Dorothea, sending my thoughts of sympathy at this sad time to you, Sam, the kids and the Hirte Family. The loss of a parent is a great loss, by reading some of these entries, your dad sounded like an incredible man. Like father, like daughter!

Joyce and I would like to express our deepest condolences to the family on your father's passing. From reading the obituary, it seems like he made a lasting impression on his battle to cure cancer, and on his family. Sounds like a great man, and a man of strength.
Fondly, Dave and Joyce Berg

To the Hirte Family,
It is with deepest sympathy that I write you this note. I knew Holger in High School and we then went our separate ways to various Universities.
I am so blessed to still have both of my parents with me, but as life goes on we all know that we must face a loss of a parent or Spouse at some point.
My prayers will be with your entire family in your time of sadness.
Warmest Regards,
Campbell "Cam" D. Burron

Dearest Dorothea and Sam
Rob and I were saddened to hear of the passing of your father. I remember meeting your parents very briefly, and what I remember most was the happy, loving environment in your home. Your parents have left an amazing legacy in you children and now your grandchildren. I am sure you have many memories as well - cherish them.
with love and condolences
Dori and Rob

Dorothea & Sam.
I've only met Dorothea's father once (at your wedding), but was overcome by his enthusiasm, generosity and spirit that I've never forgotten him.
He has left his mark on this world, and that is something to certainly celebrate !
Thinking of you both,
George and Cindy.

Dorothea:
Sorry to hear about your loss. My sympathies are with you as your's were with me when my Dad passed away (and I appreciated your support back then). I can say that it does get better with time and the memories that linger are good ones. So take heart in that.
Please accept my condolences.

Dear Dorothea and family,
I’m so sorry to hear the sad news.
Your dad had a wonderful, bubbly personality.... he had a refreshing curiosity of the world around him.
I think of him when I pass Roncevalles Ave.... he liked to pronounce it the french way.... not the funny way Torontonians pronounce it.
He will be missed greatly.
All my love,
Wendy

To the Hirte Family, as a former patient back in 1976 i am forever grateful to Dr. Hirte for his tenaciousness in finding a drug to cure my muscle cancer, his compassion and genuine concern for his patients was outstanding. I am grateful to be alive today. I want to extend my deepest sympathies to Dr. Hirte family in these most difficult times.

I was blessed by having worked with Dr. Hirte on the Oncology ward at the Civic. I first met him when we were on 1 East North and then worked with him on 1 Pavillion North. I will always remember him for his compassion and tender care to his patients and for his respect and willingness to help me expand my knowledge.
My thoughts are with you all.

Dear Hirte Family,
although I never met Dr. Hirte, I almost feel as if I knew him personally. My wife Brigitte used to work with him for many years in the
Cancer Clinic at the Civic Hospital and she always spoke very highly of him.
Not only that, but now I find out that we grew up in the same hometown where I lived from 1932 until 1947 with interruptions by military service,including a period as PoW.
I attended the famous Francke Foundation "Latina", which he possibly did too.
We sometimes drove by your place on the way to Baskin's Beach.
We arrived in Canada in 1953.
May God bless you in your loss.

Dear Barbara and family,
Our thoughts and sympathy are with you at this time. Wolfgang was a remarkable man and it has been a wonderful priviledge to know him over the years since we moved next door to you in Dunrobin. I can still see you and he riding Rummy, Naja, and later on, Appy, in the field. Sometimes he would be working away in that big garden. He had many wonderful years, helped countless people in need of his skills, and raised a great family. Wolfgang's cheerful smile and hearty laugh will be missed by all who knew him, and he will be remembered with the same love and respect we had for him during his lifetime.
May God give you the comfort that only He can give.
With sympathy,
Rae and Lillian
