My deepest condolenses for your loss. My fav. teacher at Oak Park. Approachable, kind, interested in you. So thankful for at least one good memory of a school year. 🤭 Thankyou Mr Ayearst. Hope to meet again one day in Heaven with your new healthy mind and body.
My sympathy to you & your family Barbara on the death of your husband.
In my thoughts & prayers.
Nanci and family
My deepest sympathies on the loss of your father.
Thinking of you during this difficult time.
I did not have the privilege to meet Richard Ayearst, but have been a friend of his son Mark for a good period of time.
I have found Mark to be a good and kind man witch I assumed was instilled by his father and mother,my wife and I would like to offer our deepest condolences to the Ayearst family
I always enjoyed seeing my Uncle Dick, although living so many provinces apart, our visits weren’t often enough. He had a fantastic sense of humour and an infectious laugh. My mother mentioned all the great advice he gave her over the years. He was a compassionate man with a strong moral core, a mentor. He had a decency about him, combined with his humour, that made him a great role model. I’m sure his students would have loved him. Deeply sorry for your loss and thinking of the family, Aunt Barbara and cousins Mark and Nanci.
