Dear friends and family,

As you know, Neil Collishaw died on October 10, 2024. At that time, we had a lovely service at Beechwood Cemetery in Ottawa, which some of you were able to attend. Many more sent loving messages, which we appreciate very much.

His body was cremated at Beechwood, and his ashes rested there until I completed arrangements to bury him at Woodlawn Cemetery in London, Ont., our hometown.  My parents are buried there, beside the river, and there is space in their plot for more urn burials, so we decided to make it our final resting place as well.

We are going to proceed with burial at 2 p.m. on October 3, 2025. The ceremony will be brief, as we had many speeches and reminiscences last year (Explore this website for a video of that event). 

After that, about 3 p.m., we invite you to gather informally at the Grad Club on Western’s Campus (Middlesex College) to catch up on the years or decades and share our memories of dear Neil.

Please let me know if you will be able to join us for all or part of the afternoon.

Barb
