It was a privilege to have shared time with your father (and grandfather.) I cherish the memories of our conversations. His gentleness has made a lasting impression upon me. My heart is with you - when our dear ones live so long some part of us believes that they will always be there. And of course so much of him does remain alive within each one of you. Blessings.

My mother, Margaret Inglis, was a friend of Dr Banfill for the last 5 years of her life. They met at the Griffith McConnell. Through my mother I had the great priviledge and honor of meeting Dr Banfill. He was a true gentleman and a gentle man, a lovely soul and he will be sorely missed. My deepest sympathies to your entire family.

I find myself thinking of him in so many ways and wanting to tell him the latest "stories" which he always loved. What a brillient person! There is nothing that did not interest him. Imagine if we all lived with his attitude of embracing life and appreciating everything.
I can see his room from my office and it is so sad to see his light no longer on. The world is not quite as bright without him.
He taught me so much. I will always remember this dear friend.
My deepest sympathy to you all.
Sincerely
Heather

Though I had only known Mr. Banfill a few days (during his illness and stay at the Montreal General), I thought to myself: this is a man I would like to have known. I'm sure he would have been a very interesting conversationalist, as he lived a long and eventful life. It is my sincere pleasure to have cared for him.
My heartfelt sympathy to his family.
Sincerely, Laura

A wonderful professor, mentor and, eventually, friend. Martin helped shape my life for which I have always been truly grateful.
