Ene and Paul

Paul passed away.

Ladies and Gentleman,
Passing on sad news about Paul Readyhough passing away last night. Paul was a true gentleman, and taught many of us about coal, coke, pellets and Excel. I learned a great deal from Paul about all three, and he taught me some tricks in Excel I wished I’d learned earlier. Paul was very active in AIST, McMaster and my community.
Service will be at St Joseph’s Church – Paul was a very active member, helping in many ways. If you need parking – my drive is open at 83 Stanley Ave, space for a few, and we’re less than 1/2 a block from the Church.
Trust all is well with you all, hit me a bit hard, Paul had been sick since January. We lost a neighbor earlier this week – perhaps a reminder to give those you love an extra hug.

Reminder!

Hi Jock,

Hope things are going well. Just a reminder re the Breakfast on Wed Feb 1 at 9:00 AM.

The location has been changed to the Golden Griddle at 3485 Harvester Road, just west of Walkers line. Apple Annie’s had a fire and is closed for restorations.

If you could post this on your WEB Site, it would be much appreciated.

Thanks and hope to see you there.

Rick,
Blair indicated that you would like the information on Nick. He suffered a severe stroke on September 9, 2011. Initially, he was taken to the Mississauga Hospital for emergency care. Nick has paralysis on his right side and speech impairment. However, his mind is good! He did recognize me and does communicate. Both Dennis McCutcheon and I visited him yesterday. Currently, he is undergoing rehabilitation and is hospitalized at:

Oakville Trafalgar Memorial Hospital

R&D Retirees' Breakfast: Oct 6th 2010

Hi Jock,
Attached are the photos that I took with my old cell phone of our last get together for your R&D WEB site. Sorry for the poor quality. They were all very dark and I had to lighten them up a bit in order to see the people.
Sorry for the delay and hope and pray you are keeping healthy.
Take care,
Rick

I received this email today:

Hi Jock

You probably don't remember me, but I was one of the admins who joined in 1975 and left in 1979, now, god forbid I am 57 ....
any case I left to take care of my son on the right Cameron, two years followed by Craig. Jim my hubby of almost 35 years is to the very far right....

After a successful career as mother I went back to school, became a nurse and later a researcher. I run Global Clinical Trials now for Roche in Switzerland, who would have thunk.

My sister sent me the link to your blog, so I thought I would send a photo.

Cheers

And all the best to the old crew....
