Dearest Anne,

Woodroffe High School's 50th reunion will be a bittersweet reminder of the wonderful times that we shared together and that you are no longer with us.

You were a loyal friend who was loved by many and who made my high school years so enjoyable. We will toast your lively spirit and sense of humour in May and we will fondly remember your contagious laughter that will echo down the halls of Woodroffe High School forever.

God bless you.

With love,

Your friend,
Cathy

Billy Cairns

Sadly Billy passed away in Edmonton, Alberta, April 7, 1979 at the young age of 29. He attended Woodroffe for a short period of time.

There's a face that's with me ever,
There's a voice I long to hear,
There's a smile I'll remember forever,
Though I try to forget every tear,
There's a sad, but sweet, remembrance,
There's a memory fond and true,
There's a token of affection, Billy,
And heartache still for you.
Love forever, sister Lynne

Jim Dale

Jim Graduated with a Bachelor of Commerce degree with first class honours at Carleton University and then went on to work for Systemhouse Ltd.

Jim lived his life to the fullest! He loved hanging out with his friends, watching and playing sports, listening to music and traveling. He had an artistic flair in photography and in stained glass.

Although Jim did not have a long life, he accomplished remarkable things through his education and work, his music and friendships that spanned all generations. His unwavering commitment to live a full life, influenced many people that he met along his journey.

I am thankful for the short time I had with Jim, and I know that he made an impact on others as well as my life. I love him with all my heart and I cherish the wonderful memories we had together.

Jim lost his battle with Cystic Fibrosis.

Will always miss our close relationship as sisters & friends. I am so glad we took that walk through Woodroffe High School and shared our many memories of that time just a few years ago. I am taking your memory in my heart sis as I partake of all the good ole days in 2010 at the reunion.
I saw the band is putting together a tribute I'll think of you as I watch n listen.

Wanda Kennedy (Pikor)

Robert 'Mak' Makohoniuk

Stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone,
Prevent the dog from barking with a juicy bone,
Silence the pianos and with muffled drum
Bring out the coffin, let the mourners come.

Let aeroplanes circle moaning overhead
Scribbling on the sky the message He is Dead,
Put crepe bows round the white necks of the public doves,
Let the traffic policemen wear black cotton gloves.

The stars are not wanted now; put out every one:
Pack up the moon and dismantle the sun;
Pour away the ocean and sweep up the woods:
For nothing now can ever come to any good.
 

Jacob Malomet

Jacob, my "cool"  brother was a popular student at Woodroffe highschool in the 70s. Despite a cancer diagnosis, he lived life to the fullest, balancing an active social life, playing trumpet in the band, and excelling at his schoolwork to graduate an Ontario Scholar and continue at Queens in Engineering. Jacob left us 18 forever frozen in time as a teenager ready to take on whatever life presented him.
I still hear from his friends who tell me to this day, they miss him.

Peter Xhignesse

Those of us that knew Peter, know how much he loved life, his family and friends. Blackcomb Mountains "Xhiggy's Meadow" is an appropriate memorial to Pete as anyone who has enjoyed a few turns there and knew him would attest to. I think of him often.
