Deep condolences to you, Nathan, and your family. Your father was such a committed supporter of the Scouts and a very strong community leader. May he rest in peace.
I would like to offer my sympathies to Wendy, Ian, Nathan, and their families on the recent loss of Phillip. I got to know him when he worked at E.W.Farr in Fenwick and also when he was a bus driver. He was a no nonsense guy but he had a very giving nature as well. His desire to volunteer his services to the community was very commendable and he will be missed by all.
Thank you very much Beverley for your sympathies. Phil was very much a no nonsense guy but always tried to be fair. We have wonderful memories of his driving school bus to reflect on, as well as comfort by the impact he had on so many in the community. Thank you
We are remembering our good visits while enjoying ice cream–catching up and remembering the past.

I’ll never forget Mr. Blackmore, his wide-brimmed hat and being our bus driver at E.W. Farr.
He was always the best swing pusher and would push us up so high at recess!
Thank you so much Stephanie. It really is wonderful to have so many memories to reflect on. Many of which involve the school bus and his hats! Thank you for sharing your memory with us, it truly means a lot.
