1974-2021 There are no words that can truly express the deep sadness and hole left in our hearts and lives with Sean’s sudden passing on Thursday, August 26, 2021. He was the loving husband, best friend and biggest support to Kimberly. He was a incredibly loving, compassionate, patient, outstanding, and unique father to Kalen and Leah, whom he referred to as “the boy” and “the girl” so that one day when his memory was failing they wouldn’t notice. He often told them they were in his top 17 most favorite people. Sean was the oldest child of Paul and Mary MacMillan of Mount Forest, the annoying but protective brother to Taunia (Mark Neilsen) of Mount Forest, and Amanda (Tyrone Goveas) of Kitchener. He was a great son-in-law to Lyle and Kathy Bender of Mount Forest. He was the supportive brother-in-law to Kelly Bender of Kitchener, and Kevin Bender (Manda) of Holstein. He was a role model for his nephews Jaxsen, Oliver, James, Tyler, Jack and niece Victoria. Sean started a career as a child and youth worker, then transitioned into teaching, which he always thought would have raised a few eye brows of his former elementary school teachers. Working at St. Francis of Assisi in Guelph, he made an impact as the only male teacher on staff amongst an amazing group of women. He wanted learning to be fun in Grade 4, the “best grade ever”, where each year he tried to convince his students that he had never made a mistake or at least since 1986. Involved in different extracurricular activities, Sean especially enjoyed the excitement of those participating in chess club. He was a loyal friend to an incredible number of people from curling, da boys from work and MoFo. Individually and in groups they have created ridiculous and crazy memories of time spent together cottaging, curling, golfing, hunting, fishing, attending sporting events and concerts. If asked, Sean would admit to being an encourager, but never the instigator in any of the mischief they found. A most sincere thank you goes out to our cottage neighbors John and Lillian Ross, and remarkable friends Chris and Lisa Mills, Cliff Moore for their help in our time of need. To our extended family, thank you for your love and support through this most difficult time. Visitation will be held at Turner Family Funeral Home, 53 Main St., Dundas Ont. on Thursday September 2nd, from 2:00 p.m. – 4:00 p.m. and from 6:00 p.m. – 8:00 p.m. Covid protocols and masks are required. In lieu of flowers, please consider making a donation to mability.ca, a fund set up to support our friends’ daughter’s journey dealing with cerebral palsy. Alternatively, a charity of your choice would also be appreciated. A final farewell party will be held at a latter date. Location to be determined.

It is with great sadness that our family announce the passing of Larry Cecil Jones, peacefully at the Juravinski Hospital after a short but courageous battle with cancer on August 22, 2021, at the age of 61. He will be lovingly remembered by his wife Jennifer (nee Hood), of almost 29 years, and three children Nicholas, Jordann and Emily. Caring son to Eric and Beverly (predeceased), brothers Ray (Allison), Ron (Wendy) and sisters Brenda (Michel) and Glenda (Christopher). Larry will be greatly missed by his extended family, including his in-laws many nephews, nieces, friends, and colleagues.
Larry was always committed to living a very active lifestyle and was an avid cyclist and sports enthusiast. He passed on his joy of being active to his children whether he was cycling, coaching hockey or roller blading with his family. He was a very invested Dad who did everything to always be present in his children’s lives.
Larry had many hobbies alongside his active lifestyle and was very inquisitive by nature. He was a “do it yourselfer” on many projects, enjoyed fixing cars, loved music and photography and was fondly known as the family technical guru.

January 6, 1950 – August 16, 2021 Stella left us unexpectedly but peacefully, beside the love of her life in beautiful North Bay, Ontario. It is so difficult to capture the force that was Stella in a few sentences, but here goes.
Stella was the wife of Bill for 48 years – a partnership that anyone recognized as full of love, laughs, and true friendship. She was loving mama and mom-in-law to Jessica and BJ, Gemma and Benjamin, and Rebecca and Joseph. She was the loving daughter of her parents (predeceased), Joseph and Agnes Campbell.
An adored nana to five grandchildren: Mia, Will, Anastasia, Gabriel, and Otis; sister and sister-in-law to Brian (predeceased) and Josephine, Gemma and Joao (predeceased), Lorna (predeceased), John and Laima, Alex and Marina, Joseph and Helen, Paul and Lorraine, Mary and Peter, Mike and Jean, and Martin and Terry; and kick-ass aunt to Karen, Janice, and countless beauties from the Campbell Clan. She had friendships that many are not lucky enough to have, bound by respect, trust and a shared lust for life.
Stella made her mark in more ways than one. People wanted to be with her. She was warm. She was loving. She listened. She enjoyed the little things from a good coffee, to baking for her daughters, to turning her music up to 11, to curling up with a book. She was positive, never complaining about all the crap that life can dole out. She wasn’t afraid to say what she thought, but was humble, and never imposed her opinion on others (unless correcting the factual data of a story being told by Bill:). She was a go-to source of reason, and an anchor for her friends and family.
Stella was wiser than they come, and shaped the experiences and learning of family, friends, and students. She really liked teaching young children – a journey she began shortly after arriving in Canada from Scotland at the age of 18. She got such joy from witnessing how little ones behave, think, and go about their day moment to moment. Children in her presence felt safe, secure and loved. She instilled confidence and provided a compass for so many.
Most of all, our Stella led life boldly, on her own terms, truly living it to the fullest. Though she left us too soon, we feel her presence and love all around us. We can only hope to carry her beauty onwards as we move forward in this life. Darling Stella, in the words of Maya Angelou: “I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”
In keeping with Stella’s wishes, a private celebration of life will be held with close family and friends. In lieu of flowers please consider donating to The Good Shepherd or Food4Kids Hamilton
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Richard (Dick) on August 7th. Predeceased by his parents Violet and Samuel Walters. Loving husband of Judy. Proud father of Elizabeth (Rick) Marinelli, David (Anne) and Richard (Amanda). He loved his 7 grandchildren, Sam, Richard, Mike, Abby, Tom, Jason and Spencer and always enjoyed hearing of their achievements and aspirations on their visits. Very recently he was so pleased to be able to greet his new great grand-daughter Charlotte. Will be kindly remembered by his sister-in-law Arlene Book and her family.
Dick’s career initiated at United Gas and culminated as President of Origin and Cause (Fire Investigating).
Travelling with friends and having great New Year’s Eve dinner parties were very fond memories for Dick. Over the years, he had numerous fishing trips with a number of fishing buddies.
Special thanks go to Dr. N. Hambly at the Firestone Respirology Unit, St. Joseph’s Hospital and Dr. R. Black, Family Doctor. The family also really appreciated the compassionate care given by the St. Joseph’s Home Care team, especially Joanne. Special thank you to the Hamilton Family Health Palliative Care Team.
Cremation has taken place. There will be a visitation at Turner Funeral Home, 53 Main Street, Dundas, on Wednesday, August 18th from 11 am – 1:30 pm followed by a short service.

Passed away peacefully on August 5, 2021 at Alexander Place, Waterdown, at 97 years young. Her parents Mary and Charles Taylor left England to settle their young family of four children in Hamilton, Ontario.
Dorothy lost her mother at an early age and her sister Ann assumed a protective role. They treasured a close friendship for the remainder of their lives together, sharing a positive attitude toward life. Dorothy was a loving wife to Gordon who she married in 1959. They enjoyed travel, playing cards, kibitzing and happily sharing kitchen duties. Dorothy was predeceased by husband Gordon, sister Ann and brothers William and Charlie.
Dorothy was an extraordinary career woman, spending over 40 years working for the T. Eaton Co in Hamilton and Burlington. While at Eaton’s in Hamilton, Dorothy managed the basement floor and the toy department, much to the delight of her nieces and nephews. At the Burlington home, Dorothy valued close neighbours. Annually, her vegetable garden produced delicious chili sauce. One of her favourite activities was trips with friends to casinos. After Gordon’s passing, she quite capably maintained her home until into her 90s when she moved to a retirement home.
Kind and generous, Dorothy will be sadly missed and fondly remembered by her nieces Donna (Terry), Kathryn and Andrea, by her nephews Michael and Jim and by her great-nieces Tara (Greg), Darcie, Whitney, Carly, Kristy (Kurtis), Sarah (Scott), great nephew Drew and dear friends. Nieces and great nieces living in the Burlington area were privileged to enjoy many events and celebrations with Aunt Dorothy and opportunities to support her. There was always laughter, red wine and chocolate to be shared. Her passing has left an enormous hole in all of our hearts. The family wishes to express gratitude to the staff at Alexander Place for their loving care. If desired, donations may be made to Friends of Alexander Place at donations@friendsofap.com
Cremation has taken place. Information on a future celebration of life will be posted at https://turnerfamilyfuneralhome.ca. Please sign Dorothy’s online Book of Condolence at www.turnerfamilyfuneralhome.ca
A devoted husband, Father and “Wampa”, Roger Michael Janusc passed away July 28, 2021 in his 67th year. A man of thousand nicknames, “Big Rog” will be missed by his wife Terry, Mother Hildegard, and his children “Ray Babe”, “Herky Man”, and “Didder”, brother Gary and 7 grandchildren, Hudson, Tyson, Brayden, Griffin, Thorin, Bodie & Briar.
A Queens alumnus from the class of ’77 and a General Electric employee for 40 years, ‘Boomer’ was happily married for 43 years which was filled with stories, laughter, yardwork and debate which would often highlight his unique reasoning which his family fondly termed “Rogic”. For every nickname he had, those around him including family, friends, neighbors and all those he may pass on his daily dog walks were graced with nicknames of Roger’s choosing as well.
“Tractor Man” had a passion for completing yard work, most notably tasks that involved keeping ‘Big Rog’s pool’ in immaculate condition and included hosting annual opening and closing ceremonies. His life centred around hockey including coaching his children’s teams, and an extended playing career playing right up to his final years in the Beverly Men’s Hockey league, famously registering a natural hat trick that will forever be etched in his families’ memories and seemed to get better with time. More recently, time had also been spent perfecting his golf swing.
As busy as ‘Dodge’ was, he was always there for his family. For all the activities he participated in, he is best known for his ability to bring the family together with stories and laughter. His actions, habits and “Rogisms” are legendary for those who knew him, which was many. While he will be deeply missed, he will continue to be a big part of daily lives for years to come.
Family would like to acknowledge and thank all the professionals at HHS for their unbelievable care and support. A celebration of life will take place Thursday August 5th from 2-4 & 7-9 at the Turner Family Funeral Home, 53 Main St., Dundas. Private family service to take place at a later date. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the MitoCanada.
