The McKillop Family:
My deepest sympathy to you all on your loss.
Elroy and Margaret were friends of my parents (Babs & Lorne Finley) and part of a wonderfully active bunch from Bethany Church… whether it was going for lunch each week after Sunday service, taking in the latest production from the Bedford Players, Birthday parties or the annual Canada Day lunch… they were usually organized or co-organized by Elroy!
…After Margaret and my parents passed, I was lucky to get to know Elroy personally… as did some of my friends (collectively known as ‘the knitting club’). Last December , when Covid threatened to cancel our annual ‘Secret Santa’ get together, a pivot to the Zoom platform allowed us to include Elroy in the festivities and make him our first ‘honourary member’ of the Knitting Club!
In early Sept., I contacted Bev and Elroy to ask if a small contingent from the ‘Club’ would be able to come for a visit… their quick response back was ‘How about coming tonight’??? So off we went…strawberry milkshakes in hand… and spent our Friday evening together… Lots of laughter and a few tears…. And indelible memories of our friend, Elroy… May he Rest in Peace.
