It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of William (Bill) Stark Chalmers on June 25, 2025, at Matthews House Hospice in Alliston, Ontario, at the age of 89.

Beloved husband of Jane Chalmers (née Wylie), Bill was a devoted father to William (Sandra), and Alan, grandfather to William (Kaitlin), Hudson and Meghan (Kody) and great-grandfather to Oliver.

Bill was a man of many talents and interests. He was a musician, golfer, and successful businessman. He loved puzzles, cryptic crosswords and the New York Times Spelling Bee (regularly achieving the genius level). He was an avid sports fan, rooting on his beloved Blue Jays, Buffalo Bills and Rory McIlroy.

Bill will be remembered for his quick wit and good humour. Even in the last stages of his illness he was always ready with a joke for his support workers and nurses. He was a warm and charming man. He will be greatly missed by all who knew him.

The family would like to thank the excellent nurses and staff at St. Elizabeth Healthcare, and the dialysis department at Stevenson Memorial Hospital for the care they provided to Bill over the last few years. Particular thanks go to those at the Matthews House Hospice who worked so hard to ensure that his final days were as comfortable as possible. For those who wish, donations in Bill’s memory may be made to the Matthews House Hospice.

Gamble: John Wray “Duke”
Peacefully passed away with his loving family by his side at Margaret Bahen Hospice, Newmarket, on June 21, 2025. John “Duke” Gamble, at the age of 80, leaves behind a legacy of laughter, love, and unforgettable one-liners — even in his toughest days, his quick wit never left him.

Loving companion and best friend of Mary Chynoweth. Beloved father of Kim Andrew (John) whose love and care meant everything to him. Cherished and deeply missed by his grandchildren: the late Avery Andrew, Emma Andrew, Paige Andrew and Jade Lynch (Adam). Dear brother of the late Bill Gamble (Linda), Ferne Jeffels (Ken), and Kevin Gamble (Helen). John also leaves behind many extended family members and friends who will always carry his memory with a smile.

John found his greatest joys in simple pleasures — admiring his Cub Cadet tractor, taking pride in the home he built over 50 years ago, spending time at the trailer, enjoying the loyal companionship of his beloved dog, Coco, who he is now reunited with, and of course, Duke always loved a cold bottle of Maclay’s beer. His sense of humor, even through sickness, reminded everyone around him that laughter is one of life’s greatest gifts.

Arrangements entrusted to Rod Abrams Funeral Home, Tottenham. A Family Memorial Celebration will be held at a later date. For those who wish, donations in John’s memory to the Margaret Bahen Hospice Newmarket would be appreciated. Condolences and memories may be left for the family at www.RodAbramsFuneralHome.com
