William Tatton

All the Tatton family,
Bill went to Medical School with many of my Calgary friends and we did our Ph.D.s together at U of T. Without Bill's help I never would have made through oral exams. We also did part of our post doctoral work in Philadelphia at the same time.
We only learned of Bill's death from the U of A alumni magazine today.
We mourn the passing of a good friend and a great scholar. Bill has left a lasting mark on Neuro Science and Neurology.

To THE TATTON FAMILY,

How saddened we are today to hear of Bill's death. Our family friendship
goes back to the 1950's, now another link is missing from our "Golden Chain of Friendship".

"Grief like the ocean comes in waves only to recede and come again, but with it comes healing. Memories wash ashore and are bathed by the golden sun. Grab hold of those memories and let them fill the emptiness, may they bring you peace."

In friendship and with caring,

Art and Dianne (Card) Grabatin

Dear Nadine and family,
I was shocked to learn of his passing. I worked with him for two summers as a student and he had a profound influence on me. I will never forget the first day I worked with him; he took an uninvited bite out of my sandwich. Such a character! Over the rest of my time with him I learned a LOT about neuroscience and about how to be creative as a scientist. I wish we had stayed in closer contact. My sincere condolences.

Dear Nadine,
I just found out about Bill's passing. Bill was an enormously positive influence and help when I was starting my scientific career at U of T and for that I have been forever thankful. His enthusiasm and dynamic leadership laid the foundations for the Toronto Western becoming a major neuroscience centre. My sincerest condolences.

Dear Nadine, Paul, Clark, Carren and Betty
I remember Bill with great fondness and respect for his many accomplishments. He was a "difference maker". Family was such an important part of his life and how proud and pleased he was of all of you. You will certainly miss him. My thoughts are with you all.
Fondly
Molly

Dear Nadine, Paul, Clark, and Carren

I was shocked to hear of Bill's passing which brought back a decade of memories, many of which were shared at times with each one of you.
I hope Bill wrote his book - he had such fun teasing me about a certain quote he said he was going to put in it.
My thoughts are with you all again as I share your loss.

To the Tatton Family,
We were very sad to hear of your loss. Gary and Bill were friends since childhood, and our entire family has happy memories of times shared.
Bill lived his life with great passion, and the world is a better place thanks to his dedication.
Sincerely,
Gary and Leslie Duchak

Dear Clark and the Tatton family,
I wish to express my deepest sympathies and most heartfelt condolences for your loss. The passing of a loved one is never easy, but try and take solace in the knowledge that Bill truly made a positive impact on this world and touched the lives of many through his work.
I'm very sorry for your loss and my prayers are with you.

Nadine: our thoughts and prayers are with you and the rest of Bill's family. Unfortunately Mother Nature and United Airlines combined to make it impossible for Christine & I to attend the service.

Clark....Jorga, Madison and myself would like to wish you our deepest condolences at this most difficult time. I know how proud you always spoke of your father but I assure you he was even prouder of you.

We are sorry for your great loss, Rob

Although only meeting Dr. Tatton once or twice, I feel I've known him for the past 25 yrs. Through the stories told by Paul and Clark, he became as much apart of my inner circle as anyone.
He taught me to fire his hunting rifle 20 yrs ago...never did play the violin after that...
Please know my heart and thoughts are with the entire family..always

Dear Nadine and family,
Our thoughts and prayers are with your family in this most difficult time. May the memories you have forever remain in your hearts and bring you comfort in the days ahead.
Your cousin - Susan and husband Brian Toth

Nadine,
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time.
