My sympathies to the Sukava family at your time of loss. I met your father after I began working in the Dept. of Chemistry, in the early 80’s. He was always a kind & caring gentleman. He was interested in what others had to contribute, & truly possessed the common touch. What a wonderful man & a wonderful life!
My thoughts and prayers are with all of you as you celebrate the life of a wonderful father and grandfather.
I wanted to send my condolences. It was a pleasure to work with Jack in the Parkwood Maintenance Program. The volunteers and class will be sad to hear of his passing.
Dear Michael,
Apologies for not being able to attend the visitation or funeral. Shirley and I now live in Richmond Woods Retirement Residence, and in fair to not-so-good health.
I have many reminiscences of your Father over the years we both taught courses in Physical Chemistry . He was my mentor in the early years after I joined the Dept. of Chem. We remember many happy meetings with him and your late mother.
Please accept our sincere condolences on the passing of a colleague who had a long and productive life.
