In memory of: |
Garth Manning QC |
Message: |
Dear Linda,
I just learned about Garth's passing. Libby joins me in expressing our heartfelt condolences to you and Garth's family. We hope that memories and Garth's many accomplishments sustain you during these difficult days. I will never forget Garth's important role in my path to leadership in the Ontario Bar Association. It was Garth who, as Chair of the CLE Committee, invited me to be a member in 1982 --- Wow! 37 years ago. I have many fond memories of Garth at Bar Association meetings, pipe in hand, listening attentively and then offering wise counsel. I also remember that it was Garth who first informed me of my election as CBAO VP in August 1993. He was very surprised at the result (given that Michelle Fuerst and Don Short were the other candidates) but he was always gracious and helpful to me during my presidency. He was an able, accomplished leader and a gentleman. He will not be forgotten. Unfortunately, we will be away in September and unable to attend. |
