HI Darryl–I am so sorry to learn of your mom’s passing. She was a great friend and mentor to me when I began teaching at Colborne back in the late seventies. After I moved to Windsor, we kept in touch with occasional phone calls and visits. I last saw her a few summers when she was still living in her home and I came to visit for a few days. We had a great time! She was always full of life and rarin’ to go!I know she loved you very much. My sincere condolences to all of you.

To Darryl & family.
Not only will your Mom be remembered as a wonderful teacher and Mom, but she was also part of a great old Goderich highly respected Automotive family in which her husband, father, mother and brother were involved. Its always sad when not only the life but the end of an era happens.

I had the honour of first teaching with Arlyne at Colborne School in the 80’s. She was “a natural” with kids. My fondest memories are of those cold, stormy Christmas Parade days, in the freezing weather as we put the school float together. There was always a thank you bottle of Crown Royal for Arnold Young, for supplying and pulling our wagon with those beautiful horses. Arlyne and I always managed to stay warm though……thanks to those “special” coffees. What a great lady!
Thoughts and prayers are with the family, from Floyd and Liz Herman.

Arlyne, was a wonderful friend and inspired person. She guided hundreds of students and was always willing to congratulate hard earned success and able to encourage greater effort. We will miss her sense of humour, her determination and wonderful example.

I first met your family when we moved to Elgin Ave in 1971 and were neighbours. We would stop and chat whenever our paths crossed over the years. Your Mom was such a friendly person. May she rest in peace. Thinking of you all at this sad time.

Goodby to a Normal School classmate of mine. We attended classes together in Stratford in 1950.

Arlene and I shared the love of our dogs both owning schnauzers first and then bichons. We often met on our daily walks. Arlene went to school with my mother Joan Crawford . And we’re neighbors when Arlene and Colin moved over to Hincks Street. I sometimes would hook up with Arlene on the golf course and we always had lots to talk about. She will be missed. May she RIP.
