My sincerest condolences to the Hendry family. 

Dear Hendry family,
Please accept my sincere condolences at the loss of your Dad. I remember him from dental school days when he, and your Mum, were so gracious about having we students invade their home!
May his memory be a blessing.
With affection,
Pennie Thornton

My sincere condolences to the family. Although my old memories are sparse, I know my visits to the house on Whitton , with Evan,  we’re always welcomed with a smile and often a story of then recent shenanigans. I will miss him. 

Our deepest condolences in your family's loss of Bob.  He was a very gentle man and we enjoyed sailing with him at Fanshawe Yacht Club.  May all your special memories always keep him close.


My son left for school in the morning and left the front door unlocked.  I walked out of the shower to find Dad and “Tom” in my kitchen, grinning ear to ear (well, not Tom so much). The first thing he said to me was “well gee…don’t YOU look lovely”, admiring the towel on my head no doubt.   Shocked and ignoring the slight, I said “Is that a real turkey??  Is it bleeding? Why is it here?  Why are YOU here?!  Why is it in my sink??  You’re taking it with you RIGHT?!!”  

And he did when I threatened to bury it in the backyard.  

Thanks Dad, for never underestimating my abilities or potential even when you were grossly incorrect. 

Dad, you never missed a birthday party, graduation, hockey game, family dinner or anything else important.  You always showed up.  The first rule of success.  Thank you. 

I have many memories of sail camping in Algonquin Park with Dad. He was almost always well equipped, other than planning several meals of fresh fish, which ended up being space food sticks if no fish were caught.

I remember one trip sailing on Opeongo Lake when a storm blew up. My hands were bleeding from holding the rope and my feet were covered in barf from the dog. I thought we might die, but believe he had a wonderful time!

I love you Dad, and I will miss you. I spent more time one on one with you in the past 3 years than ever in my life. Even though you were often in pain, we made the best of our time going on long drives looking for turkeys, or going to the beach or the park. I'm grateful to have had the time to get to know each other better.

1974 was the start of a beautiful friendship that never ended. Bob and Elsie became our best friends and forever travel buddies                    1   We had nothing but fun times and warm talks over many years.  Not bad for a couple of "Yanks and Canuks" .  Bob and Elsie introduced us to the game of tennis and cleaned our clocks every weekend.  We can't forget that!!  Bob tried to introduce me to dipping for Smelt,,,,, but UGH!!.  When he asked me to clean a batch of Smelt after one of our ventures, I thought,,,,"No chance!!  Jan and Elsie were just tight, close pals,,,,, a beautiful friendship.  Love the all the Hendrys,,,,, you are loved! Jack and Jan Wilkins

I can't accurately recall the subject of our conversation. Perhaps the meaning of life, maybe women, but at one point Bob exclaimed "I'll make you a deal.  He who grows up first promises to tell the other what it's like." 

We agreed it was a good, if not futile deal to make.

This is the man who:
 Said “Lets drive like Grandad” and proceed to drive terribly erratically/ and dangerously to the discomfort of said Grandad:
Is the likely suspect for covering my Dad’s house with a huge sign that said “Grandad’s out of work” when the retired.:
Made my Mum’s unfortunate “Hirpy Birthday” after a couple of wines a “thing” in the family:
Emptying his 30:30 and it went off ,scaring the daylights out of me and ageing my Dad 100 years;
Did his best to include me in his outdoors activities and make me a woodsman (and failed miserably-I still seldom walk off a sidewalk);
Stole my beautiful sister from a 5 year old me and was ever after called a “skauger” or a “mascaw”  which were the worst words a 5 year old me could think of;
And the list goes on……..and on…..and on…

Brother in law, husband of my Elsie, father of my wonderful nieces and nephews, friend for over 70 years.  

Hey Culligan maaaan!  I’ll catch up with you one day, you “skauger.” We'll go hunting.

Always missed.

Rick
