March 19, 1927 - March 28, 2022
 
Our dear Shirley passed quietly at home Monday, March 28th. Just days after her 95th birthday.
 
Grieving her loss is her husband and first love Roy, best friend and companion of 74 years. Also mourning the loss of their loving mother are her daughter JilAnn and her son Roy jr. Her youngest son Jon, who sadly, has already passed, is eagerly awaiting her with open arms. Missing their dear grandmother is, Ethan and Elizabeth, Cristen and Aaron, and Taylor as well as her great-grandchildren Lyric and Emma.
 
Cared for, loved, and comforted in her final days with compassion and strength by Roy, JilAnn, and Taylor as well as the wonderful team of visiting doctors, nurses, and personal support workers who went above and beyond to make Shirley’s wish of remaining at home a possibility.

The entire family is filled with gratitude for the amount of love and care provided by these people, who were once considered strangers are now cherished friends.
 
Shirley slipped away quietly at home surrounded by flowers, cards, mementos, and an ever-growing pile of projects she would create for friends and family as an expression of her love.
 
Shirley was known for her loving gestures that often came in the form of  hand-made cards written in the most beautiful calligraphy, or in the form of her famous raspberry tarts that often found their way into the hands of her favorite doctors, neighbors, and even retail workers with whom she would strike up a conversation and become quick friends.
 
At home, you would find Shirley blasting her favorite c.d’s, having dance parties with her grandkids, and working away in her craft room or her beautiful garden. Shirley will be remembered for her kind spirit, her strength, her wicked sense of humor, and her unmeasured love for her family.
 
Friends and family have had a chance to say goodbye and cremation has taken place.
 
-      When we die, every act of kindness is a little bit of LOVE, we leave behind.

 (October 24, 1937 – March 17, 2022)
 
Bernard F. (Bernie) Markle fittingly left the world on a day when the Irish gather with friends and family to celebrate and raise a glass of cheer to honour those who lift our spirits.
 
Bernie had a special quality: With his striking Irish smiling eyes and unique ability to crack jokes at warp speed, he could help you forget your worries and make your troubles fade away. When he turned on the charm and you were under his spell, a feeling of lightness and joy might slip into your soul.
 
While Bernie's journey was often tumultuous, battling mental health and addiction issues, his life story is ultimately one of resilience. He was determined to never give up and to “keep on keeping on” despite life’s challenges.
 
Bernie's life could be a beacon to those facing their own demons. His story reminds us of the adage: “When you're flat down on your back there's no way but up.”
 
If you were fortunate, you were invited to sit for a while as Bernie cracked jokes in an impressive stream of consciousness. “May your day be touched by a bit of Irish luck, brightened by a song in your heart and warmed by the smiles of the people you love.”
 
This was very much how Bernie lived out his last years with his Forest Heights family at the LTC home in Kitchener. Famous at the home, he was often the “life of the party;” the one who would smile and break into song no matter who you were - unless of course - you came without a Mars bar, a  Coke, or his favourite: ketchup chips.
 
Bernie is survived by his children Karen, Ted, and Laura; his grandchildren, Leigh, Danielle, Katy, Carrie, Simon, Louis, Erin, and Ben; and his great grandchildren, Océanne, Kessey, and Claire. Bernie also loved his grand dogs, Ruby, Yankee Doodle, and Ivy. Dogs for Bernie were the perfect friends: No judgement, unconditional love, and living for the moment. Bernie is predeceased by his son Jeff and granddaughter Christal.
 
The family is looking to plan an outdoor gathering in the late spring/early summer for a celebration of Bernie’s life - hopefully on the kind of sunshiny day that we would have appreciated.
 
To honour Bernie’s love of our furry wise souls, donations will be gratefully accepted to the KW Humane Society.

Bob was born and raised in Northern Ontario and moved to Cambridge in 1976.  
 
The family would like to thank all the people that helped and supported their dad over the last few months especially Debbie Paiva, Paul Brauen, Serena Hubercheck, Glenn Annett, the nurses from Paramed, Benedetta and Joanne, the various PSW’s, Dr. Hollowell, Dr. Hollings, Nurse Practitioner Donna Gill and ER nurses at CMH.  
 
Cremation has taken place and there will be no service.  A celebration of life will be held at a later date to honour Bob and his wife Dyan.  In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation or the charity of your choice.

Passed away peacefully at Stratford General Hospital on Monday March 14, 2022 at the age of 67 years.

Rick was especially proud of his welding career with the Plumbers Steamfitters and Welders Local 527. He served for 4 years on the Examining Board as well as just over 5 years on the finance committee. He took the Stewart Training Program and was honored to be chosen as a Union representative.

Rick’s proficiency in welding qualified him for working in the vaults at the Bruce Nuclear Generating Station and Darlington Nuclear Generating Station. He also worked at Roberts, Sutherland and Schultz, Modern Niagara as well as many other contractors too numerous to mention. He loved his job and he was good at it.

Rick achieved his life’s dreams of building a house in the country, having a barn with horses GoBar, Shalamar, Shacar and Zorra and his Dobermans Zeus, Thunder and Storm.

Loving husband of Linda Kipfer, nee Phillion.

Dear brother of Gary Kipfer and his wife Marlene.

Stepfather to Debbie Farrow, grandfather to Nikki, Darcy and Jesse and great-grandfather to Jason (Cricket) Dustin (Pickle), Wyatt and Wesley. Nephews Randy (Marlene) David (Karen) Bryan (Dianne), Bradley and Cheryl (Bill).
