Dear Grandpa
You will be truly missed. We loved your stories, your choir sheets at Christmas and your multiple choice games during the holidays.
We will miss your voice, your laughter and your little jokes.
You were a loving Husband, a kind Father and a wonderful Grandfather.
Rest in peace and thank you for the wonderful memories.
We love you xo
So sorry to hear of Mr. Tilburg passing away. So nice to have a little chat at Vanneck Road, with family members. I was happy to show him changes that were in production when we first moved in and lovely to hear his stories of his life on the farm.
Condolences to his family

There is something painfully and deeply missing in our lives today. You were a generous, loving, caring, thoughtful, gentle and gracious man of God. Your earthly song has ended, but the melody will remain forever, resting peacefully in our hearts.
Peter sat in the pew ahead of us at Parkview United in Stratford. To his large family we extend our condolences.
Our sincere condolences to Peter’s family. We knew Peter from Parkview United Church. He always had a smile and story to share – and was a trivia buff, too! He will be greatly missed. Sincerely, Teresa Coulthard & Paul Strathdee
