Ollie. I just found out about my Dear Friend and collegue, Dick's passing when I stopped here at Trevor's.  I did know Dick had cancer either so a great shock to me. My deepest sympathies to you, the girls and Danny. Hope you are well and managing OK. Best wishes  for strength and good health as you live through this time of adjustment.  May the love of your family and friends help you through the days and months ahead.

Very sorry to read about the passing of Mr. Hunka. He was my Math 30 teacher decades ago at Harry Ainlay, but one of my favourite teachers. He later showed me this beautiful home in Belgravia that I still wish I had bought. I offer you my condolences and many happy memories of a man who touched the lives positively of many students.

Olga and family, Mrs. Ostashek and families,  Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you at this sad time. May God wrap  you close in his loving arms through the grief and that your memories of Dick will bring you great joy.  May Dick rest in peace and may God give you the strength at this difficult time.  Blessings in Jesus name.  
Delores Mohyluk and family.

May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief.

Dear Olga and family.
My sincere condolences. I am truly sadden to hear about Dan's passing. I have many fond and pleasant memories of our friendship while growing up with Dan and your family during our younger days in Hairy Hill. Take care.

I taught with Dan for many years at Harry Ainlay.  He was a man to keep his head in the midst of chaos and controversy, and he treated everyone with such pleasant and gentle equanimity and real interest that he made not just converts, but also friends wherever he went. My sincere condolences to his family.

Olga and family,
Thinking of you at this difficult time my thoughts and prayers are with you!

To the family of Dan Hunka:

Please accept the expression of my deepest sympathy for the passing of Dan.  I was fortunate to have known and worked with Dan at Harry Ainlay High School, and remember him as such a kind and sincere gentleman, who always smiled, had a wonderful sense of humour, a twinkle in his eye, and who was always available for help and advice for me in my first year at a new school.  I am truly saddened by this loss, and am sending you my most sincere condolences at this difficult time.

At this difficult time please accept our sincere condolences.
Shirley and John Scott, Sherwood Park, Alberta

Ollie, Bill and family, I am so sorry to hear of Dick's passing. Losing someone you love is very difficult. May it be a small measure of comfort to know I'm thinking of all of you and sending my blessings that you all  treasure your everlasting memories.
