It is hard to accept that you are no longer with us, Dido. Like Gambi, you embodied love and selflessness in a way that touched everyone around you. I now understand where my dad inherited these qualities. Even after our move to Calgary, you and Gambi consistently reached out, inquiring about our hockey seasons, our school progress, and genuinely caring about our lives. Each Christmas, your generous gift, a cheque that I would spend in a heartbeat, were always met with excitement and gratitude.
The reality of not having the chance to see you one last time weighs heavily on my heart. This experience has reminded me of the importance of cherishing every moment with those we love. We will forever hold dear the wonderful memories we created together, and you will be forever missed, Dido.

Dido was truly one of the kindest and most caring people I've ever had the privilege of knowing. Over the past few weeks, I've found myself reflecting often on the memories we shared, and they never fail to bring a smile to my face. Whether it was going to sports together, learning magic tricks, or spending time at the cabin or in Ontario, I’m incredibly grateful for the joyful moments we had. My passion for food and cooking is one of the many quiet legacies Dido left me. His day seemed to revolve around meals — not just for nourishment, but as moments of joy. I have no doubt this passion (and appetite) was a direct result of him. While it truly saddens me that my time with him has come to an end, it brings me comfort knowing he is reunited with our Gambi. You are both very missed, and I hope you are both resting easy together. With love, Kira.

Dido was such a genuine character. Gentle, caring and an incredible sense of humour. He could make us laugh with his mannerisms, a well timed comment, and often times, with a simple facial gesture.
I remember when my parents, fiancé (Taylor) and I helped him downsize his house in Brighton. I never realized it as a younger boy but spending those 5 days with him then, we certainly realized just how much a creature of habit he was. Breakfast at 8:30 followed by a snack at 11:30 with sandwiches at 12:30 and so on and so forth. Needless to say, the Ukrainian in me was thrilled about the eating routine and it solidified that I get my appetite from the Wasylak side of the family.
Looking back, this trip was more special to me because Taylor was able to meet Dido and I know while it was only a short visit, it is even more cherished now.
While I’m sad that I won’t be able to chat with Dido again, I’ll carry his loving nature and sense of humour with me for generations to come.
Rest in peace Dido and say hi to Gambi for us.

Peter, Dad, and then Dido will always hold a special place in my heart. From the moment I was introduced to the Wasylak Family, I felt an unconditional love and support from Peter (and Betty). In my early years with Pete and Betty, they taught me how to curl, how to play bridge, golf and always inspired & encouraged my pursuit as a career woman, wife and mother. Having lost my father at the age of 14, Pete was an amazing father figure who treated me as a daughter and I am forever grateful for his love and support. We loved to chat all things 'curling, baseball, hockey and healthcare' - one of Pete's great attributes was his ability to listen, absorb and be thoughtful of people's points of view without judgement. Throughout my journey with him, I admired how much he and Betty cared for each other, the importance they placed on family and their ability to have fun in whatever they pursued. Thank you Dido for the love, support and lessons you have taught me - they have been etched in my heart and soul forever.

Dido was an extraordinary man. To me, he was not only a supportive and loving grandfather, but also a cherished friend. Lunch dates in Kingston, blueberry picking in Brighton, family vacations in Florida, and spirited card games in Ottawa, are fond memories I will cherish forever.
He embodied kindness, knowledge, patience, and respect, qualities that defined his incredible character. Dido was the epitome of chivalry and class, a true gentleman in every sense (even when the Bluejays were bombing yet another game).
The opportunity to share a multi-generational home with Dido in recent years was a profound gift. The exchange of stories and wisdom across three generations was a life-altering experience that will forever be held dear. We are incredibly grateful to my parents for making this possible, curating rich and meaningful time all together.
Dido and Gambi were remarkable individuals, and while they now rest peacefully together, their legacy continues to live on through those they touched. As the saying goes, "No one is actually dead until the ripples they cause in the world die away." Dido's ripples will undoubtedly continue to spread for generations to come.

Peter was the kind of person who asked how you were doing—and genuinely wanted to know the answer. He always cared deeply for everyone around him. As my partner for mini curling in the winter and Oka Board in the summer, we spent quality time together, and I had the chance to get to know a man who truly lived by his values. Always active—working out in the home gym, tending to the yard, or following the Blue Jays—his Ukrainian roots mixed with Saskatchewan farm life must have shaped a lifestyle built around full, active days. I will always find that inspiring.
I count myself very lucky to have met such a great man and am grateful for the time we shared.

I am heartbroken to say goodbye to a truly one-of-a-kind man, my dad, whose gentle laughter could fill a room and whose wit could brighten even the darkest day. He taught me that humour was a form of kindness, and that a well-timed joke could bring people together like nothing else. While I grieve his passing, I know that I will carry his spirit in every laugh, every funny story, and every moment of joy that I recall he gifted me. Bye dad and I know you may be gone, but the smiles you gave me will live forever.

You will me missed.
To an amazing father-in-law, pool partner and friend. From the day we met you welcomed me into your family with open arms. You've been there for our family since I met Wanda over forty years ago and I'm so grateful and blessed that we had you in our lives. I will miss you deeply and feel so fortunate to have spent the past three years with you in our home and in our lives. The memories I have of you will be cherished until my dying days as you were like a dear father to me.
My deepest condolences to Wanda, Deb, Terry and families but know the memories of your dad will live on in all of us.
p.s Praying for the Jays to take the pennant this year!
Love
Perry

One of my favourite memories with Dido will always be playing chess together. He was sharp and always so incredibly patient. I think I learned more about life in those quiet games than I realized at the time. We just celebrated his 90th birthday not that long ago, and I’m really grateful for that. It was a reminder of how much he meant to all of us, and how much love surrounded him. The way he treated my grandmother, Gambi, was something I’ll always remember.. he really adored her. The kind of love and respect they had for each other is something I think we all hope for in life.
And then, of course, there were the Blue Jays! Whether they were on a winning streak or testing our patience (more likely), he was always watching, always cheering.
Dido lived with so much quiet strength and kindness. He was steady. Present. And he made you feel like whatever small moment you were sharing with him really mattered. I will miss our chess games, and I miss him. But I’ll carry those memories with me—always. I know Dido and Gambi are now reunited. Love you Dido.

Peter was such a kind, sweet, good-natured man. He dealt with adversity with dignity and a positive attitude. Even with his severe heart disease, he never complained or felt sorry for himself. He cared for Betty during her illness with love, patience and devotion. He was always anxious to help others and he was fun to be with. We all miss him enormously.
