Jim, so sorry to hear of the passing of your wonderful wife who you spoke of with love and caring. Lost touch after we retired from the part time work force . Prayers for you and your family as you deal with this loss with heavy hearts.

Coz Carole is a person to remember and smile. As a child, I remember her books and papers spread all over the Ping pong table in Vivian & Earl’s basement, while studying for her nursing exams. There is a photo of Carole as a young woman on the beach at Grande Bend still studying while at play. Hard work, intensity and focus, Carole always made you smile with her vitality. I never saw her without a smile. To Jim & Family, we were all blessed, and thank you

Dear Jim and family, The memories of my friendship with Carole will always be in my heart. I will miss her every day but with a smile for all that she shared to enrich the lives of family and friends. Carole was an incredible woman and a life guide to everyone who knew her. Peace and always with love. Joanne

Just to say for everyone who knew Carol, to know her was to love her. We are the lucky ones to have known her and to have had her in our lives. Her passing will leave an empty spot in our hearts. Love to you and all your family Jim. Jim and Doreen

My condolences to you and your family. Carol was my first Head Nurse at PGH in Chatham – she taught me well. Wonderful compassionate woman – keep your memories close.

I knew Carole through the LNAC Bookclub. I loved how she drew little maps of the book characters and how they related to each other. A classy and kind lady! Rest in peace dear Carole.

Dear Jim, Scott & Darcy, so sorry to hear of Carole’s passing. I have very fond recollections of our friendship when you were in Chatham and Scott & Darcy were at Given. Take comfort from the wonderful wife & mother who graced your lives.

To the McVicar Family: Jim was my Grade 6 teacher in the early 1960’s at Riverside Public School. At Christmas time he organized a hay ride for the class and brought his lovely new fiancée Carole with him. She was so nice and so pretty. To a romantic 11 year old girl they seemed like the perfect couple. By all accounts in the messages above, my young impression turned out to be correct.
Sincere condolences to the family and especially to my teacher, Mr. McVicar.

Daina (Stengels) Brown

Jim: My sincere condolences to you in your loss of Carole, She was a beautiful lady and it is sad that she and you dealt with dementia but I know you would draw strength from family and friends. The staff at Riverside was special and I cherish all those memories. Blessings. Shirley (MacCallum) Cobban

Dear Jim, Scott and Darcy, I was shocked to view Carol ‘s obituary. May your fond memories of a lifetime well lived give you strength as you travel this new path. She was a wonderful lady always greeting you with a smile! Hugs and blessings sent to all of you!

Dear Mr. McVicar and Family,
My sincere condolences at this time. Even though I never met Mrs. McVicar, I attended McKeough Public School where you were the principle. Amazing memories. You truly looked after your students well. May the Lord Bless You, and Keep You Safe.

Warmest Regards,

Richard (Rick) Koiter

Dear Jim,
Dave and I are saddened and so sorry that Carole has passed away.
As a youngster, when my family came to London for visits, Carole would always take me along with her and her best friend Judy, to go downtown and see a movie. She quickly became my favourite cousin! Carole was always quick-witted , fun to be with, and funny. As teenagers, we also had many great times at Windy Hill together, and always had a special connection. Carole had, and will always have a special place in my heart. Rest in peace, my sweet cousin.
Our thoughts and deepest sympathy are with you and your family, at this sad time.
With love and hugs,
Dorothy and Dave
