Paul, I am so sorry to hear about the passing of your wife Kathleen. Wishing you healing in the time ahead,
Sincerely,

I am so sad to hear of Kathleen's passing. I have fond memories of Kathleen when she was my boss at the Hamilton Public Library on the Business, Science and Technology floor.  She was very supportive and helpful when I first started as a library technician. I always remember the assignment she gave me when I first started. The assignment was pages of information questions that needed to be answered using the reference books available on that floor. The questions were challenging but I loved the challenge! The knowledge I gained under her tutelage  was  used throughout my career. My condolences to Paul and family.

I lived next door to the Huggins Chan family in Belmont in the 50’s & 60’s. I recall a gentle atmosphere and friendly neighbors. They owned a country home on the way to Toco and allowed us to use it sometimes. May she rest in peace.

Sorry to hear about the passing of Kathleen. I worked with her many years ago at HPL. I was a student at the time and was my first job. I will always remember her kind presence, and having the occasional lunch break with her. My fondest memory of her was when she asked me to teach her Sudoku. My thoughts and prayers are with the family.

Paul, we are sorry to hear about the passing of your lovely wife, Kathleen.   We were good neighbours for many years.  Last year, while visiting in your neighborhood, I remember our good chat together and how happy it was to see you both.  Frank and I are sending you and your family our condolences, love and prayers.

Dear Paul,
I was so sorry to read of the passing of Kathleen. She was such a lovely gal and so very good at her job. I knew her from my time as the Regional Interlibrary Loan Librarian at Hamilton Public Library. We also lived in the same apartment building at 75 Bold Street.
Please accept our sincere sympathies at this most difficult of times.
