John came to Canada from Poland when he was nine years old with his mother, Valeria, and sister Marion, to join his father Felix, who immigrated previously and worked hard to provide a safe Canadian home. In John's career, as a talented and innovative metallurgist, he owned and operated Trafalgar Collision Service in Oakville. He was a talented artist who not only painted, but also hand crafted fine furniture and knives with exotic wood handles. He was past president of the Oakville Kiwanis Club, and founder of the Oakville Track and Field Club for high school students. He was an enthusiastic member of the Ontario Racket Club, where he enjoyed competitive tennis. John was a faithful parishioner of Saint Andrews Roman Catholic Church in Oakville for over 50 years. John and Cesia travelled the world and enjoyed music, theatre, and art. John was able to realize his childhood dream of flying and eventually owned his own Cessna. He flew with friends and his sons to Yukon and across Canada. He was also an avid fisherman and bird hunter. John, you were an inspiration to all of us and we love you and will miss you. Rest in peace in the heavenly garden of our Lord. KERR, Danielle ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Suddenly, at her residence in Hamilton, on Friday April 30, 2020, Danielle "Danny" Lori Kerr, age 48.

She will be terribly missed by her sisters, brother, nieces, nephews, cousins and friends from across the world. Joan was a world traveler, being born in a small town in Malaysia, living and working in the metropolitan city of Singapore before making the move to Toronto with her loving husband Bob and finally settling in Oakville. She has answered Bob's call and is now with him in the heavens above. A kindhearted soul, Joan also loved music and cooking and would break out in song while putting her latest culinary creations together. She also brought a cheer to any and everyone around with her wicked sense of humor. A thank you goes out to the staff at the Complex Transitional Care Department of Oakville Trafalgar Memorial Hospital, as well as Thistlecreek Health Care Inc, with special mentions to Monika, Barbara and Donna for all their assistance. Thanks to Joan's many friends, especially Tina who provided comfort and support during her recent illness. Also, a special thanks to Francine Rousseau and her husband Michael for all their help during these difficult times. Without your invaluable assistance we would not have been able to have provided Joan with the care she received. A celebration of Joan's life will take place at a future date once circumstances permit. OBITUARIES | REMEMBERING THE LIVES OF THOSE IN OUR COMMUNITY The rolling stream of life rolls on. But still the vacant chair recalls the love, the voice, the smile of the one who once sat there. There is a link death cannot sever, love and remembrance last forever. 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. Always so good, unselfish and kind, none on this earth your equal I'll find. Honourable and true in all your ways, loving and faithful to the end of your days, honest and liberal, ever upright, just in your judgment, always right; loved by your friends and all whom you knew, one in a million, that person was you. One year has passed, our hearts still sore, as time rolls on we miss you more; a loving person, tender and kind, what beautiful memories you left behind. And have you gone, forever gone and left us here to weep. Till we are called to follow you, and in the grave to sleep; yet since you could no longer stay to cheer us with your love, we hope to meet with you again in the bright world above. What would I give to clasp your hand, your happy face to see. OBITUARIES
