I love you Nunu and miss you tons. I am so thankful for all the time we had, especially since you and Nana moved out here; catching up, watching the boys’ hockey games, hanging out on the farm, and making new memories.. you are the best Nunu I could ask for. 

You have always been someone to count on since I was child. You have shown me, and now my children, what being a Grandpa, and Great Grandpa is all about. I know you love us and would do anything for us. 

I am grateful to have learned so much from you, and wish we had more time together. I will miss your smile, laughter, and big bear hugs, but I will never ever forget them. 

I know you are in good company up there, and will continue to love us from above..  your memory will always be strong in our hearts and minds, and we will continue to make you proud!

Love you,
Stefi Wefi xoxo

I miss you Andre. I was lucky enough to have this kind and gentle man share a home with us before his departure. He was an intellect, an inspiration and one of the nicest people I have ever known. 
God Bless You Andre and I assure you we will take great care of Rose as well as “ the girls” Suzi and Sofi. ❤️

Rosie and family- Andre was a quiet man, and like so many others will attest to, Andre was always there to give advice and help others.
He loved to BBQ- and make sure that anyone who came to visit was well fed or had a drink in hand! I will miss him and miss seeing his smile and putting that smile on Rosie's face. God take care if him now, And God Bless you Rose.

I was so sad to hear about Andre. Andre was our architect and he did such an amazing job designing our home here in Ottawa- we are so grateful for his vision. He was also such a kind and gentle man - he always brought his sweet little dog Benji along with him on visits which my young son Nathan thoroughly loved . We will miss him. My condolences to Rose and family.

I'm struggling today to find the words that best describe Andre's impact in my life.  Profound is what comes to mind.

His family in Soo sponsored my family to come to Canada in 1969 from Finland. Even thought our personal lives did not intersect until the mid 90's, Andre was instrumental is building my client base in Ottawa over nearly 3 decades. Andre was second to no one when it came to helping people truly understand the commitment needed to build a better home.

I will miss his weekly emails and updates on becoming a better builder.

Remembering a long time friend from Sault Ste. Marie and fellow Sir James Dunn Collegiate alumni. Reconnected over the last 10+ years at the annual SooBoys weekend at Glamour Lake. Many great memories from those weekends. He will be missed. 

Andre was a dear friend and customer for many years. I will miss our many good laughs and lunches together. I am very fortunate to have known him. He is forever in my thoughts. I thought of you and smiled today Andre. I wore the spiked footwear you kindly gave me when I was with you last year.  We are in the middle of our first storm of the season here in Ottawa. I know you're smiling. My deepest sympathy goes out to Rose and family.

My Stepdad was kind, loving, generous, smart and extremely talented.  He treated all he met with respect.  He loved my Mom dearly (his Rosie) and her family.  He adored his grandchildren and great grandchildren.  He will forever be in our hearts and I cherish every moment I shared with him. I love you SD.
