Condolences & Memories (10 entries)

Fran, Walter and family. My condolences to all if you. I worked with Vaughn starting back in the Archway days. He was an amazing colleague and a good friend. He was someone you could count on doing a rush job with no worries, had great ideas, and when you were stressed, he could make you feel at ease. He was very generous and we often got together with a group after work at Earl's. I haven't seen him in a long while but when we would run into each other it was like time never passed. It's sad to think he is gone and I am sorry for your loss. - Posted by: Barb Tyrchniewicz (Co-worker and friend ) on: Oct 14, 2023

Glory to Jesus Christ! What a shock to hear! I remember him from Ukrainian Park Camp, as a counsellor - a gentle presence to the campers. Will commend his soul to the Lord in prayer, and will pray for you, his bereaved family. God be with you all at this painful time. Vichna jomu pamjat'! - Posted by: Sr. Christine Dudych, SSMI ((worked at camp with Vaughn)) on: Sep 23, 2023

Vaughn was one of the kindest, most generous spirited people that I ever had the privilege of calling my friend. He was loved and appreciated by so many people, and will be missed more than I can say. All my love and thoughts are with you at this difficult time.
