Thank you.

Condolences

Condolence From: jack hutton
Condolence: Hello Trudy -- I tried unsuccessfully earlier to leave a message telling you how much Linda and I regretted missing the celebration of life for Abe. He was the most principled and centred member of the Secretariat during the two decades I was honoured to be one of his colleagues. I did not become a Christian until shortly before retiring in 1990-1991 and I remember how the two of you rejoiced. Linda also wanted to know whether she would see you and Abe before she agreed to come to the Annual Assemblies. We shall miss Abe so much. GOD BLESS -- Jack

Condolence: TRUDY -- My wife Linda and I feel so badly that we learned too late about Abe's celebration of life to be there in person. Abe was one of the most principled and centred individuals I have known in my life, and was the person I respected most during my two decades at OSSTF. I became a late blooming Christian just as I was leaving OSSTF, thanks to Linda, and I recall how the two of you rejoiced. Linda always asked whether we would see the two of you at the Annual Assemblies she attended. I will never forget Abe's sense of humour as he re-created famous monologues from English humous ("If I'd only had the Latin for it ...") He had us in stitches over and over at the end of OSSTF Secretariat evenings. Linda asks me to tell you that you are in our prayers right now. GOD BLESS -- Jack

Condolence: I was also from Waterloo, spent time on the secretariat at OSSTF and presented at Grievance Arbitrations. It was always great to work with Abe and to learn from his experience.
