In the past 12 months, our club had lost 3 of its long time members. We wish to dedicate this post to each of them.
Jim passed away peacefully on December 28th, 2021. He and his wife Marlene have been members with the Trillium Village Collectors Club for close to 20 years. Jim worked in the trucking industry for over 5 decades. He was a handy man who was extremely proud with his well maintained lawn at home. His cheery smile and warm personality is missed by all.
On June 30th, 2022, Steve passed away with Lois, his wife of 59 years, by his side. Steve and Lois joined Trillium Village Collectors Club in the first year of the club’s inception. He was actively involved with the club and was elected as the Club President for a few years and Membership chairperson for many more. Steve retired as a decorated Fire Captain for the Markham Fire Department and was loved by those who knew him. How could anyone forget his hearty laughs and his wicked sense of humour?
Eric passed away suddenly on August 19th, 2022. He and his wife, Cherie, became members of the Trillium Village Collectors Club on July 1994. Both Eric and Cherie actively participated as club executives. He held the club’s Secretary position for many, many years (and thankfully, Cherie is still very much involved with the club’s operations to this date). Eric was fondly remembered by many of his students as a fantastic Geography teacher in Kipling Collegiate in Etobicoke. When you come to our club meetings, Eric was always the first one to greet you at the door. We will certainly miss his personable demeanor and friendly disposition.
