39 ? W ednesda y , November 24, 2010 OAKVILLE BE A VER ? ww w .oakvillebeave r.co m ATHERLEY, Darrell On Tuesday, November 16, 2010 our cherished Darrell passed away as the sun rose and a large star grew brighter. Husband and soul mate to wife Joan, proud father to Davin and Rylan, son to Agnes, brother to Dawn Marese, nephew to Sigrund, Mabel, Helen and Lois, friend to all his cousins, uncle & great uncle to many nieces and nephews. Darrel l loved adventure in travel , golf and power walking. His 67 stature was often seen with the WOW power walkers training throughout the streets of Oakville for his many races and marathons. After eight years at Canadian Satellite Communications Inc. (Cancom), Darrell took on the role of vice president of sales and marketing for Family Channel in 1993. In 2001 he was named vice president of affiliate sales at Astral Media, before launching a consulting business in early 2007, which included Super Channel amongst his clients. To quote Darrells colleague and friend of 25 years, if you knew Darrell, you loved him. He had the innate ability to be friends with everyone. Though he was taken away from the world much too early, his caring nature, welcoming character and contagious personality live on in the people hes touched. Despite being challenged with bladder cancer our family was privileged to have met many lovely people from Credit Valley and Trillium Hospitals who cared for Darrell as if he were their own. This year, Team Darrell for The Terry Fox Run was formed one week prior to the race. It brought out over 80 friends and family and raised over $10,000 showing just the kind of man he was. A celebration of his life will be held on Thursday, Dec. 9th at 707 Galaxy Banquet Facility, 475 North Service Rd E., Oakville from 3-6pm, with a tribute to Darrell at 5 pm. Darrell requested that donations be made to Team Darrell for Terry Fox.

You are my every thought and mostly my every word. I miss you more than any words exist in the English language. You were and will always be my rock, my strength, my confidant, my best friend, my Father. When I think of you I think of all the wisdom you possessed, a fi ghter never a quitter, kind, generous, loving and oh so very unselfi sh of a man. That is what you accomplished during your time here on earth. It amazes me, honours me, and humbles me that I get to call you my Father. I Love you Always and Forever your daughter,Rosemarie You are larger than life...until we meet again Dad....I love you. Nicholas (Nick) Berrisford On November 23, 2009, you left us suddenly. We are fi lled with great sadness. You are in our hearts and minds each and every day in our journey through life. We love you and miss you so very much. Mom, Dad, brother Martin, sister-in-law Sue, son Christopher and nephew Daniel Leonard Arthur DAtri May 17, 1932 - November 24, 2007 Dad there are not enough words to express what you meant to me and how much I miss you! Three years and it feels like a lifetime since Ive seen you. My heart aches and not a minute goes by that you are not in my thoughts! When I listen to the song below, I cant help but think of you.... I pinch myself sometimes to make sure Im not in a dream Thats how it seems I close my eyes and breathe in the sweetest moments Id ever known It feels like home And here I am, I was just your everything There you were... Turning winter into spring And everyone that saw you Always wanted to know you And everyone that knew you Always had a smile Youre a standing ovation after years of waiting For a chance to fi nally shine Everyone called you amazing I just call you mine I fall apart Just a thought of you just somehow seems to fi x Whatevers wrong You reach into the weakest moments And remind me that Im strong Youve got to know Id be a fool not to feel you, even worse To forget that youre more than I deserved And everyone that saw you Always wanted to know you And everyone that knew you Always had a smile Youre a standing ovation after years of waiting For a chance to fi nally shine Everyone called you amazing I just call you mine Nothing makes sense that youre not here As if my whole worlds disappeared Without you whats the point of it... Cause everyone that saw you Always wanted to know you And everyone that knew you Always had a smile Youre the dream that Id been chasin after years of waiting For a chance to fi nally shine Everyone called you amazing I just call you mine I Love You & Miss You, My Larger than Life Dad Maryann & Family l In Memoriams OAKVIL LE Beav er
