REID, James (Jim) Bernard Daniel Reid  -
September 7, 1936 - August 18, 2024

It is with great sadness we announce the passing of Jim Reid at the age of 87.

A wonderful husband to Kay of 68 years; a devoted Father to Debbie (Gerard), Susie and Sandy.

His legacy is his 3 grandchildren, Kenny (Robyn), Phillip (Parry), Christopher; and his great-granddaughter, Rachel.

He was predeceased by his mother, Donna; and his siblings, Rosalie and Ronnie. Jim and Kay met at St.Paul's Catholic School in Toronto.

They created a wonderful family life together in Scarborough and Oshawa.

He had a successful career of 36 years working at Steelcase Canada. He will be deeply missed and forever in our hearts.

MATTHEWS,  A. Edward (Ted) Matthews  -   made his last train trip departing the station from platform 2, on August 1, 2024, enroute to the big N gauge layout in the sky.

Born on July 5, 1929 was perfect timing, as he would be too young to enlist in WW11, giving way better odds of getting those 95 trips around the sun under his belt.

Dad was predeceased by his loving wife of 47 years, Jacqueline Matthews; and his adored partner of 20 years, Shirley Hodgson; his parents, Ted and Rose Matthews; his sisters, Betty Webber and Evelyn Lascelles; his brother, Tom; and his granddaughter, Krystle.

Dad is survived by us, his children, Mike (Connie), Michele (Jack), Denise (Russ) and Rod (Shandra). He will be missed terribly by his nine grandchildren and ten great-grandchildren.

After he worked with his Dad at Whites Fish Market, he ventured into the frozen food business, working for Associated Freezers. He worked in Dartmouth, Moncton and Vancouver; finally returning to Toronto in 1997. We want to thank the amazing staff at Amica for their wonderful and loving care of our Dad these past few years.

Also to the awesome team of nurses and doctors who took great care of him in his final days.

There will be a celebration of our Dad's life on Saturday, August 31st, from 12-3 p.m., at the Brampton Golf Course.

As Dad would love to say "Here's looking up your address!"

She was a volunteer and member of the Friends of the Central Experimental Farm since 1996. She will be remembered for her curiosity and mastery of roman numerals. Family crosswords won't be the same without her.

We'd like to thank the Ottawa South Palliative Group for their incredible care that allowed us to fulfill mom's wish to remain in her home.

The family would appreciate donations in her memory to the Ottawa South Palliative Foundation

WILLIAMS, Ivy Violet  -  It is with great sadness that we bid farewell to a loving mother, grandmother, aunt and dear friend. Ivy Violet Williams was born in Kingston, Jamaica, on May 9, 1931.

She was the eldest of four children including brothers, Arthur, Alvin and Aseung, born to Thompson and Louise Lyew. She aspired to be a doctor when she was very young.

She was a good student who found learning Chinese so easy that she began teaching it to others when she was only 16.

Ivy was always so proud that many of her young students became so successful in life.

Ivy had a full, rich life filled with music, learning, dancing and so many good friends. She was also very active with the Caribbean Chinese Association (CCA), and sang with the Sweet Adelines in Toronto.

In January of 1951, smitten with Stanford Williams, she got married and raised a family.

She is survived by Stan, daughter June, sons Stan Jr, Mike and Dean, and grandchildren Alexander, Nicholas and Geoffrey.

In honour of mom, and the amazing care she received over the years, donations to the Scarborough Health Network would be appreciated.
