Condolence from Colleen Rowland Eickmeier on February 25th, 2021 6:22 PM

My deepest sympathies to Anne, Mike, Anne Marie, Cathy, Mary Margaret and their families; and to Ferg’s siblings and in-laws. Sending prayers for healing and comfort in this difficult time. Many fond memories of the Kelly’s sitting behind us in Church, and Ferg (and Anne) patiently tolerating my Dad getting the kids revved up with nonsense (or candy) before Mass! Ferg always had a ready smile, a pleasantry to impart, or a witty retort! He may have picked up some of thise wittisms from the voluminous mounds of books he exchanged with my Dad. I recall numerous trips to “run these books up to Ferg”. He was a pillar in the community and will certainly be missed!

Condolence from Dennis Rau on February 25th, 2021 6:49 PM

Our hearts are with you, Aunt Anne, Mike, Anne Marie, Cathy and Mary Margaret, and all your family. Your dad was such a great role model for all who met him. His commitment to Anne, his children, and grandchildren was always visible and admirable. I remember fierce Euchre competitions at Christmas, listening to fishing stories with his brothers and my dad, and he could never keep a dry eye when he heard O Danny Boy. He served others his whole life, leading by example, with a smile on his face. Sending my deepest sympathy, Mary Kathryn, Rob and family.

Thinking of all of you at this time. Very sorry to hear about the passing of Uncle Ferg. I have many fond memories as a kid I used to love going for a drive with Mom and Dad on a Sunday afternoon to visit with Uncle Ferg and Aunt Anne. He was such a happy and kind man. Ferg always had a great story to tell, and I loved to see what local history books he was currently reading. Hope your playing cards up there Ferg, say Hi to Dad for me.

Ferg and the whole Kelly were wonderful Highway 8 neighbours to the Melady family for many years. I have happy memories of Ferg’s energetic, high-spirited, fun-loving, positive approach to life from when I was a child. He always seemed so interested in the world. And I think he and Anne provided me with my first paying job when I was a babysitter to the kids in the early ’70s!
My condolences to all of you on the loss of great man.

Dear Anne and family,
My condolences to you and to your family on your loss. Ferg was so personable; he cared for people. I remember one time visiting our farm with my children. We went over to watch the Ferg combining. As soon as Ferg saw the children, hs stopped the combine, came over to greet us all and then took the boys for a ride. They never forgot it. Truly, his loss is a great one to you and all the family and to the community.

Aunt Anne, Anne Marie, Mike, Cathy, Mary Margaret,

I am saddened to hear of Uncle Ferg’s passing. I have fond memories of spending time on the farm with Aunt Anne and Uncle Ferg as a child. When Aunt Anne had enough of the antics of Rick and I, Ferg would take us out and let us run through the barn or bring us up on the tractor…such great memories! In later years, I relished the meetings with Uncle Ferg as he was always in great spirits and I always enjoyed the conversation over the latest book he had read on Irish history! RIP Uncle Ferg…

He was so proud of all of you, and all his grandchildren. I know the addition of the 2 special great-grandchildren brought him such joy as well. Most sincere and heartfelt sympathy to you all, from all of us.

Condolence from Don Flanagan on February 26th, 2021 4:20 PM

So sad to hear of Ferg’s passing. I was fortunate to run into Ferg a few times at the arenas when my son was young. He was always the same smiling face that I knew when I was young and we used to visit the farm with my parents, Ben & Rosemary. But I’ll tell you that Ferg hated losing to my father at euchre. There was more than one time when the cheating accusations would ring as loud as the laughter.
Our sincere condolences to all the family.

So very sorry to hear of Fergs passing…he was loving, kind man who was always so gracious and thoughtful whenever we were together….I received a small stone plaque from a friend after Doc died…it said “Good byes are not forever, Good byes are not the end, They simply mean I’ll miss you, until we meet again…He is safe in heaven now and free of pain…. My love and sympathy Ann.

Dear Anne, Mike & Ann, AnneMarie, Cathy, Mary Margaret and families, Sending to you our deepest condolences on Ferg’s passing. Love & prayers are sent to you all.
Many of my earliest memories were at your kitchen table or playing ‘Trouble’ upstairs at your place; Ferg & Anne always made you feel welcome and at home.
I always knew Ferg as Grandpa’s ‘Young Friend’ & he remains that to me to this day :-)
A little story -Anne/Ferg’s place remain entrenched in our generations- &across the miles- in a commonly used idiom with roots in Perth/Huron county.
I am unsure if common knowledge to you & whether still used there but For us any euchre game will inevitably include the announcement of “I’m going around by Kelly’s” when leading a card … I’m not sure who originated – perhaps someone fr Mamie/Joes or Frances/Teds…or ? but to who ever started this they were taking the long way to their desired location..& the saying has stuck. It may have been another Kelly’s referenced but for me I’ll always think of Kelly’s on #8 ..& smile . Anyhow, I hope the story brings a smile to you & yours (& you understand my explanation-lol). Love & prayers xo Deb

My deepest condolences go out to Aunt Anne and the rest of the family. Uncle Ferg was always such a nice man. Even as a young boy, when we would speak, you could tell he listened genuinely. I looked up to Uncle Ferg. Heaven gained another Angel. Wish I could be there to give Aunt Anne a great big hug. All of my thoughts, prayers and love are being sent your way.

Condolence from Richard Maloney on February 28th, 2021 5:49 PM

Uncle Ferg, my Godparent, was a great influence in my life: most recently, when I needed support when Francis (my father) was in hospitalization before his eventual passing. From the start to finish, no matter the gaps in between, Ferg was there for you.
I look forward to the day when close family and friends can meet again, and celebrate Uncle Ferg’s life and accomplishments.
Until then, my thoughts are with Aunt Anne and family.
Warm regards,
Richard Maloney
