Jennifer, Thomas and William; Julia and Andrew. We are forever
grateful to our dad for teaching us to have the courage to love,
the importance of family and the constant reminder to keep life
simple as Dad's poem so eloquently illustrates… I am becoming
simplified. To become less is better. I yearn to be free of matter.
I want liberation from my senses, from all bodily pretenses.
From achievement, from pain and pleasure: from time, space and
matter. Simple is better. We love you Dad! Friends may call at
the Turner and Porter Yorke Chapel, 2357 Bloor St. W., at Windermere,
east of the Jane subway, on Sunday, June 3 from 2-5 p.m. and
