With broken hearts we announce the passing of David Wayne Enright, surrounded by his family after a short battle with cancer at Matthews House Hospice on April 28th, 2026.

He is survived by his beloved wife of 52 years, Barbara; his children, Rebecca Wood (Ken Wood) and Jennifer Enright (Darryl Henn); and his granddaughter Arya, who will always remember her Papa for his bubble eggs, his art classes and his trips on the boat. He is also survived by his brothers Charles (and Lou) and Pat (and Sue) and his many nieces and nephews. Also leaving behind his best friend Darryl (and Donna) Riggin and his puppy Riley who will miss him very much.

A man of steady hands and a constant heart, he was the quiet foundation our family was built upon. An avid outdoorsman, Dave found joy in fishing, hiking, hunting and exploring the beauty of nature. He found peace in the woods and out on the water, believing that a day spent in nature was never a day wasted. His water colours always tried to capture the beauty in the landscape and trees. Woodworking was also a passion that he shared with his daughter. They were always creating new pieces to make and sell. His legacy lives on in the values his instilled in his daughters and those around him.

Dave’s adventurous spirit and boundless enthusiasm will live on in the hearts of those who loved him. A celebration of life will be held for close friends and family at Kingsmere Retirement Home, 4649 Adjala Tecumseth Townline, Alliston, ON L9R 0C4, in the Clubhouse on Saturday June 27th from 1:00-4:00pm.

SALMON, WILLIAM (BILL) AMBROSE With heavy hearts, we share the news that on Friday, May 1, 2026, Bill passed away peacefully at home, surrounded by his loving family. Bill will be greatly missed by his beloved wife and partner in everything, Carmen; his daughters, Alana (Will) Georgas and Marissa Salmon; and his cherished grandchildren, Lia and Ben Georgas. He will also be dearly missed by his sister Joan (Dave) Preston; his adored four-legged friends, Murphy and Scout; and his extended family including nieces; nephews and cousins near and far. Bill was predeceased by his parents, John Thomas (“Jack”) and Mary (“Maizie”) Salmon and his sister, Patricia (Wayne) Silverson.

Bill grew up on a farm in Smiths Falls, Ontario and this upbringing shaped much of who he became. He loved animals and the great outdoors, found joy in puttering, building and fixing things of all shapes and sizes, and always had an eye for that unmistakable John Deere green. Bill enjoyed a varied and interesting career that defies easy categorization. A cartographer by trade, he began his career at CP Rail and went on to hold a range of roles in the real estate sector, including property manager, mortgage broker, developer, and independent consultant. Bill was particularly proud of the work he did supporting the acquisition of over 1000 acres for the Oak Ridges Moraine Land Trust, helping to preserve and protect this land for years to come.

Outside of work, Bill lived a rich and full life. He was a loyal friend and could always be counted on for thoughtful advice whether it was about buying a car, planning a vacation, or choosing a dog (Golden Retriever, always). Many happy days were spent at the family cottage on Long Lake in Bala, where Bill could often be found at the helm of a boat, reading a good book, or barbequing on the back deck.  The family farm, which he called home for the past 30-plus years was a cherished gathering spot for family and friends. Bill loved nothing more than sharing these special places with others, and over the past few days, we have been overwhelmed by the outpouring of love and stories of how he touched so many lives.

Above all though, Bill loved his family, and we loved him. He was a devoted husband, proud father and the perfect “Grampsie”. Memories of Christmases, birthdays, graduations, weddings and millions of moments in between will live on in our hearts forever.

We extend our deepest gratitude to the professional and compassionate team of caregivers who supported our family over the past few months and helped fulfill Bill’s wish to remain at home.

A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date, and details will be shared with family and friends. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to the Odette Cancer Program at Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre, or to a charity close to your heart.
