Gary Vickey & Family, warmth and support on your beautiful Mom Claudia’s passing. She was truly a lovely lady in every respect, whom I admired and shared many endearing chats with throughout the Regatta Rowing years, along with your loving Dad Tom (RIP). They were one and the same, the finest example of honest, kind good human beings, and a very devoted couple, whom I admired very much and friendship I cherished. They always spoke so proud of you. Your parents were a gift to the world. May they rest in peace together, and your hearts always feel their love.

Sending heartfelt condolences to Claudia’s dear family. I knew her long ago at CIBC, then we crossed paths again during my rowing days and years spent on the Regatta Committee. Tom and Claudia were fine friends for many years. Good people who enjoyed life and laughter.. I have such fond memories of them both. Saw Claudia several times while she was a resident at Glenbrook Lodge. May she rest in peace, reunited with Tom.
Condolences to her family. I have very fond memories of working with Claudia at CIBC on Hamilton Ave. She was very gracious and kind to me.

Gary and family so sorry for your loss. Claudia was such a huge part of my Mother in law’s life. They had such a close friendship, sharing trips together and many meals at each other’s homes. They talked every night and had a very special bond. She’ll always be remembered with so much love. Thinking of you and your family.

I remember when I was 12 years old and went to Claude’s house and she pierced my ears. That was 50 years ago. We had a funny and enjoyable day for sure!
RIP Sweetie, you are now with Hubby and the Lord. You were as Amazing lady & blessing to me when I was taken from my mom. 🌻🌻🌻
So very sorry to hear of Claudia’s passing. I met her at St Pat’s while visiting my sister. I always enjoyed my chats with her. I found Claudia to be a very quiet and reserved lady with a remarkable understanding and outlook on life. I will miss her presence yet so grateful to have met such a lovely lady.
Gary and family, so sorry to hear of your Mom’s passing.
Claudia and family, so sorry to hear of your Aunt’s passing.

I’m so sorry to read of Claudia’s passing. What a wonderful age she reached, though. I think of you all from time to time, hoping all are well. Your parents were always such pleasant people, Gary, I remember them well from Hayward Avenue days!
Gary,Vicky,and Family,our sincere condolences on the loss of Aunt Claudia.She was a wonderful lady and such a gracious host when we visited.Rest easy till we meet again.Love Always Wayne LeeAnne and Family❤️
I truly admired and respected Aunt Claudia beyond measure. I remember, in my early twenties, despite having a full-time job and good credit, I was trying to secure my first car loan but was rejected by my bank – Bank of Nova Scotia. Defeated but not broken, I left and went down the street to CIBC to try another bank. Aunt Claudia who worked there, greeted me with open arms. She vouched for me that day and I was given my first loan. I am still a loyal CIBC customer to this day. She had a tremendous impact on my life from that day forward – one would say the start of my financial independence. I am forever grateful to Aunt Claudia for trusting and believing in me. May you rest easy sweet lady. My Condolences to Gary and family during this difficult time.
Our condolences on the passing of your Mom. We are glad that we got to spend time with her at St. Pat’s. Mom will certainly miss their time together at meals. She was a lovely woman.
Veda and her girls.
Gary & Family;
My condolences on your dear mom’s passing. I remember her well & a very sweet lady she was.
God bless you all.
Rest in Peace Mrs. Stone
