SINCLAIR, Margaret
The family of Margaret SINCLAIR would like to express our heartfelt appreciation for all the support we have received since the death of our beloved mother. In her last few weeks we were overwhelmed by the wonderful care given by the Parameds, the Victorian Order of Nurses nurses and the tender assistance provided by Peggy Luxton's staff of Caring Hands. We will always be grateful to Dr. CHAN for the medical services he continued to provide for our mother. The floral tributes, donations, cards, gifts of food and other expressions of sympathy have been very comforting to us throughout this difficult time. We were deeply touched by the provision of a catered meal in our home courtesy of the culinary talents of Ruth BUTLER, May HOWES, Tina WATSON and Ben WILTON. Thank you to Rob Fawcett and his excellent team for their attention to every detail. We could not have asked for more consideration on our behalf. A special thank you to the staff at Hair Fair for styling mom's hair exactly as she would have liked, complete with the little net. Mother always wished her service to be conducted from Gentle Shepherd Church and her wish was granted with special gifts of beauty. We thank Pastor Ann GILLIES for her thoughtful message and her kind words of comfort, her son, Matthew, for his mastery of the sound system and the lovely harmony of Dianne CARLSON, Judy MacNEILL and Irene LITTLE, skillfully accompanied by Heather WIGHT. Krista BULLOCK's piano solo was a special tribute to her great-grandmother. We extend sincere appreciation to the Gentle Shepherd Women, under the capable coordination of Joan McGEE, for providing such a delicious lunch. Reverend PRINCE's visit to our home on Christmas Eve day will always be a treasured memory. Perhaps the best way we can thank this community in its entirety, is through Mom's own words which we recently discovered in a written message to her family, "God bless you all".

Sincere and true in heart and mind,
Beautiful memories he left behind.

GILLIN, Leslie Edwin
By Jan BULEY, Page A16
Husband, father, Scrabble and piano player, bird lover. Born November 5, 1922, in Brantford, Ontario Died February 9 at the family cottage in Point Clark, Ontario, of natural causes, aged Ed GILLIN grew up on a farm in Brantford, Ontario In 1946, he married Dorothy WILKINS (or "Wilk" as she is affectionately called,) and in the same year, Ed graduated from the University of Guelph as a proud "Aggie." Children appeared like dandelions along the laneway -- Kim, Kathy, Bill, Jan, and Kent. There were numerous busy diaper pails and many other child-rearing challenges.
Ed became very involved with tomato research for Campbell Soup Co. (where he worked for a remarkable 43 years) but eventually landed a much-loved position as the poultry purchasing agent for Campbell's in Listowel, Ontario
Ed had ceaseless energy. He sang in church choirs, served on Scouting committees, won and lost at Scrabble games, assisted with school projects, signed hundreds of report cards, barbecued with flair, played the organ, piano and banjo-uke, completely overhauled the family cottage, brewed award-winning beer, entertained countless Friends, composed hundreds of birthday poems and songs that paid homage to his beloved family and numerous Friends. Ed travelled through this busy world with the love of his life, Wilk.
After his retirement from Campbell's, time again marched on at an even faster and more fascinating pace. Wilk and Ed moved to live permanently at the family cottage at Point Clark, where gardening, golf, theatre and a whole new set of adventures awaited them.
Never was there any thought of a vegetable garden when five hungry children were growing up in Listowel, but retirement seemed to kindle a long-lost yearning for soil experimentation and seed germination with Ed. With his University of Guelph background, Ed's gusto for gardening was untamable! He was wildly enthusiastic about his bumper crop of "Early Girl" tomatoes (there were thousands of them) and eloquently ecstatic about the boxes and baskets of onions, squash, carrots, radishes, beets, and Swiss chard that he harvested each summer. He took great delight in sharing his crop with neighbours and family and absolutely nothing was wasted.
One Saturday afternoon, Ed constructed a compost container that was the size of a small tool shed. Legend has it he had been nicknamed "Troll" for his tenacious determination to never throw anything away; he also maintained a lengthy list of incredible inventions and contraptions -- some of which even prevented the squirrels from dining too heartily at Wilk's bird-feeders. A nature-lover since he was small, Ed was the creator and custodian of approximately 300 bluebird houses. He never lost his devotion to birds. There are hundreds of birdhouses he mounted on fence-posts bordering Bruce County side-roads near Kincardine and Ripley, Ontario
Our father died in February, just as the male cardinal was arriving for its early lunch at one of the many birdfeeders Ed had made. And most of our immediate family was present when Ed breathed his final breath. It was an incredibly powerful moment and something we felt so privileged to witness. And Joan, one of the people who came to take my father's body away to be cremated after he died, uttered a transforming comment, the kind that one never forgets: "You should know that it's a rare and beautiful thing when children are present to witness the last breath of a parent who witnessed your first."
We stood at the window and watched the flash of red feathers at the birdfeeder. It's one of those things that stays with you.
Jan is one of the five GILLIN children. She wrote this on behalf of her siblings.
