Dad/Gigi, 12 years since you left us for a better place. 12 years that I didn´t have a dad to ask questions or get advice from. You were so generous, I miss the thoughtful gifts. I am happy you have mom now with you but we miss you both so much. Continue to watch over us and I hope you are proud of all of us, we would not be where we are without your influence and pushing at times. Love you and miss you xoxoxo

We miss you a lot and wish we had had more years with you. Shine on you crazy diamond, wish you were here xo

Dad/Gigi, it has been 9 years today since you left us. It feels shorter and yet longer at times. I still think of you and hold on to the memories, but they are getting a little more distant. But I have pictures that I can look at xo
I hope you are enjoying Heaven, you must be chatting with everyone and patting all of the dogs xo
I miss you so much. Please continue watching over us and mom xo

On March 18th I visited you, Dad, at the hospital and you said your last words to me, Stop bothering me!. You died March 20, 2012. Today, it has been 8 years that we have gone on without you. It feels like you were here yesterday and yet it also feels like you have been gone for so long. You are dearly missed and it is not the same celebrating family events without you. You were not always an easy father but I was not always an easy daughter. You always pushed me and now I realize how lucky I am that you did. You were generous with me, helped me get my licence, first car, paid for my University so I could be the teacher that I am today, sent me to Europe with my classmates in grade 11. I am where I am now because of you and Mom, and I no longer take that for granted. I really appreciate everything and I hope that you know that. Keep watching over us and keep us safe through these difficult times in our current world. I love you and miss you, I wish my girls still had their Gigi, you were so amazing with them. Love you xo

Dad/Gigi, today would have been your 62nd birthday. You were too young to leave us but you were no longer yourself and you would have suffered. I imagine you often in Heaven, chatting with others and I know you are with us when I see a dragonfly or I find a dime on the ground. We miss you. We continue living as a family but it is not the same without you. We miss you and wish you were here. Love Steff (Dan, Jess and Mel) xo

I watched you die with a broken heart.

And every day I miss you so.
Love always,

Hi Uncle Jeff
I've thought about you each and every day this past year. I'm constantly reminded of visiting you throughout the year, whenever we would see family in Vermont, and hoping you would be able to see Michael and Sarah. I'm grateful that I was able to tag along with you and Aunt Susan, when we all went to Niagara, and still remembering having one of the most relaxing days in a long time. Thank you for your taste in music, and unfortunately, being introduced to more Pink Floyd within the past year. You were like a second father, who would always jump at the chance to make fun of our own, especially when Greg and I wouldn't dare.
Love you and always remember you - Jeffy
Jennifer
March 20, 2013
Every day of this past year there has been something that makes me think of Dad. A funny story about the boys that he would have liked to hear, a dumb story in the newspaper he would have liked to read. Then there are the thoughts of moments shared with Dad. How he knew the answers to most of my questions or he would find out. How he spoiled us rotten (and we loved it!). I wish we'd had more time together, but I'm grateful for the time we got. Weep not for the memories.

Such wonderful memories we have of you
It makes us smile, just thinking of you.
The Christmas parties, so long ago
Your muscle car, that you never drove slow.
Your love of music, different to be sure
The treats you brought the kids from the store.
Your love of cameras and anything new
Always something different, when we visited you.
Your walks, your talks to all you met
There are so many people who will never forget.
Soaking in your pool, maybe taking a nap
Or reading a novel with a book in your lap.
Greg and Jeff thought the world of you
And got lots of laughs from things you would do.
Such a wonderful friend to me and Bill
We love our Jeff and miss you still.
So many wonderful memories of our
Brother-in-law, Friend, Uncle and Godfather
Love you
Bill, Gail, Greg, Jeff, Lyndi, Michael and Sarah

My Uncle Jeff was intelligent, incredibly funny, caring and often highly inappropriate. I've never met a man as generous in spirit or as able to make instant friends from complete strangers as he. At the same time, he could appear intimidating to some until they got to know him better; except for children and animals. They always seemed to instantly see the kind and gentle man behind the sometimes rough exterior.
Growing up, we would visit the Spazuk's almost weekly. It was our second home and the Spazuk's were our second family. He was a great man and I'll miss him very much.
Love your God-son

J.J. you made everyone you met a friend. Loved to talk to argue and to listen. You were a big part of our lives,and we are richer having known you. You left behind a wonderful wife,children and grandchildren. You were rich. We miss you so our dear friend. Love you.
