March 22, 1949 – January 23, 2016
Miro lost his battle to the universal forces that enlisted him on January 23, 2016. Terribly missed by wife and best friend, Jo-Anne Kershaw; beloved dog, Ellie; and by all who have a story to tell about their memorable and funny encounters with him. He fought long and hard and made sure that all who met him during these past few months would remember his fight. He was hugely loved by most, misunderstood by a few, and miserably let down by the medical profession. Charming, witty and uniquely intelligent, he was also enigmatic and sometimes reclusive, troubled by the dark memories that are often the plight of good police men and women. Over the course of a storied and colourful career with the Toronto Police Service, he helped put away some high profile criminals and put integrity first in all his dealings with the public. An accomplished pianist, he was also a lover of orchids and birds, butterflies and women. Predeceased by parents, Mary and Miro, and brother, Zdenek. Survived by brothers Milan and Jaro. In lieu of flowers or donations, Miro would ask that you offer a biscuit to a stranger’s dog, give cold water to the garbage man on a hot summer day, kibitz with the checkout girl, and throw some milkweed seed into the wind.
The universe needs you, Miro. You can’t do better than that. Je t’adore.
Celebration of life will be held on Friday, January 29, at 11 a.m. at Turner Family Funeral Home, 53 Main St., Dundas, Ontario.

AGNES FLEMING FRAME FROST
On January 12, 2016, on a cold and sparkling morning in Winnipeg, Agnes Fleming Frame Frost, in her 91st year, slipped peacefully from this world. She is reunited now with her beloved husband, Lorne and her eldest grandson, Matthew. Agnes was a wonderful mother and grandmother. She took great interest and had great pride in the activities and accomplishments of her children and grandchildren. She will be greatly missed by her son Rick and wife Nancy, her daughter Margaret and husband Bruce, her son Jim and her grandchildren, Ryan and Alison, Jonathan and Ashley, Sean and Andrea, Carolyn and Jeff, Justin and Sarah, Lorena Frost Barriere and many nieces and nephews. Agnes taught her great grandchildren, Reese, Heidi, Emma, Bridget, Samantha and Oscar to call her GG, short for Great Grandma. She loved their hugs and kisses and many drawings and homemade cards were tucked away to be enjoyed again.
Agnes had the joy of life. She was enthusiastic about all her activities and friends. Her Bridge and Euchre friends at the Seniors’ Club, her Bowling teammates, Bingo companions, as well as travelling friends, made her life full and enjoyable. She loved a good joke, outings anywhere, and a day trip to the casino. Those one armed bandits were her favourites! Agnes and Lorne were the original successful owners of Frosty’s Fish and Chips, and anyone who dropped into the store for take-out was treated to the best example of how to put customers first. Chatting and joking, they made their customers welcome and produced a delicious product. Together, Agnes and Lorne spent time traveling in Lorne’s Model T Ford antique cars, worked tirelessly for the Wentworth Pioneer Village, and enjoyed many an evening of square dancing. Agnes and Lorne loved the cottage at Red Bay and nothing was better than a game of cards with the family. We all learned early, “never send a boy to do a man’s job!” when playing cards with Agnes.
Agnes loved her football teams. At a Blue Bomber game in Winnipeg, she nearly had family members pitched from the game because she hollered (her word) loudly and relentlessly for her beloved Ti-Cats! Agnes was known to have locked family members out of the house if they came calling when an important game was on TV. She gave all of us many smiles and shaped the values of our family life.
It was a life well lived and we will miss her dearly. Rest in Peace, great lady.
Funeral Services for Agnes will be held at the Turner Family Funeral Home at 53 Main St. Dundas ON Monday January 18, 2016. Visiting will begin at 11:00 AM followed by the funeral service at 12:30 PM. Everyone is invited for refreshments following the service.
In celebration of Agnes’s life, donations may be made to the Dundas Museum and Archives, 139 Park St. W. Dundas, ON L9H 1X8 or a charity of your choice.
