Rest in peace Dad. Cherrie, Trevor and I will always remember you for your love of your family, your passion for helping people and our many trips and vacations together. Trevor still remembers his Grandpa fondly for the all the time they spent on the beaches of the Caribbean Islands and for coming to his many baseball games and cheering him on.

Dad has left a legacy of a close family of 5 loving kids and 10 grand children and made sure we all had the experiences of what was likely beyond his means.

We will remember all you were and how much you did for us.

My grandfather was a testament to what can be done in old age. His commitment to independence in forms of biking and learning were bar none. These attributes reflected a man who never stopped doing what he loved.

Through dedication, we can achieve our desires. He lived as an example to these qualities and he will remain an example that motivates us all, long into our lives, too.

Thank you for being the role model you were.

Today I am remembering my dad and the great memories we shared together. From a very young age, it was my dad that got me interested in technology and engineering by sharing his work at Nortel with me and the stories of his dad working as an engineer. He always expressed a deep interest and support in whatever i was doing through life, whether it be my studies, my career, my family, or our many travels together. He was one of a kind and always provided for us. I am so grateful for my dad and will cherish our memories...love Mark.

Grandma’s Letter:

Our dad, father, and the kindest of souls came to Ontario and Canada when he was 18 years of age. For several years, he lived with his Aunt Ada in North York, paying rent when he was able to earn some money.

I, Carol, met him at a Friday Night Dance group that several friends introduced him to. He took me to my home on that evening. No car, no cash to pay for taxis, just the meager funds that bus and streetcar wanted at that time.

From that evening on, he attended the group with me at Timothy Eaton. He always took me home by bus or the very handy streetcar.

Some Sundays, we attended the Sunday morning service to hear and enjoy Doctor Lawsons’ morning, or even the evening, service. We did this for a few years, before getting engaged and married by Dr. Lawson.

In time, we bought a house in that area and awaited the birth of our first child. Paul Douglas Lethbridge was born in October, the same month as his father. And in time, we welcomed the birth of our daughter, Laura Rose Lethbridge. And yes, yes, in a series of months, we had our disciples – Mark, Andrew and Matthew.

We were truly blessed with a family of 5, Moms’ lucky number.

Sincerely,
Carol Lethbridge.
