Norma, Marci, Heather and Gordon: I was saddened when I heard this news. Some of my best memories as a child are of the fireworks evenings on a holiday "way up north" at Uncle Earl and Aunt Norma's. I looked forward to those visits every year. My sincere condolences to you.

Dear Aunty Norma, Heather, Gordy, and Marci, Please accept my condolences and love - from afar. Uncle Earl's smile and voice in my head will always endure - he was the loveliest soul. Like Sam and my other siblings, Firecracker Night, BBQs, your kitchen, playing with the kids - and visiting Dad at work - all great memories. (I wore a branded White Ski Jacket as my top layer - one whole Winter!). Much strength and warmth from our family here to yours.

Dear Norma, Heather, Marci, Gordon and families, Our deepest sympathy on the passing of Earl. Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this most difficult time. Earl was special! He was cheerful, enthusiastic, friendly and warm. We always enjoyed going out with Earl and Norma. Earl was so talkative and chatty with all his interesting conversations and experiences. It was just two weeks ago that we shared a Friday night, having dinner together at Swiss Chalet. His infectious smile and joyful laugh will be missed! R.I.P. dear Earl. Dear family, cherish your treasured memories deep within your heart forever. With special thoughts Bev and Norm

Dear Auntie Norma and family, Linda and I were glad to be able to spend time with you and Uncle Earl for so many years. We always enjoyed Uncle Earl's warmth and humour. It was so much fun to discuss travel, the movies, casinos, and the old days in Toronto and Crystal Beach. He was very well-informed (he loved CNN and the newspapers) and he had unique opinions about everything, especially Bubbie Sarah's cooking! We will miss him very much.

Auntie Norma, Heather, Marci, and Gordon. Lisa and I are deeply saddened at the passing of our very special uncle, Earl Rubinoff. We have many wonderful memories of him at family gatherings, like Hanukkah, birthday's and barbeques. He was a kind soul with a beautiful smile, and a love of chocolate. We enjoyed conversing with him about Vegas, the Blue Jays and our recent trips to Niagara. These are memories we will keep close in our hearts. Thinking of you all.
