    Had the pleasure of working with Aubrey onboard the train when I first started & remembered his kind, gentle & smiling nature. Remet Aubrey at the Via Pensioners meetings & enjoyed his comments and humour. Heartfelt condolences to Dorothy, and all of the family members, from Dexter Conrad and myself, Stella-Marie Sirois. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. Rest in Peace, cher Aubrey.

    I am very sorry for your loss, Aubrey was a friend of my late father Leo Gargan, they were both in the Army and friends. We lived in Windsor Park at the same time, and Dad and Aubrey remained friends in the later years. Please accept our heartfelt condolences from the Gargan family at this sad and difficult time. Hugs to you all.

    Remember Aubrey when we were kids living in Springhill. One memory was Aubrey and I going to the woods in Springhill, me with about 20 shotgun shells from my dad's supply with a plan to explode them on the side of a hill in a bon fire. Lucky we escaped uninjured to go on and live another day . I have never saw or heard from Aubrey since those childhood days and often wondered what he did with his life and read with great interest about his life and the fact we both lived here in Dartmouth. Rest In Peace Aub.

    I met Aubrey back in the mid 90's. He was a customer of mine, and the very best kind. I never forgot him.He was the kindest and most sincere man I ever met. And always had a smile. RIP Aubrey
