We are saddened to learn of the passing of Kaval. We have fond memories of the times spent in the company of Kaval and Edna. As former neighbors on Oxford St. we enjoyed many a get-together for afternoon tea or evening libation and nibbles. We will always remember Kaval as a true gentleman with a wonderful sense of humor. We send heartfelt condolences to Edna, Meera and Melina. Sincerely, Judy and Reg Low and family. - Posted by: Reg and Judy Low and family (Friends) on: Jan 25, 2020
