On Sunday May 6, we celebrated the life, and mourned the death, of Bill Osborne, longtime choir member and leader in this congregation and others. He was active as a chemical engineer for CIL, and met his wife on his first job with them in Nobel, Ontario: 'I loved my life, I loved my wife' He came from Medicine Hat, where his parents' gravestone reads: 'He looked for the good in others - and gave the best he had'. He and Jean did so in Scarboro UC in Calgary, St Peter's in Sudbury, and here. We were reminded of a brief testimony he gave on February 19, one in a series in which volunteers and leaders affirmed their lay ministries. You can hear it if you click on the arrow beside the speaker icon below, and wait while he reaches the lectern from the choir loft, and began with a quip about his slow pace.
