfing and you could be sure if there was a tree around, his golf ball would find it.

John could often be found walking or biking around Ancaster, and he enjoyed having coffee with friends. He learned to downhill ski later in life and even though he insisted he had two left feet, he skied the highest of hills at Whistler and Blackcomb with minimal crashes.

John was a long time member of the Ancaster Lions and was always willing to lend a hand. He was a loving husband, father, step-father, grandfather, brother, brother-in-law, uncle and friend. Those who knew him will remember him for his kind heart, sense of humour and willingness to help. He was one of a kind and will be dearly missed.

A Celebration of John's life will be held at a later date. For now, anyone who wishes may make a donation to the Lions Foundation of Canada, Covenant House Toronto or a charity of their choice. Arrangements entrusted to Dodsworth & Brown Funeral Home, Ancaster

Great-grandchildren Nathan, Makala and Jacob. As well as many nieces, nephews, and in-laws.

Reg met the love of his life, Margaret Torrance, in 1948 and they were married June 30, 1951. They settled into a house that was built on part of the farm which was sold shortly after they were married.

Reg was born on February 6, 1929 to a market gardening family in Aldershot across from East Plains United church. He and his five siblings were close in age and grew up to stay close over the years. He and his brother Henry took over the family business and changed the fruit market over to a garden centre adding more greenhouses. In time, with the new large corporate garden centres opening and with no room to expand, they sold the property. The family, for many years, operated a stand on the Hamilton Central market and the Centre Mall market. Reg and his brother Henry stopped attending those markets at the end of 1981. In 1982, Reg obtained his real estate licence and enjoyed a successful twenty-year career as a realtor retiring when was 72.

Reg felt that if you joined an organization that you should become involved. He is a life member of the Aldershot Lions club having served in nearly all positions over the years. He was a tour guide at the Canadian Warplane Museum for 25 years, loving all the old aircraft. In 2002, he was named Burlington's Citizen of the year and received the Queen's Jubilee Medal for his years of community service. As a member of the Aldershot community council, he ran a yearly Historic bus tour of Aldershot, and Reg was the commentator during the tours. He enjoyed this as he could remember all the farms that were long gone.

Reg loved his gardens and won several Rose Awards from the City of Burlington. In 2017, both Marg and Reg were jointly given the honour of being named to the Aldershot Community Honor roll. Marg and Reg loved swimming and had a back yard pool for many years. One fall Marg suggested that they take up scuba diving. They both obtained their scuba licences and enjoyed many years of diving in both the Caribbean and Georgian Bay. Starting in 1976 with a trip to Hawaii, they travelled every year after, starting with a trailer travelling Canada coast to coast. They travelled the UK, the US and Europe, and took several cruises.

The family would like to thank all the medical staff at Joseph Brant Hospital who cared for dad. With special thanks to Dr. Mills, Amanda Wong and Nurse Kim. In lieu of flowers, kindly consider a donation to The Aldershot Lions Club or The Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum. Cremation has taken place.

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Roland Victor Carryl, at Scarborough General Hospital on Wednesday March 9, 2022, with his family by his bedside. Beloved husband of Mrs. Audrey Carryl (nee McGowan). Loved and missed by his daughter Simone A. Goring (Jeremy), son Kenan (Sylvia), and grandchildren Elianna and Nylah.

Roland was born on August 14, 1940, in Georgetown, Guyana to David Apollos Carryl and Roslyn Leshmere Carryl (nee Isaacs). As the son of a Post-Master, Roland experienced the beauty of Guyana, travelling to various parts of the country when his father was assigned to a new work location. He enjoyed sharing stories of the adventures Guyana had to offer, from its lush rainforests, stunning waterfalls and vast river systems, delicious cuisine, cultural festivals, and the myriad of fond moments spent with friends and loved ones. In his youth, Roland attended Queens College, which was then a renowned all boys high school in the heart of Georgetown where he developed life-long friendships and received a quality education under the tutelage of some of the best educators in the country. He was a strong athlete in track and field and enjoyed the fun and exhilaration of playing cricket with his classmates.

In his twenties, Roland attended Teacher’s College and embarked upon a brief time teaching elementary school children. Just days before his passing, Roland recalled this time in life stating he enjoyed watching the children learn and develop.

In the early 1970s, Roland immigrated to Canada where he met his future wife, Audrey Rosalind McGowan at a social gathering. The pair married in 1973 and produced two children, Kenan Ellard Carryl, born November 28, 1976, and Simone Alison Carryl, born August 27, 1980.

Roland graduated from York University in 1982, earning a bachelor’s degree in Business Administration. After working for The Wellesley Hospital in Food Services in addition to other employers, Roland embarked upon a lengthy career with the Federal Public Service in various positions, until his retirement from the Federal Court of Canada as a Registrar.

Roland’s love of photography and passion for African history were among his favourite past-times that he shared with family and friends. As a member of the Toronto Kaiteur Lions Club (Lions Club International), Roland made significant impacts dedicating his time for the purpose of humanitarian service primarily in Toronto and Guyana. Community service activities Roland was involved with included: fundraising to support patients in travelling from Guyana to Canada for urgent medical care, assistance to improve the circumstances of Toronto’s homeless population and those at risk of becoming homeless, Meals on Wheels for seniors, and the annual Christmas party at HR Lawson Children’s Respite Service.

Roland was an active member of The Lions Club for 30 years commencing in 1991. After serving as the club's first Secretary for two years he went on to being Vice President and eventually the club's sixth President in 1996/1997. Lion Roland returned as Secretary for seven consecutive years from 2002 to 2009 and was again elected as President in 2013/2014. He remained on the Board of Directors for over twenty consecutive years and was one of the main participants in the club's Meals on Wheels program with Trans Care for over twenty-five years. Lion Roland also conducted The Lions' Memorial Service at many District Conventions.

Suddenly, as a result of a snowmobile accident on Lake Joseph, on Saturday February 26, 2022, Bill passed from this life at 63 years of age. Cherished husband of Joan Taylor (nee. Whiting). Loving father of Mark (Melanie) and Julie. Forever cherished son of Kay Taylor and the late Bob Taylor. Forever remembered brother of Janice Uhlig (Mark), Brian (Krista) and Joanne McQuiggan. Loved brother-in-law of Debbie Bolton (Dave) and Catherine Horsfall (Robin). He will be dearly missed by many nieces, nephews, extended family and friends.

Bill was the proud Owner/Operator of Mobile Facilities Inc. His business afforded him the opportunity to see the world but his 'Happy Place' was at the cottage on Little Whitefish Lake in the Muskoka’s.

Bill was an active member of the Waterdown Lions club.

Friends will be welcomed at the DWAYNE D. BUDGELL Funeral Home, 1105 Rest Acres Road, on Sunday March 6, 2022 from 7 - 9 p.m. Funeral Service will be held in the Funeral Home Chapel on Monday March 7, 2022 at 1 p.m..

In Bill's memory, donations to the Heart & Stroke Foundation or the Alzheimer's Society would be appreciated by the family.

It is with great sadness, that the family announces the loss of an incredible person. Bill passed away peacefully at home, surrounded by his loved ones. Creating a wonderful life for 60 years with his loving wife and best friend Dianne (nee Beninger), they faced his 13 years of cancer with fierce optimism together. Born in Toronto and raised in London Ontario, an only child to Keith and Wilhelmine (Billie) Ferris, he was adored. He is cherished by his children; Janice Ferris Quade (Jeff Bartlett), Brian (France Léveillé) and Andrew (Judy Kallaghe); grandchildren; Benjamin (Katelyn), Joshua, Marc-André (Véronique), Alexandre, Jean-François (Mélanie), Justice and Mia, and great-grandchildren; Remington, River and a baby girl arriving soon.

In his youth, Bill enjoyed team sports such as football and hockey, playing in the police band and selling men’s clothing at Eaton Department store.

ill graduated from Wayne State University (Michigan) and University of Toronto, moving to Burlington to start his teaching career in business with Hamilton City School Board in 1967. Through these years he created many lifelong friendships that shaped his professional and personal experiences.

At Camp Otterdale he co-directed 200 campers for 12 summers, providing so many opportunities for his children to experience camp life.

From 1983 to 1986 he moved his family and taught in Baden-Soellingen, travelled extensively throughout Europe, volunteering with the radio station, skiing, playing the clarinet with the Baden Rube Band, volksmarching and experiencing the German lifestyle of beer and bratwurst.

The Burlington Top Hat Band rejuvenated his passion for the clarinet and he spent many joyful years with a longtime friend marching in parades. He was a member of the Burlington Aldershot Lions Club and participated in many community projects. Bill was a lifelong member of the Burlington Legion. He also spent weekends with the Halton Outdoor Club hiking and cross-country skiing.

After occupying different positions in the school board through the years, including high school teacher, department head, vice-principal and work at the board office in asbestos abatement, Bill retired in 1998 and he launched into a ‘second career’.

Volunteering with Red Cross for 25 years saw him aiding in disasters across North America including 9-11 attacks in New York City, flooding in New Orleans, Mississippi River floods, refugees from Kosovo, fires in Alberta, evacuations from Northern Ontario, ice storms across Ontario, and mud slides in Costa Rica. He was also instrumental in implementing a Detention Monitoring Program. In recognition of his extraordinary contributions made to humanitarian work, he was awarded the Order of the Red Cross.

Dianne and Bill are grateful to have spent many winters of retirement on Jekyll Island GA, biking, enjoying potluck suppers and game night with friends, and walking their dog Austin. The summers were spent teaching English and traveling through China. Spring and fall included camping in Algonquin Park and visiting friends across Canada. Their explorations included several cruises and vacations around the world. Bill loved experiencing the culture, food and language of the places he visited, often creating new friendships.

Dad continued his love of sports by watching the Leafs and Raptors and enjoyed maintaining a beautiful lawn and garden. He was well organized with files and labels; something he was teased for, but we appreciated that he always knew where to find stuff.

Bill had a special quality to bring out the best in others, helping them to see their strengths and potential. He wanted to assist and make life better for others. He made a positive impact on so many people’s lives as a husband, father, teacher, volunteer and friend. His selfless contribution was again recognized by receiving the Queens Jubilee Award (twice), and the Senior Achievement Award from the Governor General.

Bill was so grateful for the outstanding care he has received by many exceptional doctors, especially Dr. Gallaccio, Dr. Phillips and Dr. Prodger, nurses and providers that have crossed his path in during his illness.

In accordance with the family's wishes, cremation has taken place and a Celebration of Life will take place at a later date. For those who wish, memorial donations may be made in Bill’s name to The Canadian Red Cross, Joseph Brant Hospital Foundation, and Lions Foundation of Canada Guide Dogs.
