We Remember

We remember former corps members and staff of the Toronto Optimists, Seneca Optimists and Optimists Alumni who have passed away.

The "We Remember" Acrobat file is a work-in-progress and will be updated periodically. Names marked with an asterisk are missing either a photo, a write-up or both. If anyone has additions, corrections, information, photos, memories, etc., especially regarding those for whom we have only a name, please email them to Bob Carell (toronto_optimist at rogers.com) As people supply additional information, corrections and additions will be made. This information was last updated on January 23, 2012. We Remember: Acrobat file (as of January 23, 2012) We Remember: Video (as of January 23, 2012)

There are entries for the following individuals.
