Condolences & Memories (7 entries)

• My Uncle Moe, was a true gentleman. He was also my Godfather. He was kind, gentle, and compassionate. I loved him dearly. When I was a little child I spent alot of quality time at his home. I always looked forward to seeing my Uncle Moe. I miss your presence here. I will always love you. Till we meet again!! XOXO - Posted by: Janet Harrow-Courcelles (Neice) on: Mar 19, 2017

• It was with sadness that I learned of your Dad's/Grandpa's passing. My Mom and Moe used to share a table at River Park South. Every time I visited Mom, I would say hello to him and he never failed to look at me, and give me the "ok" sign (index finger and thumb to make a circle). He was always quiet, never looked upset or angry, and I only wish I had known him at a better time. We used to get a chuckle out of the fact that my mom, every now and again would scold him, but he never reacted. I so remember when the Olympics came on tv, the entire staff cheered and felt honoured to have "Moe" their hero, amongst them. Thoughts and prayers are with you at this time....Angie's daughters. - Posted by: Carol Almey () on: Feb 12, 2013

• Gramps was such a kind and loving man. He taught me unconditional love. He walked me down the aisle when I married Paul and was always there with a smile on his face or tears of joy in his eyes. He was always open for new adventures. He took so much interest in our son and all his sports. I always felt so special and loved around him. I hope in my life that I can pass that love and kindness that Gramps gave to me so freely on to others. As all my sisters said before me... Thank you Camyre Family for sharing Gramps and Grandma with all of us here in California, they both will forever be in our hearts. - Posted by: Terri Hunt (Adopted Granddaughter) on: Jan 21, 2013

• Gramps was a wonderful man! I loved him so much. His joyful smile, and passion for living ignites my heart's joyfulness. Gramps loved to dance and would do the boxing shuffle as we'd dance during family functions in California for my Mom's (Louise Tucker) 50th Birthday celebration and Paul Hunt's (brother-in-law) swingin birthday dance party in a corner malt shop in Orange County California are a couple of fond memories of the youthful fun He and Polly shared with us. I love you Gramps! You will always be in my heart. - Posted by: Debbie Haun (Granddaughter) on: Jan 20, 2013

• Maurice was a lovely, kind, compassionate man who helped out whenever he could. I in particular remember one special time when having blew the motor in my vehicle Maurice, Cy(my father) and myself were in a panic to get the motor back in my car so I could enjoy a date with his daughter. Maurice was a mild to no temper man and loved his girls dearly. This was evident in the way he always held the coats for his harem of girls daughters and Polly) as well as helping with all the winter boots etc. Who could follow in this man's footsteps. God bless you Maurice and family as you are all a part of this gracious man. Ray Dirckx. - Posted by: Ray Dirckx. Edmonton AB. (Friend and admirerer.) on: Jan 20, 2013

• Grandma and Grandpa Camyre opened their hearts and home to my mother when she was just a little girl in the 1940s. She babysat for their girls and, after marrying and moving to California with our father, they kept in touch until years later, after retiring from Air Canada, they started coming to California regularly. They blessed us as the grandparents we never had through so many years. We have beautiful blankets they lovingly made each one of us and many many memories of special events like graduations and wedding with Gram and Gramps cheerfully participating and loving us! My sister asked Gramps to give her away at her wedding; I wish I had done the same. So many laughs and caring talks and gestures by these two wonderful people flood my mind as I remember back. I want to thank all of Gram and Gramps' family for sharing these two exceptional people with all of us, Louise's (Vee's) family, all those years. I miss your mom/grandma's giggle and twinkle in her eye and your dad/grandpa's calling us 'honeybunch" with his gentlemanly smile and charm. I so hope to dance with them again someday. Love and comfort to you all. Cathie - Posted by: Cathie Shaffer ('Adopted' Grandaughter) on: Jan 20, 2013

• Gramps was known for calling us Honeybunch". I so miss his lip smacking and sweet disposition! He taught me cribbage and how to make an afghan! I will miss him terribly as the only grandfather I ever knew! Love to you Gramps! - Posted by: Julia Tipolt ("adopted" granddaughter) on: Jan 20, 2013
