Irene,
Please know how deeply sorry we are to hear about the passing of Chester. We have so many fond memories of him particularly from Turnbull’s Grove – Grandma J. loved him and spoke so highly of him; they certainly had a lot of good laughs together! Ches would always say to me “say HELLO to Dave” – always concerned for others. He will never be forgotten. Take good care Irene and keep in touch.
Love Dave & Clara McVittie
I’ve never had the opportunity to meet this man but his granddaughter Amanda McConnell (Barry’s daughter) is my best friend. My heart goes out to Barry and the entire family and to friends of his as well. May Chester rest well and may the family get through this tough time.
The family of Chester Mc Connell want to thank everyone for their condolences. Your thoughtfulness is greatly appreciated.

Dear Bill and family
Today , I had some special memories flash though my mine. Two days ago I subscribed to the London Free Press and today I noticed your Dads notice. I recognized his face. He has changed but not much in looks.
It is a life time away since you , your Mother Irene,Judy, Bob and Barry went to London. I hope your Mom is doing fine with life and it sounds like your family is o.k. with all the grandchildren and great grandchild.
As I am sure you are aware , Kincardine’s Old Boys and Girls reunion is this summer so maybe you could stop by. Beleive it or not, we are still in business on the same corner were our grocery store was.Paul can fill you in on any other details. Just wanted you to know we are thinking of you today. It is very difficult saying good-bye to a great Dad. All the best . Dave and family.
It is with sadness we read this morning of your Mr.McConnell’s death.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you.We hope memories of happy times will strengthen you in your time of sorrow.
Hoping we can keep in touch with Barry and Shirley.
