Mike & Syd McKeown
Our deepest condolences on the loss of your father, Judy. It was wonderful to see him this past summer and of course we fondly remember the 70s and 80s as we enjoyed his mentorship and friendship. He was certainly unique and it was a privilege to know him.
Derek Madge
I have many early memories of your Dad and Mom, especially “Dominion Day” fireworks when the grownups seemed just a little more jovial with ‘grown-ups pop” in their hands. He was always a great gentleman and gifted at conversation.
Anna & Adam Martens
Momma J, we are all so sorry to hear the passing of your dad. We all know you will miss those beer nights. He was a loving father and always happy to see a family (even distant) gathering. Much love xxx

So sorry to hear about Lion Maurice’s passing. I had known him for over 35 years and always found him to be a friendly and happy gentleman. He aways had good things to say and was positive about life. He will be missed by the Goderich Lions Club, and by District A9. Dennis Flavell (past District Governor A-9)

Your Dad Judy, like all of our dads, was one of a ‘kind’ and very special!! ‘We’ were ‘Daddy’s little girl’, and so it was – forever!! He taught you ‘deep love, respect, and Courage’! In keeping with ‘his’ teachings, ‘may the only courage that matters, be the kind that gets you from one beautiful memory to the next.’
My deepest condolences to you and your family!

Our Uncle Maurie was a special person to all who knew him. We so enjoyed the times we managed to spend together, and are especially glad that we were able to again spend time together last August. And share a last few hugs – which I know he only pretended to find outrageous!
He showed us over the years, that life should be what you want it to be, and that with some effort you can achieve this.
We will always remember his wit, his stories, his tenacity, his thirst for news, his sincerity, and of course his hugs!
He, and such lovely memories will always be held close in our hearts.
Love & condolences to you all from England. xxxxxx

Dear Judy
We would like to express our sincere condolences to you and your family.
Maurice was a lovely neighbour and welcomed us warm-heartedly when we moved to Church Street.
It is our understanding there will be a Celebration of Life for your dad this Saturday at the Knights of Columbus Centre, 1:00-4:00. We will see you then.

Dear Judy and family:
How sad we are to hear of your dad’s passing. Unfortunately we are unable to attend the celebration as we are at a school board symposium in Toronto. To us he was always Mr. Jenkins and never “Maurice”. He was a class act and it was our privilege to have known him . Al and Louise

I will miss Maury’s infectious enthusiasm that I had the pleasure to experience for a very long time. ‘Way back when I was a kid, I remember a Santa with a funny accent. Then working with him in Lions over the years, I saw how much he believed in the Lions motto, We Serve. He was always looking to the needs of others and for ways to improve his community.
He was “one of the good ones” and we are going to miss him.
Jennifer and Chris Black
Our deepest sympathies to all the family with love from us both

Judys dad was a good sport, always trying new things that Judy would dream up for him. He would have a smile on his face. Motorcycle ride, convertible ride complete with balloons, fun stuff. I will miss him.

Sorry for your loss. Working at sales company was one of my early jobs when I joined Champion back in 1976. Maurice and I worked together for 18 months but being only 26 when I started to work for him and I certainly learned a lot in my time with him.
My deepest sympathy
