Dear John,
Our deepest sympathies, we only got to know Gloria for a short time the past couple years and yet we quickly grew so fond of her!  We admired her for her strength and kindness.  An amazing wonderful beautiful lady… Gloria we will miss you❣️and will be here for John♥️

I am so so sorry to hear of Gloria’s passing. I have many fond memories of Gloria especially while working with her at All Saints. Her warm smile & kindness made my job as a teacher easier. She was truly a supportive colleague and administrator. She actually would take the time to acknowledge hard work, effort & she always made me feel valued. She went out of her way to do these things, she didn’t have to. 
Gloria had a deep and easily recognizable laugh which was also so warm and inviting, like her.  It would fill up the office in the best possible way. We connected a few times over messages & I was able to hear & see just how much she adored her grandchildren. She was a very proud mom & wife indeed.  May God keep you Gloria 💗

John, Brad and Ryan:

My sincere condolences on the loss of your wife and mother.  
Gloria and I first met as fellow administrators at All Saints Catholic Secondary School.  What started as a professional relationship, evolved into a lifelong friendship. She will be sorely missed.  Her compassion, humour and zest for life were contagious. Gloria demonstrated an unparalleled leadership throughout her schools, where her presence had a way of reassuring all that everything was in order, moving forward in each situation with calculated precision and friendship. 

Veronica and I send our heartfelt condolences to John and the family.

I had the pleasure of working with John in South Carolina, and during my first Christmas away from home, the Krampps graciously welcomed me into their home to spend the holiday with them.

Gloria was such a delightful person—an amazing host and truly a kindred spirit. I immediately admired her beautiful sense of interior design, especially her two Christmas trees. ☺️ She made me feel so welcomed and was an absolute joy to be around. I’m truly grateful that I had the opportunity to meet her and experience her warmth and kindness.

My heartfelt condolences are with the entire family during this difficult time. May you all find comfort in the beautiful memories you shared with Gloria and in the love she so generously poured into the lives of those around her. May her memory continue to be a blessing to your family.

I was saddened to hear about Gloria’s passing. We shared many memorable times together in various roles at Durham Catholic. She always took time to chat and was very supportive. Her positive energy and smile will be fondly remembered. My sincere condolences to John, children and family. May she rest in peace.

John. So sorry for your loss!  50 years of marriage. Great memories I am sure. Take care and stay safe.  Brian and Laurel Boddy

Rob and I always enjoyed our time together with you and Gloria at the Provost Reunions.
Coming from a family of teachers Gloria and I had much in common.
We enjoyed her company so very much!
Growing up in Walkerton and Neustadt meant that our families were close and spent time together in the summer months.
John, your mother Irene Provost and my mother Dorothy Provost shared the same hospital room waiting for you and Bruce to be born! You won that race John!
John, your partner Gloria was a woman of faith and you will be reunited one day!

This is such sad news. Gloria and I shared many laughs as we prepared for our Principal Qualifications and then ventured into our roles as “newbie” principals. She was always full of energy, enthusiasm and warmth.
My sincere condolences to Gloria’s family and all those who had the privilege of knowing her.  She will be deeply missed.

I am so sorry to hear of the passing of Gloria.  I worked at the  board office and she was always so kind.

RIP you were always so special 

All my love to the family.

So sad to hear of Gloria’s passing.  I’m sure she touched many students and colleagues over the decades.  My thoughts are with you John, the boys and your family and friends.

I am saddened to hear of Gloria's passing and offer sincere condolences to her family.  Gloria was a wonderful administrator to work with.  Staffing and HR issues were always handled with care and compassion.  RIP Gloria 🙏🏽

My condolences to Gloria’s family on the loss of  a wonderful person, friend and colleague. When we worked together at the DCDSB her great sense of humour and generous heart helped me through many difficult times.  Her laughter, kind generous heart and  love for family and all of us visible every day.  Rest in peace Gloria, rest in peace.

It’s been many years since I spent time with Aunt Glor, and I’m very sorry to hear that she passed away so suddenly. She spent a lot of time with me when I was little, and I have a lot of fun and funny memories of those years. 

My heart goes out to John, Brad, Ryan and the rest of her family, friends and colleagues. I know she will be greatly missed.

Mrs krampp was my favourite principal at st Thomas aquinas in Oshawa and when I went to high school at All Saints…she was incredible ! My condolences to the family and may she rest in peace peace <3

John and family,  my deepest condolences on the loss of such a remarkable woman.  I will always be grateful to Gloria for her inspiration, encouragement and support throughout my administrative career. 
I will miss her fierce sense of humour that provided her family, friends and staff with much laughter. 

Many cherished memories of a role model who became a treasured friend.

We are very sorry to hear this sad news.  It was a great pleasure to work beside the unintimadatable Gloria at All Saints.

This motley crew met at McMaster in 1972 and have stayed close throughout the years. This was our 10th anniversary where we congregated at two (3 bedroom) cottages with 14 adults and 17 kids under the age of 6! That’s how close we have remained.

RIP Gloria, you are in our hearts forever.💕

Glor was a wonderfully warm and gracious friend. I will miss her laughter, her sense of humour, her zest for life, her integrity,  and even her competitive nature. She was an amazing Risk player.....watch out heavenly souls! Here she comes! When we got together, it was always like no time had passed. It was a crazy adventure. I will particularly miss our many travel excursions. They were  exciting and full of fun and mischief.  Never a dull moment!!! She was a very special companion and dear friend. 

We go back a long way. Rest in peace now, sweet Gloria. You will always remain in my mind and and in my heart.  With love and affection....

Cheryl

John, Paul and family,

I was very sad to have read of Gloria's passing. While she was a solid Catholic school leader when I worked with her at Paul Dwyer, what's most important and what I'll always remember with the greatest respect and admiration, was her compassion for anyone (students or staff) who was going through challenging times. Gloria was the first to step forward, checking in privately and consistently. I will miss her smile, her laugh, and her hugs; she was so free to give them to people whom she respected at any time.   My prayers for Gloria and for all of you continue at this difficult time.

Please except our deepest condolences for your loss.Our thoughts are with  you John  and family during this difficult time. Karen  ,Rick and  family.
