Messages of Condolence

  1. Craig Barton says:

    I felt very sad after reading a little note posted on ‘The Bickerton Court’ bulletin board informing all of us that Reg had passed away. I really liked Reg. He was a gentleman. Polite and always considerate. He had a great sense of humour too. My heart goes out to all who loved him. May you be comforted by the thought that you will all see him again – some day.

  2. John and Betty Youson says:

    At this moment, we cannot contemplate our world without Reg. We shared with him many happy times and adventures together in Victoria, in Toronto, and abroad on two cruises. We deeply regret that at the last minute we had to cancel our flight to honor him at the memorial service, but our circumstances would have led Reg, to tell us, “Slow down and look after yourselves”, a phrase he used very often.
    We are thinking of you during this difficult time and trust that happy family times together will sustain you. Reg always spoke so very fondly, and with great pride, of his three children and their families.

  3. Michael Kaehn says:

    Our deepest condolences! I have heard about the Would family ever since I started researching the Hodgson family many years ago. We thoroughly enjoyed our visits with Reg and Marlene here in Victoria. Somewhere around here I have pictures with them at a dinner at the Princess Mary Restaurant when several other Hodgson relatives happened to be in town. It was great to have representation from the McGhee side of the family. Take care! Michael, Olivia and Hannah Kaehn
