POOLE, Richard Kenneth Poole

Richard Kenneth Poole

1959 - November 11, 2024

Surrounded by family, Richard Kenneth Poole passed away peacefully on Monday, November 11, 2024, at the Lakeridge Health Centre in Oshawa at the age of 65. Beloved husband and cherished partner to Jeannine (née Rensink) of Nestleton. Dear brother to Stephen Poole and his wife Debb, and loving brother-in-law to Jan Rensink (Tracy), Stephen Rensink (Nancy), Karin Lefler (Wayne), Nick Rensink (Juli), and Victoria Rensink.

Ken found great joy and hope in his faith and his relationship with his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. He was deeply connected with his Port Perry Baptist Church family, especially treasuring the fellowship of the Thursday Morning Men’s Prayer Group, where he nurtured friendships and shared in the uplifting of family, friends, and community members through prayer. Romans 12:12, “Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer,” was a verse that brought him strength and comfort through his final years.

The family of Ken Poole will receive friends at Port Perry Baptist Church on Wednesday, November 20, 2024, from 10:00 to 11:00 a.m., followed by a service celebrating Ken’s life at 11:00 a.m., officiated by Pastor Jim Clemens. (The service will also be livestreamed.)

In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests donations to the Port Perry Baptist Church or the R.S. McLaughlin Durham Regional Cancer Centre in Oshawa.

With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Wendy Lorraine Westcott, who left us peacefully on November 11, 2024, at Simcoe Hospice in Barrie, Ontario. Born in Etobicoke, Ontario, on February 2, 1949, Wendy was the eldest of three children, daughter of Albert and Dorothy Ryans. She was a beloved sister to her brothers, Tom (Diane) and Peter (Cheryl-Ann), who remained close to her throughout her life.

Her grandchildren, Charlotte, Benjamin (Benny), and Scotlyn (Scoti), were her pride and joy, filling her life with laughter and love.

Wendy’s passion for teaching and education began early, and she dedicated her career to shaping young minds, spending many fulfilling years as a beloved Kindergarten teacher at Brechin Public School. Known for her warmth and patience, Wendy impacted the lives of countless students and was remembered fondly by both her colleagues and the community.

Embracing rural life, Wendy and Ross renovated the century-old farmhouse on the Westcott family farm in Beaverton, transforming it into a welcoming home filled with tradition and beauty. Wendy took joy in hosting family gatherings and creating a warm, inviting space for friends and loved ones.

A private family visitation and burial will be held. A celebration of Wendy’s life will take place at the Beacan Presbyterian Church Hall on Saturday, November 16th from 2:30-4:30 P.M. Memorial donations to the Canadian Cancer Society or Parkinson's Canada would be appreciated by the family.

Throughout her health challenges over the past three years, Nancy maintained a positive outlook on life.

It is with profound sadness that we announce the sudden passing of Keith Danielsen on Friday, November 8, 2024. Born in Birmingham, England, on November 13, 1945, to Louis and Rosanna, Keith was a loving father to Lars (Andrea) and a cherished grandfather to Ben and Spencer.

Keith fondly recalled his childhood visits to a local sports store in England, a memory that inspired him to eventually own and operate his own. He realized this dream by founding Mount Kirby Skis & Boards, a store that has proudly served ski, snowboard, and outdoor enthusiasts in the Durham Region and the GTA for over 50 years.

After moving to Canada in 1967, Keith quickly became involved in local clubs and sports teams. An avid golfer, he was a member of the Oshawa Golf and Curling Club for over 40 years. He was also active in soccer, skiing, and tennis clubs throughout his life.
