I was fortunate enough to meet Mr. Mccreanor in 1955 when I was hired by MTS. I call him Mr. Mccreanor because he was a man who stood out among men and deserved respect. His quiet, sincere approach and honesty to all of his employees was something I never forgot. He gave us council and guidance and helped us along the way. I never once in my career ever heard him raise his voice although at times maybe he should have. Later when I reached management I remember his telling me "call me Dennis". I found it very difficult as we all respected him so much. We all will miss him. Jack Quail - Posted by: Jack Quail ( MTS ) on: Jul 04, 2015

Dear Maureen, Muriel and John. My sister Colleen just informed us of your Dad's passing. Please accept our heartfelt sympathy. I remember your Dad well from growing up next door and always felt that he was a kind, good-hearted soul. I have many fond memories of your parents and growing up together on McNaughton Street. Please know that I am thinking of you all in this difficult time and wish you all the very best in the years to come. Sincerely, Dennis Caine. - Posted by: Dennis Caine (next door neigbour) on: Jul 04, 2015
