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

I was so sorry to read of your Dad’s passing. My thoughts are with you and your family.
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.
Judy, Rhonda and family:
We were very saddened to read of Maurice’s passing, thinking of you at this sad time. May you find peace and comfort in the many memories that you have had with him.
Pat and Bob
Dear Judy, so sorry to hear of your dad’s passing. Have such great memories of him, particularly involving your mum, Goderich Little Theatre and the Livery. Ever the true gentleman, he will be missed! My condolences to all your family.
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this time. Keep the memories close to you. I worked near your Mom for years.
Dear Judy and Family,
thinking of you all at this very difficult time.
What a good friend, as Bill and Maury would walk the dogs, play cards and chat over tea!
To all of you, I am so very sorry.
Judy, Susanne, and family. Many fond memories of Maurice. I served on council with him, a fellow Lion for many years, was an associate in the sale of the family cottage, and enjoyed many friendly poker games with him. I will miss his big smile and hardy laugh.
Sincerest condolences to the Jenkins family. I worked with Maurice at Salescompany for
many years.
Dear Judy: My sympathies to you and your family. HUGS, Louise ♥
Dear Judy and family. We are saddened to hear of the passing of your father. He was always welcoming and interesting to chat with. You will have many wonderful memories to cherish for a life well lived. In sympathy. Mark and Jim Riley
Dear Judy, we are very sorry for loss. Our thoughts are with you and your family.
A sad time for all involved, family, friends and acquaintances .
A lovely man. Always a smile and warm conversation.
Maurice , you will be missed. Our sincerest condolences to everyone.
Our deepest sympathies to all the family with love from us both
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.
My condolences Suzanne.
Dear Judy and family: May it somehow give you peace of mind and ease your sorrow, too, to know that many thoughts and prayers are going out to you.
Sorry to hear o f your dad’s passing Judy. I know you gave him much joy.
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
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.
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 and Family
Our sincere sympathies on the passing of your dad and grandpa. We have known “Maurie” for many years through Champion Sales ans Service,and being a great Library patron.
Paul and Joanne Graf
Sorry to hear of the passing of a dear old friend of Evan Keith’s. They enjoyed good times in the Goderich Lion’s Club. My sympathy to Judy. I will miss keeping up to date on Maury. Hugs, Margaret
Sorry for your loss he has finally gone home and is at rest. You can rest now knowing he is with jesus. Rest easy Susanne and Anthony.
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!
Dear Judy and familey
I am very sorry to hear of the passing of you dad. May all the wonderful memories of you and your family with him, find a way to put a smile in you, and a ray of sunshine in your heart at this time of darkness. Our thoughts and prayers will be with you and your family.
Dear Judy. We are very sorry to hear about the loss of your dad. Please know that our thoughts are with you and your family during this very sad time. Hugs, MaryLou Melick, Lynda, Debbie & Christina.
Our condolence to Judy & family. Maurie was a very active man in the community – right to the end!
We always remember him associated with Goderich Little Theatre.

Dear Judy…..I wanted to express my sincere sympathy on the passing of your dad. I have many memories of him at various Lions’ activities. He was always the one to lead the Lions roar. Ted enjoyed their time on Team 4 bingo team. Ruth Ingham
A man of charm, generosity and good humour, and he could make the numbers balance. Maurice will be missed by many. My condolences to all his family.
Dear Judy,
My condolences to you and your family. My thoughts are with you during this difficult time.
Dear Judy, I am so very sorry for your loss. Your Dad was a wonderful man and I hope your memories of him warm your heart.
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)
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
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.
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.
Dear Judy & all of Maurice’s family,
My sincere sympathies for your loss.
I was sorry to read about your loss. My sincere condolences.
