sending my love and prayers,
I can only imagine there is something special that my dad and uncle malcolm have, that keeps them close, even beyond life itself. Who is to question why things happen as they do, but to remember when they do happen, that we are all connected. And when the people who have made these connections are gone, how prominent we feel them. I hope that I will be in touch with my cousins and my family in the future more often. Uncle Malcolm always brought a smile to my face, and I remember having lots of fun and laughter as a kid, especially. Like the time he wore his business suit to the waterfall at the lake and we showed him how we play in the water and walk down the waterfall, and we were all shocked when he jumped in still dressed in his suit and joined us. The most recent time I saw him, was also at the water sitting at Galena hogging my uncle all to myself, just fishing. Talking about life... (he was wearing a tilly hat and a shirt and golf shorts, with argyle socks to his knees, and top siders shoes). I dont know why, but it was still funny. I guess I expected a suit!
Uncle Malcolm was remembered in the mass prayers at St. Michael's Cathedral in Toronto Ontario.
I send lots of love to him, and to the family he loves.

I wish to send my sincerest thanks and gratitude to the many people who have stated and shown their love and support for my father and family. My father's death is a shock to us all. He has accomplished so much, and yet had so much left to do.
He dedicated most of his professional life to understanding the greatest universe of all, the human mind. Like others in his profession, the questions and answers prove alluring and elusive. I don't know if the mental illness that afflicts my brothers Sean and Brendan was the driving force behind his efforts, but he helped a lot of people along the way.
I believe my father is truly in peace. I don't know whether that peace means knowing all that there is to know about the human condition, but I do hope that it means he is freely walking hand in hand with the Lord through the vastness of the universe he dedicated his life to. One day I will grasp his hand again.
God Bless you all.

Dear Joanie, Sean, Ciaran, Declan and Brendan,
I can't begin to tell you how much Uncle Malcolm and you all mean to me and my family.
Peter really enjoyed all the fishing conversations. Most of them lies, as you can imagine.
Caden just wanted to tell him what he was doing that very minute. I loved to know that he was able to talk to Pappa's brother.
I loved that when I hugged him, he felt so much like Dad. I could talk to him like I talked to Dad, he was open to anything, imaginative, so funny, very loving, so creative and most of all, one of the best uncles ever. I have so many wonderful memories of us all having fun with Uncle Malcolm, I miss him terribly.
We love you all very much.
Love Sanchia, Peter and Caden.

To Dr. cooper and family:
You will be truly missed. I admired your assertiveness of hard work. You were a true enthusiasts of getting work done. For those of whom don't really know me. I was the Trancriptist and part research person for Dr. Cooper at the University of Chicago Hospital in the Nuclear Medicine department. I still can remeber him saying "I want soultions not problems". I owe part of my assertiveness and Professionalism to you Dr. Cooper. If it had not been for your aggressive demand of the transcription reports and research data, I would not be one of the most fastest and accurate medical transcriptist today!
