Condolence From Andy Rickaby

Mon, 29 May 2017 01:24:34 EDT

Dear O'Grady Clan, It is with a heavy heart I write this note. We were deeply saddened to hear of Carl's passing. Although most of us have reluctantly moved away from Long Lake, many (too many mention) vibrant wonderful memories will live on and add to the folk lore of Long Lake. Carl, Coleen and indeed all of you, were the glue that brought our enclave of campers together for so many years. Whether it was work parties on the road, corn roasts, water skiing, dock building, sauna raising, impromptu rescues (several), fishing trips, canoe trips, berry picking and the list goes on. He was a principaled man of utmost integrity and conviction, a loving father and husband, a generous friend and neighbour. A man I personally held in high esteem along with my own father and George MacMaster. A mentor to me on many wilderness trips and truly our saviour one day when Terry, Mark and I got caught up the creek in a terrible thunderstorm.. His booming voice and indelible spirit will live on in the annals of our Long Lake memories. The ones I hold dearest. Kindest Regards and Deepest Sympathies, Andy Rickaby C/O John, Marian, Janet, Heather and Andy ( The Rickaby Family) Long Lake 1967-2007 email: nabus@shaw.ca

To my cousins - My heart goes out to each and every one of you during this time of grief. Your Dad was a man we all looked up to and admired. Fond memories are not far from mind when I think about Uncle Carl. When he spoke with you (even when he was playing a trick which was most of the time) he looked you right in the eyes and captivated you. Memories are even fonder still when I think about Uncle Carl AND Aunt Colleen. Aunt Colleen with that fantastic open mouth laugh and that superb whistle!! Your parents were so proud of their brood and no doubt your Dad knew you would be all ok - so when your Mom whistled, he knew it was ok to go....not that she would have given him much choice!!! Much Love and Peace - Kasey and Family xo

To the O'Grady Family Our thoughts and prayers are with you. While this is a difficult time we trust you will cherish the many memories created over the years. My memory of your father is of someone who enjoyed life and lived each day to the fullest. We can take refuge in knowing that there is life afterwards where we will be united again. John 5:24

Kevin, Carol Ann, Lori, Jennifer, Mary Beth, Cheryl and Families Each of you are in my thoughts and in my heart as you deal with the loss of your father - a very unique, devoted, and strong individual. Losing him so soon after your mom's passing must intensify the loss of each of them, and also bring clarity and meaning to their powerful presence in each of your lives - two very special people. Sending you much love, Sheila Arges

Dear Cousins Kevin, Carol Ann, Lori, Jennifer, Mary Beth and Cheryl I can still see Uncle Carl, sitting in the rear of your boat, shipping us all up to your camp. He was good to us. My heartfelt condolences to all of you and to your families. You've been through a lot in a short time. I keep you all in my thoughts and prayers. Love Cousin Patricia

Dear Cousins, I truly wish that there was something I could say that would take away the pain and sadness of losing yet another cherished parent. My memories of Uncle Carl and plentiful and very dear to me. You are all very much in my thoughts and prayers. Love, Cousin Catherine

Condolence From Jean Walsh

Mon, 22 May 2017 11:23:37 EDT

To the O'Grady family - I am so sorry to hear of your Dad's passing. He and your mom will always have a special place in my heart. They always came to weddings and funerals in the Soo or wherever family gathered. Carl has always reminded me of my Dad, Jim Walsh in appearance and speech inflection. Colleen and Carl would brighten up a room and always had an amusing story to tell. It is indeed a sad day but I am sure they are together again and having one tremendous party! My thoughts and prayers are with you.

To the O'Grady Family: How truly blessed you have been to have parents like yours. We fondly remember them both. Your dad was an upstanding member of his parish and devoted countless hours for the betterment of the parish. He was a committed Catholic! He holds a very special place in our memories with your mom always at his side. Please accept our prayers and thoughts during these difficult days. God bless you all.
