Loving husband of Linda Wylie, and proud father of Kerra Wylie (Michel Horne), Lisa Blake and stepdaughter, Heather Lockhart. Grand- children Gabriel Coutu and Russell Horne (Chelsea Gateley) miss him dearly. Garnet graduated from General Motors Institute (GMI) in Flint, Michigan, with a Bachelor of Mechanical Engineering in 1964, and embarked upon a 39-year career with GM of Canada's Car Assembly Plant. His fellow Phi Kappa Epsilon fraternity brothers have remained lifelong friends. His engineering background shone through in his DIY attitude, which kept him happily busy around his home and property. Outside of work, Garnet enjoyed his Friday night poker, downhill skiing with his girls, ice skating on the Whitby Marsh and playing catch in the yard. He and Linda loved to dine out and visit with their friends and family. Following his retirement in 1998, Garnet was able to more avidly pursue duplicate bridge and golf at the Oshawa Golf and Curling Club. The family extends our gratitude and appreciation to the numerous caring staff at Faith Place Day Program and Lakeridge Health (Whitby, Oshawa and Ajax).

Beloved husband and best friend of Rikki, proud father of Astrid (Mark), Edward (Nancy), Monique (Brent), and Jason (Cheryl), much-loved Opa to Quintin, Austin, Cassidy, Monique, Taylor, Dawson and Logan. Ad was born in Tilburg, The Netherlands. Optimistic and adventurous, he left The Netherlands for Canada in 1963. Three months later, he brought the love of his life, Rikki, to Canada too. They married in 1964 in Toronto and began a life of many accomplishments. A dedicated husband and family man, Ad was known to put his family first, always. He had a natural talent for entertaining, cuisine, and business which led him to great success in the hospitality industry. His home was full of love and laughter; everyone was welcome. Ad was diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease in 2002. Presented with many challenges, his will to survive and remain positive was extraordinary. He could often be heard saying, "Tomorrow is a new day!" His love for life and kind personality fostered many great memories that will forever be instilled in the hearts of others. In lieu of flowers, and in memory of "Stippy", please pay it forward with a simple act of kindness to a friend, a loved one, a stranger.

Lucia, better known as "Lucy," was born Dec 13, 1934, in Veroli, Italy. She immigrated to Canada in 1953 as a young woman in her early 20's with her parents, Santino and Gina and younger siblings Pasquale and Giulio. It was here that she met her beloved partner for life, Mike Labriola, and was married to him for 68 years. She was the proud mother of Adeline (Pelosi) and was even more proud to be called "Nonna Cia" by her two granddaughters, Marilu (Marshall) and Laura (Franco). She will also be missed by her great grandchildren Tommy, Charlie, and Henry (Marshall) and Isabella and Jamie (Franco) who knew her by no other name than "Nonna Cia". Sadly, missed by her brothers Giulio/Tony (Mary), Pasquale/ Pat (Marisa)and her sister Filomena (Fiorino deceased) of Veroli, Italy and loved by nieces, nephews, and friends. Lucy was a woman who was immensely proud to live in Canada and from the day she landed here, she worked extremely hard to help provide for her daughter. Lucy enjoyed hours upon hours working in her garden growing her tomatoes and bountiful bright green basil. She could be found in her kitchen, with her back turned, at the stove, stirring a huge pot of sauce, always ready and waiting for all the visitors, who always left with full tummies of wine and pasta and the latest new stories. Lucy will now be able to reunite with Mike where they can eat their cereal with coffee, and prosciutto and cheese and he will be waiting for her at the pearly gates in a shiny red Ferrari! Visitation will be held on Tuesday May 31, 2022, from 4 - 8 p.m. Mass of Christian Burial will be held at HOLY FAMILY CATHOLIC CHURCH, 91 Ribblesdale Drive, Whitby on Wednesday June 1, 2022, at 10:30 a.m. Interment to follow at Resurrection Cemetery.

Gone is the face we loved so dear, silent is the voice we loved to hear; too far away for sight or speech, but not too far for thought to reach, sweet to remember you who once was here, and who, though absent, is just as dear. May the winds of love blow softly and whisper so you'll hear; we will always love and miss you and wish that you were here. We are sad within our memory, lonely are our hearts today; for the one we loved so dearly has forever been called away. We think of you in silence, no eye may see us weep; but many silent tears are shed when others are asleep. Do not stand at my grave and weep, I am not there, I do not sleep, I am a thousand winds that blow, I am the diamond glint on snow, I am the sunlight on ripened grain, I am the gentle autumn's rain. When you awaken in the morning hush, I am the swift uplifting rush, of quiet birds in circled flight, I am the soft stars that shine at night. Do not stand at my grave and cry, I am not there, I did not die.
