Grave space crunch hits home BY LISA QUEEN
lqueen@yrmg.com
When Don Reesor took over the family grave digging business from his uncle in 1985, he was still using just a shovel and wheelbarrow to dig plots.
He would shovel out half a grave early in the morning before heading to his job as a probation officer. After his day job, his wife would help him finish off the grave before the couple and their two young children would eat a picnic dinner on the
grounds of one of the many small cemeteries where he worked. Reesor, who owns DRX Excavating and Lawn Care, has seen many changes that have affected See FINAL, page 3.

Final resting places in short supply From page 1.
the cemetery industry in York Region over the past three decades. The population has roughly tripled as subdivisions have gobbled up valuable land, but while urban planners and politicians have made room for houses, schools, hospitals, libraries, fire halls, and recreation centres, the idea of setting aside land for cemeteries has often been ignored, possibly because graveyards don’t pay property taxes and development fees.
‘So, it’s not like you can just go out into the forest and bury somebody.’ Aging baby boomers are causing the region’s seniors population to skyrocket. They will make up the bulk of the 232,000 residents who will die over the next quarter century. With Canada welcoming about 250,000 newcomers a year, with most immigrants settling in major urban areas such as the Greater Toronto Area, Vancouver and Montreal, the region has had an influx of many ethnic groups with various cultural cemetery customs. Small community graveyards containing a few hundred souls have given way to major cemetery and funeral companies. “There will be no more one-acre, two-acre cemeteries any more. They are a thing of the past, as far as I’m concerned. That’s my thought,” Reesor said while standing just outside the fence of the 204-year-old Dickson Hill Cemetery just off Hwy. 48 near 19th Avenue in Markham, where he also sits on the board of directors. “It will be 100-acre, 200-acre commercial cemeteries and the big guys are going to be running them. I’m third generation (as a grave digger). There could be another generation that does it, but it’s a dying thing.” A new cemetery needs analysis by consultant LEES + Associates Architects and Planners warns of an impending shortage of cemetery
land in the region. While there is enough cemetery land in the region overall to meet the needs for the next 25 years, the report warns of a critical shortage is on the horizon in some communities and among some religious groups. Strange to think of Canada, with its abundance of land, running out of cemetery land, but major urban centres such as Toronto and Vancouver are beginning the feel the crunch of dwindling graveyard space, says Gary Carmichael, vice-president of government and corporate affairs with Arbor Memorial, which has 41 cemeteries, 28 crematoria and 92 funeral homes across Canada, including in Newmarket, Stouffville, Markham and Woodbridge. An application for a cemetery with 50 acres of burial space in Dickson Hill, just south of Stouffville, is now before the Ontario Municipal Board. “When you think of Canada, if I can get on my soap box for half a second, you think of this great, wide, expansive land, but cemeteries are regulated land use. So, it’s not like you can just go out into the forest STAFF PHOTO/NICK IWANYSHYN and bury somebody,” Carmichael Third-generation grave digger Don Reesor at Dickson Hill Cemetery, just off Hwy. 48, in Markham. said.
NOT JUST CANADA But while lack of cemetery land may be just making its way onto the radar screen in Canada, it has long been an issue in other parts of the world, experts said. “Increasingly, this is a problem affecting mega-cities. Mega-cities have been completely taken over by the scale of demand. Burial space hasn’t kept pace. There is a need for step–change in the way they are trying to deal with that as an issue,” Julie Rugg, a senior research fellow at the University of York’s Cemetery Research Group in England, said. “In all of these places, you see cemetery provision is creaking under the weight of demand and they really have to think strategically about how to deal with it.” Different cities and countries face different challenges, including “archaic” laws banning re-using graves, a lack of land, financial hardship in purchasing new property, regulatory hurdles, a reluctance by
politicians to plan for cemeteries and often no laws forcing them to address the issue, Rugg said, adding Scotland has just passed legislation requiring local governments to deal with cemetery space. Although cremation rates are rising worldwide, communities around the world have resorted to creative means to make the most of their limited cemetery lands.
‘Mega-cities have been completely taken over by the scale of demand.’ While owning a cemetery plot in perpetuity is the law in Ontario, residents of some European countries only buy a cemetery plot for a certain number of years. If the family doesn’t continue to pay for the space, the grave is reused for someone else.
IMPORTANT MESSAGE FROM YOUR LOCAL NEWSPAPER:
according to Bruce S. Elliott, a history professor at Carleton University in Ottawa specializing in cemeteries and gravestones.
york region praised “The two things in life that are certain are death and taxes — and certainly death is something we all have to face. We have to do something with human remains and as long as we feel that human remains deserve respect and shouldn’t just be thrown out with the trash, then we have to acknowledge we need to treat those remains with respect. Our views of what constitutes dignified treatment change. Cremation was initially a hard sell in a lot of circles,” he said. “When burial spaces in municipalities begin to run out, it will then be forced on to the agenda of local governments and it’s something local governments should think about. I think York Region should be commended for doing that study.”

About a century ago, landsqueezed San Francisco relocated its cemeteries to a community about 10 miles south. In Hong Kong, families store ashes in funeral homes, waiting years for a space in a public or private cemetery to open up. The lack of cemetery land is not an issue discussed much among average residents in Brazil or covered in the media, Daniel Cabral, a tour guide in Rio de Janeiro, said. However, he pointed out the city has just welcomed a vertical cemetery, featuring a chapel, lagoon, peacock garden, waterfalls, an aviary with parrots and toucans and a small restaurant. Meanwhile, Brazil’s city of Santos contains the world’s tallest vertical cemetery, which stands 32 storeys tall. Canada has, so far, been able to avoid much of the angst surrounding dwindling cemetery land experienced in other areas of the world,

Chalk board lets youth share their hopeful messages apersico@yrmg.com
Messages of hope — some comical, some political and some polite — are scrawled across a chalkboard in the heart of Unionville. The Giving Tree Unionville, a local youth group, created a Board of Hope for residents and visitors to Unionville to share messages of hope for the future. “Asking about the future makes you think,” said group founder and Unionville resident Shanta Sundarason. The board, located near Millennium Square off Fred Varley Drive, is an interactive art project where passersby can share their personal aspirations in a public space. The board, on display during the summer months, was unveiled recently and local residents and Markham councillors lined up to fill in the ‘My hope for the future is’ blank. And hope for the future is … “Donald Trump isn’t elected. Kayne (West) to be president in 2020. Smile all the time. More Harry Potter. Everyone can afford a house. Clean air and water,” said the messages. “We wanted people to go away with a memory that they left some inspiration behind for the community,” Sundarason said. The interactive public art display is modelled after a project created by artist Candy Chang in 2011 in New Orleans (beforeidie.
cc). The original project, Before I die, encouraged those who walk past an abandoned house to think about their dreams for the future. Since then, more than 500 hope board art installations have popped up around the world in more than 70 countries and in more than 35 languages. Markham’s hope board is one of a few in Canada. Along with writing messages of hope, the local youth group also established the Award of Hope, to be given out annually to two local teens who help bring hope to the community. This year, the first recipients were Victoria Jones of Bill Crothers Secondary School for her work with 360Kids and Joshua Mohajer of St. Augustine Catholic High School for his anti-bullying efforts. The Giving Tree youth will also monitor the board to help ensure no vandalism or nasty comments are written or left up. As the board gets more and more full, the group will take pictures and document the messages. The board will be erased and a new set of hopes for the future can be created. The pictures will then be turned into a book.

Alternative censusing?
Right-to-die bill about individual rights
W
e filled out the census form the other day, that much ballyhooed poll of who lives in our home, what our relationships are, how we get around, what we do for a living. Having these stats tallied is considered vitally important for our country’s future. The previous government was much criticized for cutting back on the long-form census, making it voluntary, and so on. So now all is right with the world and you better answer all those queries from the stats people or else. While it is so kind of them to ask, did you notice all the really, really looong questions, such as — Is anyone listed in step B a farm operator who produces at least one agricultural product intended for sale? For example, crops, livestock, milk, poultry, eggs, greenhouse or nursery products, Christmas trees, sod, honey, bees (odd juxtaposition - honey and/or bees ... or honey bees? Can’t have honey if you don’t have bees!), maple syrup products, furs, etc. So we get it already! A farm product! Likewise I was relieved to determine what my relationship is with “Person 1 and Person 2”: Opposite-sex husband or wife of Person 1; Son or daughter of both Persons 1 and 2 (it’s like Dr. Seuss! Thing 1 and Thing 2!); Sweetheart, hockey teammate or dentist of Person 3; Off-leash dog park acquaintance of Person 4; Guy who held door at Wendy’s for Person 5. Yes, I am exaggerating. But some of the questions do seem a little odd. Personally, if I had my own census to write up, I might have been a little more nosey, and asked a few questions to find out how we really feel about each other and the relationships in our lives. Perhaps the government would consider them for next time: Q: When it comes to your use of public transit in York Region, do you travel by: 1. Car 2. Pickup truck 3. SUV
Bernie O’Neill 4. Minivan? Q: Fill in the blank. Your current employer is... 1. Wonderful! 2. Probably monitoring my computer so I can only say so much. Q: Of all the persons living in your home, who do you wish was actually living there? 1. Not everyone but you don’t want to say who? 2. Is it unkind to single out my mom? 3. Quit “dropping by”. And get your own food and cable! You know who you are. 4. If people wouldn’t flip off their socks all over, I would quit wishing they lived on the street. Q: Which person in the home do you have the deepest feelings for? 1. Confession: I like my grandkids better than my own kids. 2. Anyone who has a job. 3. When you say “person” does that include cats? Q: Describe your relationship with your spouse. 1. Happily married. 2. Happily unmarried. 3. Still somewhat happy most Fridays, every second month during even numbered years. 4. We live near an LCBO; that helps. 5. On good days, I wonder what I saw in him in the first place. On bad days, be afraid, very afraid. 6. Every moment together with this person is like having the dentist drill out a cavity. So there you have it, folks. The alternative census. Either way, I hope you completed your form and I hope the info is useful — to someone. And I hope you have someone you can count on to call on the phone, message on your computer, or check off in a box as being your friend.
Re: Thornhill church opposes right-to-die bill, April 28. What all churches (Catholic or other denominations) and society at large need to understand is that the right-to-die bill was not passed to inflame or placate their religious beliefs. There is much misinformation and fear-mongering ever since the Supreme Court made it law. First of all lets understand — this is NOT like your early winter flu shot — people will not be lining up at the corner pharmacy waiting their turn. Secondly, and let’s get this straight — this bill is being passed to honour and respect an individual’s right to end his/her life due to extenuating circumstances. This is a very private and personal decision which the individual makes after much deliberation with the support of their family in many instances. Church and community have no part in this decision making. Earlier this year a couple of cases were approved for doctor-assisted suicide.
Think for a moment of their families who watched their loved one waste away in intense discomfort and pain and begged to be relieved. If the masses haven’t walked in their shoes, they have no right to be judge and jury. Thornhill MP Mr. Peter Kent has been approached by parishioners of St. Joseph the Worker Catholic Church delivering 1,700 letters opposing the bill and they hope he will be able to influence the Liberal government and prevent certain recommendations from being included in final legislation. I am happy for the two parishioners who were able to overcome their trials and turn them into victories. Unfortunately exceptions don’t make the rules, therefore making this bill necessary. Mr. Trudeau, please don’t be pressurized to ‘water down’ this bill — it is long overdue. Parishioners, a good idea would be to go to confession and ask forgiveness for being smug and self righteous. It is nobody’s business to make decisions for others.

Housing crisis for seniors, too How long is too long for an over 70-year-old senior to obtain a subsidized apartment in York Region? A person I know has an annual income of less than $15,000 and a 50 per cent rent [subsidy] application was made eight years ago. Since that time 202 units came about at The Hub, as well as more units in another building on Major Mackenzie Drive East. There is much awareness made about homeless youths, but it would seem there is a crisis to provide lowincome seniors with affordable accommodation in Richmond Hill and York.

Nails, Paint and Wills I have been a wills lawyer with Fish and Associates since 1989. Before I became a lawyer, I worked in my family hardware store on Eglinton Avenue. I worked there in my teen years and in my early twenties together with my late father Jack and my late brother Joel. I have wonderful memories of people coming into buy items for their cherished family home. We knew most of our customers and their children by name. Our little store was a place where parents would come in with their children, share stories and make sure that the family home was well cared for with fertilizer, grass seed, paint, brass and silver cleaner etc. Looking back, it now seems like something out of a movie something, too perfect to last. When I became a wills lawyer, I saw a different side of life. Families fighting over inheritance, siblings not talking to each other and greed galore. I’ve heard comments like “next time you speak to my brother, please tell him how much I hate him or don’t refer to her as my sister, please call her my mother’s other child.” One story brings it all to light. After my brother passed away in 2012, I had to close down my beloved hardware store. It broke my heart that this store, that had been started by my father in 1955 would now be nothing but four walls. As I was cleaning out the store, I noticed a man walking by who I had not seen since I worked there back in the early eighties. I remembered his father and his mother. They had been loyal customers of our store. It seemed that every weekend they were in our store buying something for their family home. I remember how proud they were of their children’s accomplishments and how lovingly they talked about their family. My late dad always talked about that family like the Cleavers on Leave It To Beaver. In other words, they were the “perfect family.” I ran out of the store to talk to this gentleman who was now in his mid fifties. When I asked him how his dad was, he said that his dad had passed away a few years ago and that his mom had recently passed away. When I said I’m sorry, he thanked me. When I asked how his siblings were doing, he said “I don’t know, I hate them. I never see them. I just talk to them through lawyers. They are disgusting!” He said they
were fighting over the house. All of a sudden, I felt a chill. To his parents, it was a cherished family home, but, to him it was just a house, an asset worth money, I think his parents would be shocked to know that the home that they filled with love had become a cold hard asset. I think they would also be devastated to know that their children are fighting each other and will probably never speak to each other again. In my wills practice, I hear about so many families being destroyed, often over so little. For years I have appeared as a call in guest on radio and tv shows across North America. You can watch my CNN segment on www.leskotzer.com. Some of the calls I have received over the years are shocking. You would think that the hate I heard over the radio was directed at mortal enemies, but in fact, it was directed at siblings, children, parents and other family members. I often say that I think I’ve heard it all, until I get the next call. From my experience as a wills lawyer since 1989 here are some suggestions that may help you and your family: 1. Firstly, it is important to make a will that sets out your wishes. Without a will, the law decides who inherits your assets. Your child who is your caregiver gets no more than the child who hasn’t seen you in twenty years. Furthermore, without a will, there is no executor in place to look after your estate immediately upon your death. In future columns, I will discuss what happens to your estate, if you pass away without a will. 2. Make sure you review your will on an on going basis to make sure that it is up to date and not a recipe for a family battle. Your will should be a living, breathing document that reflects your current life situation. In my practice, I do free will reviews, and I am shocked that so many people come in with wills that have not been looked at since the 60’s, 70’s and 80’s. Some of these wills have executors that have long passed, assets named in the will that no longer exist and children that were born after the date of the will that were not named in the will. These are only a few of the problems I have found in the wills that I have reviewed. 3. Don’t assume that your children will work it all out when you pass away. If

Encourage activity in kids to set them free for life It is no secret that inactivity is an epidemic among Canadian children. According to a federal government report, only 9 per cent of kids aged five to 17, get the recommended 60 minutes of daily physical activity. This has both short- and long-term consequences, the most obvious being a growing population of unhealthy Canadians. Would you like to join others in an initiative to do something about it? It is true that the benefits of being active span beyond physical health. Participating in sport helps children learn important life skills – like discipline, confidence, and teamwork – and it provides an environment to foster self-esteem and overcome
perceived limitations. Learning these skills early creates a strong foundation. In other words, sports equip kids for life. “Unfortunately, some kids miss out on these opportunities simply because of the costs associated with organized sport, “says Landon French, president of Canadian Tire Jumpstart Charities. “Our organization which includes 2,400 community partners across Canada, is looking to remedy the issue of cost. In fact, since 2005 we have helped over one million kids get into sports and physical activity.” A great way to help kids get active, says French,
is by encouraging them with programs they enjoy. Dreams of playing in the NHL, or representing Canada at the Olympic Games may be a motivator for some children, but many others value fitness, fun, making friends, or team building more than competition. Finding the right activity will help foster a lifelong love for the sport. “Physical activity is an essential building block in a child’s development, and we want to ensure that every kid has an equal opportunity to play,” French continues. “We provide funding for dozens of different activities so children can be active in a way that is fun for them. This way, they are more likely to be active for life.”

The long simmering feud involving taxpayers, emergency response budgets and car insurance premiums has opened a new battlefront, with personal injury lawyers now angry at York Regional Police, which is attempting to trim its budget. Last month, by mere happenstance, York Region lawyer Heikki Cox-Kikkajoon looked through a stack of bills and came across a police accident report invoice from YRP for more than $500. “I couldn’t believe it,” he said. “It really burned me under the collar.” The bill was for a document Barrie-based Cox-Kikkajoon had ordered in relation to a relatively minor car crash that occurred on Leslie Street in Newmarket in 2015. Instead of the customary $43 charge he said he continues to receive from the OPP’s Aurora detachment, this York police motor vehicle accident report was $553.70. Cox-Kikkajoon said what upset him more than anything else was what he considered to be the simplicity of the document the police were charging that kind of money for. “I am questioning the actual cost,” he said. “How did they come up with that cost?” The one-page accident report, which involves an “eight-centimetre by 10-centimetre” diagram and information, including which direction the vehicles were travelling, would likely take 30 minutes to fill out, but certainly no more than an hour, Cox-Kikka-
joon said. The document is a standard provincial report that all police forces are mandated to complete in a timely manner following attendance at or investigation of a car crash. This report differs greatly from a “levelfour” reconstruction report, which is completed when there is a major crash involving significant injury or death, leading to closed roads, Cox-Kikkajoon said. “Those reports are pivotal and it costs a lot,” he said. “In those documents, they analyze skid marks and do detailed study, gleaning speed and witness reports. I don’t mind paying money for them, but this is different.” York police insists it is simply trying to recover an ever-increasing cost through avenues other than the region’s taxpayers, essentially saying motorists should cover the costs of car crashes, rather than the entire tax base. The $490 fee, plus HST, “accurately reflects the cost of investigating and administering” the reports, according to a statement from York police. “A report investigated by the major collision investigation unit includes scene measurements, field sketches and notes, vehicle crush measurements, scale diagrams, speed, time and distance calculations, opinions and conclusions,” it adds. However, Cox-Kikkjoon says these sorts of costs are too much burden to put on those who suffer from collisions and, at the end of the day, all motorists are likely to bear
the brunt. “Someone bears the cost,” he said. “At the end of the day, it comes back to the people who pay insurance costs.” The rise in price was implemented at a York Regional Police Services Board meeting in late 2015, as both the police and regional chairperson Wayne Emmerson took steps to keep the police budget increase less than 3 per cent. York police, whose budget will reach $300 million in 2017, said they’d been losing millions of dollars a year writing up mandated

reports for insurance companies that were going unused. It was during this meeting that Emmerson told the board he could not support a 3.7-per-cent budget increase, insisting more savings needed to be found. “We’re going to have to find some funding,” he said. The police force was not done with accident reports, also deciding to start charging homeowners for each false alarm that requires police to attend a residence.

Thornhill paramedic earns provincial award for bravery
Thornhill’s Shachar Gabay was recognized for helping save a driver, who was trapped in a burning vehicle.

Shachar Gabay of Thornhill is one of 21 paramedics who last week were presented an Ontario Award for Paramedic Bravery. “Shachar Gabay’s story is one of courage, selflessness and heroism. His humility and bravery in that time of need speaks to his incredible commitment to service and public safety. Lives were saved because of his actions, and for that, I congratulate him,” said Steven Del Duca, MPP for Vaughan, at last Thursday’s presentation. On March 30, 2015, paramedic Gabay and his partner received a call about a driver who had crashed into a tree and was possibly trapped. With the engine compartment already on fire, Gabay entered the vehicle from the back seat, unfastened the driver’s seatbelt, and pulled the driver outside, just as the car became totally engulfed in flames. “I’m proud to honor these outstanding paramedics through Ontario’s Award for Paramedic Bravery,” said Dr. Eric Hoskins, Minister of Health and Long-Term Care. “ “This award reflects our recognition of paramedics’ exceptional commitment to their communities, our appreciation for their courage, and our gratitude for their selfless
service,” Dr. Hoskins said. At the second annual Ontario Award for Paramedic Bravery ceremony at Queen’s Park May 12, paramedics received awards for their acts of exceptional courage — performed on the job or off-duty — in the face of grave, personal danger.
QUICK FACTS ABOUT PARAMEDICS • In Ontario, there are three types of paramedics: primary care, advanced care and critical care. • Paramedics can work for land-based or air ambulance organizations. • Paramedics undertake rigorous preservice training through a two-year college or university training program and are regulated by the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care.

Thornhill MPP Gila Martow came one step closer to helping people who use handicapped parking earlier this month. On May 5, she promoted and debated her private member’s bill, Bill 187: Commission of Inquiry into Accessible Parking in Municipalities Act, 2016, in the Ontario Legislature and it passed second reading. It aims to create a taskforce of municipal representatives and stakeholders to agree upon streamlined accessible parking regulations. “People have enough challenges. They shouldn’t carry a stack of papers with different rules from different municipalities,” Mar-
tow said, adding that all accessibility groups should discuss with municipalities how they can streamline the rules for accessible parking or ensure rules are clearly posted. Following one of Martow’s Facebook posts on the topic, Toronto resident Dave Slotnick posted this comment: “I do have a disabled permit, my concern is not enough parking spots allocated at certain businesses!” Martow agrees there is a need for more spots. “We need to get through to developers and politicians — they are not giving enough spots,” she said. “Handicap parking rules are inconsistent across the province and accessible parking permit fraud is an ongoing problem. Thousands
of residents who struggle with mobility issues should not have to deal with the additional burdens of complex rules, inconsistent regulations and fraudsters.” Over the past few months, Martow’s bill has gained support from a number of Ontarians who deal with accessible parking issues on a daily basis. Many helped shed light on the challenges faced with conflicting rules and the improper use of parking permits, she said.

“We need to sit down — all the accessibility groups — and have discussions with municipalities on how best to streamline and, where possible, have the same rules,” added Martow. “It shouldn’t be that the rules south of Steeles or north of Steeles are so vastly different. Accessible parking needs to be accessible!” After passing second reading with support from all three parties, the bill was referred to the Justice Policy Committee for review.

Auction to support, find homes for cats starts June 1 You can soon help abandoned cats while you shop. The Markham animal advisory committee is hosting an online auction to help support the Cat Adoption and Education Centre (CAEC), located in the Thornhill Community Centre and Library. The city’s cat adoption centre opened earlier this year and is home to more than a dozen cats, ready and waiting to be adopted. The cats are spayed or neutered and vaccinated. The auction will feature items such as designer fashion accessories and jewelry, art collections, attraction and theatre tickets, rounds of golf, electronics and restaurant gift certificates. Proceeds will help support programs run through the city’s animal advisory committee, including a feral cat program and the CAEC, said committee chairperson Denielle Duncan. Bidding starts June 1 and runs to June 30. The committee has been pushing for a local adoption centre for years, Duncan said, and through the centre, run by contracted OSPCA staff, more Markham cats are finding a home. “The adoption rate is higher than ever before,” she said. “The more cats adopted — the less are euthanized.” For more information or to take a sneak peek at auction items, visit markhamacc2016.eflea.ca — Amanda Persico

Camaro ZL1’s Hydra-Matic transmission is a ‘Perfect 10’ With faster upshifts than a dual-clutch transmission and a wider overall gear ratio spread to optimize performance and efficiency, the all-new available Hydra-Matic 10-speed automatic transmission sets a new performance standard in the 2017 Camaro ZL1 and raises the bar for the segment. The ZL1 is expected to be the first volume production car to offer a 10-speed automatic. It builds on the established legacy of Hydra-Matic eightspeed transmission family offered on other Gen Six Camaro models, to deliver higher thresholds of capability, refinement and efficiency. The greater overall performance and efficiency are due primarily to the 10-speed’s wider 7.39 overall gear ratio spread, which enhances off-the-line performance with an aggressive first gear ratio of 4.70. Smaller steps between the gears also help the engine maintain the optimal speed for maximum power at almost all vehicle speeds, especially when exiting a corner on a track. Chevrolet testing has shown the ZL1 with the available 10-speed has faster shift times than the Porsche PDK dual-clutch transmission. In fact, the 1-2 upshift is 36 per cent quicker than the PDK, while the 2-3 and 3-4 upshifts are 27 per cent and 26 per cent quicker, respectively.

MARRETTA, Gioacchino May 11, 2016 “Jack” passed away peacefully on Wednesday May 11, 2016 at Mackenzie Health Centre at age 68. Beloved son of Amelia and the late Carlo. Jack is survived by his cousins Rina (Joe De Donato, Samantha & Sarah) and Angela McNeil (Alexandra). Jack was a long time resident of Richmond Hill and a teacher at St. Peter’s in Woodbridge for over 30 years. Jack loved animals and had a special place in his heart for his two cats Chippy and Boots. Jack will be sadly missed by many of his friends, fellow teachers and students. The family will receive friends at the HOLY CROSS CATHOLIC FUNERAL HOME 211 Langstaff Road East (west of Bayview Ave.) from 4:00 pm to 8:00 pm on Friday May 20, 2016. A mass of Christian burial will take place within the funeral home in the Chapel of St. Joseph on Saturday May 21, 2016 at 11:30 am. The final rite of committal will take place at Holy Cross Catholic Cemetery (8361 Yonge St., Thornhill). If desired, donations may be made to the Richmond Hill Food Bank, The Humane Society or Canadian Cancer Society. Online condolences & directions may be found at www.catholic-cemeteries.com
