I am so sad to hear of the passing of "Mr. Payne". The Payne's were my neighbours and babysitters when I was a young boy growing up on Inglewood St. They always took such great care of me, often treating me like an extension of their family. I have fond memories of helping Mr. Payne mow the lawn with my Fisher-Price Bubble-Maker Mower and insisting emphatically that I had done that spot when he would roll over areas I thought were done. Thank you Mr. Payne, for opening up your door and your heart to my family at a time when it was truly appreciated. - Posted by: Tim Nachtigall () on: Aug 29, 2017

I saw Bob at West Park Manor while he visiting his wife and I was visiting my husband. He was such a devoted husband visiting every day. I played the piano there for the residents and he used to like to listen to all the old songs, sometimes with tears in his eyes. He told me the music brought back memories of days gone by when he and his wife would dance. He had a very nice voice and was a very nice man. I shall miss seeing him sitting their on his favourite chair in the main area. - Posted by: Barbara Nichols (nee Smith) (Friend) on: Aug 26, 2017
