Condolences

Condolence From: Bernadette Dunham & Ray Petryshyn
Condolence: To The Nesbitt Family,

Mr. Nesbitt taught us biology when we were students at Courtice Secondary High School... or should we say, he took biology out of the textbook and made it a life experience that has guided and shaped our careers over the years... something only a fabulous teacher can do! Mr. Nesbitt's constant encouragement to be the best we could be, to seek to understand, and to strive to make our world a better place to live, epitomizes his incredible mentorship that has become part of our persona!! We are indebted to him for the influence he has had on us... it was indeed an honor to have been students in his classroom.

Mr. Nesbitt touched the lives of so many and he made a difference in the lives of each of us that were fortunate enough to have known him!!!

We send our heartfelt condolences to each of you. May all of the beautiful memories of Mr. Nesbitt bring a warm smile to your faces, a twinkle to your eyes and love to your hearts!!

Warmest condolences,

Bernadette Dunham, D.V.M., Ph.D.
Raymond Petryshyn, Ph.D.

Condolence: Our sincerest sympathy, Willie, Kathleen and family.

Rest in peace, Jack.

You were a good friend, a great teacher, and a real country gentleman (who always seemed to have a jackknife in his pocket).

Columbus and environs will never be quite the same.

Condolence: Dear Willie and family:
I was so saddened to hear of the passing of Jack. He was such a wonderful man. I always enjoyed our chats when he came into the pharmacy. He had such an intelligent and inquiring mind and was always so full of fun. The time he invited me to speak to a group at the Columbus Church was an honour for me. He was such a gentleman and will be greatly missed.
You have my deepest sympathy.
