Samuel Phillips
October 21, 1932 – December 09, 2024
With heavy hearts, we share the passing of Sam Phillips, who passed away peacefully at Shepherd Village Lodge at the age of 92.
A loving and caring husband, father, grandfather, brother, uncle, and friend, Sam will be missed by all who knew him. Born and raised in Bonavista, Newfoundland, Sam met the love of his life, Irene Manuel (of Northern Arm, Newfoundland), when they both worked at the hospital in Corner Brook. They married in Toronto and spent 63 wonderful years together, raising a family imbued with strong values of honesty, integrity, and love, setting an inspiring example of devotion to all who knew them.
Sam is predeceased by his beloved wife, Irene, and is survived by his children Glen (Karen), Brian (Mary Anne), Linda; second father to Diane (Kurt); his grandchildren Dayna, Lauren (Andrew), Dhillon, and Braeden; and two great-grandchildren.
Sam worked with the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) for 35 years and was also a dedicated volunteer for the Canadian Cancer Society. Known for his infectious laugh, humor, and caring attitude, Sam left an indelible mark on everyone he met. Whether playing cribbage—where he frequently bested his opponents—or helping others at the drop of a hat, Sam was a man of boundless energy and goodwill.
The family extends heartfelt thanks to the staff at Shepherd Village Lodge for their compassionate care and for making Sam feel comfortable during his time there. A private celebration of life will be planned for the family.
In lieu of flowers, donations in Sam's name to the Heart and Stroke Foundation would be deeply appreciated.

Gilbert Gordon
January 25, 1952 - November 27, 2024
It is with great sadness that the family of Gilbert Gordon announce his passing on Wednesday, November 27, 2024. Gilbert passed peacefully at the age of 72, surrounded by family, at Hennick Bridgepoint Hospital in Ontario, Canada.
He is lovingly remembered by his wife of almost 38 years, Carmen Gordon (nee Nicholas); son Neish, daughter Sam; sisters Keth (Mike), Emuita, Bev; brothers Sebert (Carol), Jeremiah (Icilda), George; mother-in-law Merelda Nelson; sisters-in-law Angella (Daniel), Marcia (Clifton), Jody-Ann (Johnny); brother-in-law Carlton and grandson Jaheem. He will also be dearly missed by a large circle of nieces, nephews, other family members, as well as friends in Jamaica and Newfoundland and Ontario in Canada.
Born in St. Ann, Jamaica on January 25, 1952, he migrated to Canada with his family in 2016. Gilbert was kind at heart and always willing to lend a hand. You could call upon him when in need, any time, any place. You would never hear the word “no”. He loved the Lord and was a deacon at church. He would be heard singing gospel songs all the time - at home, at church, at work, even in the great outdoors. A man of many talents – he was a chauffeur, a taxi operator, a salesman, a chef, a food and meat services associate.
In keeping with his wishes, cremation has already taken place. A memorial service will be held in Jamaica at a later date.
The family would like to thank the doctors, nurses, and care providers who cared for Gilbert during his illness. An extra thank you to the doctors and staff at North York General Hospital for the excellent and compassionate care. Thanks to everyone for everything you have done!

William Otto Christopher (Chris) Miller
November 29, 2024
Obituary for William Otto Christopher (Chris) Miller
William Otto Christopher (Chris) Miller passed away peacefully on the morning of November 29, 2024, at Sunnybrook Veterans Centre. Chris made the most of his nearly 99 years, living his life to the fullest and making positive contributions, large and small, along the way.
His passion for exploring the outdoors, his endless curiosity for people, engineering, and law all brought him joy. Logan Lake held a particularly strong place in his heart, as did the people and his work at Blakes. One of his quiet yet profound sources of pride was his service as a paratrooper in World War II.
Chris had a natural ability to connect with people from all walks of life, engaging them with genuine interest and attention. Football wove an interesting thread through his life: the army brought him to play in the CFL's Grey Cup game in 1942 in the self-described position of "West Sideline," and Sunday morning touch football with Blakes colleagues provided him with lasting connections.
The greatest love of his life was his wife, Mary Anne Miller (Currie), with whom he shared countless adventures. Chris’s children—Anne-Frances (Ganpathy Murthy), Ross, Sheila, and Martha—were deeply loved, as were his grandchildren, Shankar and Ananth. He is also survived by his brother, Jack.
Chris will be remembered for his smile, the glint in his eyes, his intellect, his love for nature, his hearty laughter, and his endless capacity to eat ice cream.
The family extends heartfelt thanks to his care team, including Dr. Advani, Dr. Feiner, St. Michael's Hospital, and the wonderful staff at Sunnybrook Veterans Centre.
Plans are underway for a personal and informal gathering to remember Chris on Sunday, December 29th, 2024. Updates will be posted here.

Thomas Alexander McLean
May 31, 1938 - November 17, 2024
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Thomas Alexander McLean, lovingly known as Tom, on Sunday, November 17th, at Lakeridge Health Oshawa Hospital.
Born on May 31st, 1938, in Quebec, Tom lived a full life of family, friends, and sports. He was married to his loving wife Kathleen “Kathy” (nee Munro) for 61 years. Together, they raised five children and cherished their family of 11 grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren. Tom was a loving brother, husband, uncle, devoted father, cherished papa, and great-grandpa, as well as a dear friend to many.
Tom joined the Navy at 18 and spent five years stationed in Halifax aboard the HMCS Athabaskan. Following his service, he pursued a career in the printing industry. With a gift for connecting with people, Tom was an exceptional conversationalist, particularly when discussing his passion: hockey.
As an avid sports enthusiast, Tom excelled in football during his youth, even receiving an invitation to the Montreal Alouettes training camp—though a knee injury curtailed his playing career. His love of sports endured through decades of coaching hockey, where two of his players reached the NHL. Whether coaching or watching his grandchildren play, Tom was a familiar and beloved figure in hockey arenas. He also enjoyed golf, sharing his time as a marshal at a local course.
Tom will be deeply missed by his wife Kathy, his sister Sandra Taylor (nee McLean), brother-in-law Bill Taylor, and his five children: Dale (Rob), Barb, Joanne, Karen (Brian), and Kevin. His grandchildren, great-grandchildren, extended family, and many friends will forever hold him in their hearts.
In lieu of flowers, donations to the Heart and Stroke Foundation would be greatly appreciated by the family.
A Celebration of Life for Tom will be held on December 13, 2024, from 2:00–7:00 p.m. at the Oshawa Naval Veteran’s Club (320 Viola Avenue, Oshawa). Family and friends are warmly invited to gather and share memories in his honour.
