It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Spencer Anthony White, in his 31st year.

Spencer leaves behind his beloved son, Grayson; his parents, Sam and Donna; his sister, Samantha; and his nephew, Samuel. He will be missed dearly by his friends and family across Canada and the United States.

Spencer was a man who could make anyone laugh with his sharp one-liners, and had a gift for making people feel truly seen. There was never an interaction with him that didn’t end in laughter (and often a head shake). Beneath his humour was a compassionate heart. He was known for bringing home “strays”—whether people or pets—welcoming them into his home, ensuring they never left hungry or thirsty, and allowing them to stay as long as they needed. He was the kind of man who would give you the shirt off his back, even if it was the last one he had.

A true wild and free spirit, Spencer found joy in the open road, beautiful views, and anything with an engine. Known for his mechanical skill, there wasn’t much he couldn’t fix, build or figure out. Above all else, he loved his family and especially cherished being a father to his son, Grayson. His presence, off-the-wall humour, and genuine heart will be deeply missed but never forgotten.

Cremation has taken place. A Celebration of Life will be held at Hammer Hogs in Caledonia on Saturday, September 20th at 4:30pm. All that knew and loved Spencer are welcomed to come and share their favourite memories of him.

With deep sadness the family of Terence (Terry) Michael Denstedt, announces his passing on September 8, 2025, at the age of 76. After a courageous battle with cancer, he passed away peacefully, surrounded by his loving family.

Born on May 19th 1949 in Kitchener, Ontario, Terry was a man who treasured the simple joys in life — the quiet patience of fishing by the lake, the thrill of a close baseball game, and the laughter shared around the family table. His unwavering dedication to his family and his warm, steady presence enriched the lives of everyone who knew him.

He was married for over 51 wonderful years to his beloved wife, Suzanne (Sue) Denstedt, who stood by his side through every chapter of their journey together. Terry worked at Stelco for over 30 years as a Chemist, where he was known for his strong work ethic, dedication, and camaraderie with colleagues.

Terry is survived by his wife, and their three children: Julie Kenyon (Dave), Mike Denstedt (Jacquie), and Danielle Denstedt (Brian). He was a proud grandfather of Austin (Jordan), Hunter, Elise, Hailey, and Sabrina, as well as a great grandfather of Flora. He is also survived by his sister, Mary Lou Denstedt. Terry is also survived by his brother-in-law Bill Clow (Shelly) and their children Chelsea Fee (Kyle) and Brett Clow.

Terry will be deeply missed by his extended family, many close friends across North America, and everyone who had the privilege of knowing his kind and steady presence.

A private celebration of life will be held at a later date to honour and remember him in the way he would have wanted — with stories, laughter, love, and alcohol.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Juravinski Cancer Centre, where Terry received chemotherapy and compassionate care over the past year. https://jhccf.pllenty.com/

He will be remembered always — for the calm he brought to those around him, the passion he had for the simple pleasures in life, and the love he shared so generously with his family.

Frank is survived by his daughters, Christa (Albert), Nicole (David); grandchildren, Nyla, Liam, and his brother Alan. Frank will be missed by his nieces and nephews. Frank retired from Stelco Parkdale Works after several decades. He is known for his passion for golf, watching the Blue Jays on TV and winning the lottery. Our dad grew up exploring and playing along the shores of the Grand River in Caledonia and the surrounding area. He loved Caledonia and would share stories about his escapades with his fellow childhood companions. We wish to thank the staff of RVilla, LHIN, CBI, Stedman Hospice and Brantford General Hospital for their kindness and compassionate care for our father. We thank Dr. Andrea East for her assistance.

Halyk, Andrew
It is with great sadness but fond memories that the family announces the passing of Andrew Halyk Andrew ("Andy") Halyk, born in 1935 in Birmingham, Saskatchewan to Hnat Halyk and Anna (née Novak), passed away peacefully on August 29, 2025, surrounded by the love of his family. He was in his 91st year.

A proud and lifelong sportsman, Andrew’s passion for athletics carried him through many roles — as a talented player, dedicated coach, and enthusiastic supporter of his community. He once won two provincial championships in a single day, playing for two different baseball teams, a story retold fondly throughout his life. His contributions to sport and community were honoured with his induction into the Simcoe Ontario Sports Hall of Fame.

He was also co-owner, with his beloved wife Jean (née Grinyer), of the Sportsman Restaurant — a gathering place named in tribute to his lifelong love of sport. Coaching his children’s baseball and hockey teams was among his proudest roles, passing down his love of the game to the next generation.

Andrew was the last surviving Charter Member of the Caledonia Lions Club, where he dedicated decades of service and held every role some even twice. Andy loved a good fundraising challenge and often walked his soles off in a clown costume during walk-a thons. His example of community service was a lesson he passed along to his children to uphold as well.

Beyond athletics and community service, Andrew built a respected career as a licensed mechanic, a trade he worked in for over 40 years. He also managed Grand Oaks Park, where he found joy in the trailer life each summer and accumulated even more lifelong friends..

Andrew will be deeply missed by his children Tammy (Mike), Andrea (Dave), Bradley (Melinda), and Michele (Greg); his grandchildren Lindsay, Heather, Jennifer, Carlie, Jesse, Joshua, Justin, and Tyler; and his great-grandchildren Shyla, Kendrick, Adalynn, Enika, and Ellex. He was predeceased by his wife, Jean of 56 years, son-in-law John Anstettt, sister Rose and brothers Bill, Pete, Alex, Edward, Johnny, Irvin, Sydney, Lawrence and Samuel. He is survived by his sister Myris Carpenter and brothers Ken and Walter Halyk (Sandie) and friend Eva Lynn. He leaves behind many beloved nieces and nephews along with numerous friends.

A celebration of Andrew’s life will be held on September 28th at Caledonia Lions Hall 1 pm-4 pm. We hope you will join us for a quiet one and share your fond and funny memories of Andrew’s life.

In lieu of flowers, donations to the Heart and Stroke Foundation are appreciated. Funeral arrangements entrusted to MILLER FUNERAL CHAPEL, Caledonia (905-765-2712). Friends and family are invited to send condolences and sign the Book of Memories at www.millerfuneralchapel.ca

Well, we can't turn back now. We're down to the studs and rafters - and who knew? - the hardwood floor. You may notice that in the right-hand photos, there is no window wall where it used to be at the rear of the chapel. A temporary wall has been erected to allow us to continue renovating and provide space for visitations and services at the same time.

We were asked if the chapel would be bigger when we're done. Well, it looks huge now, but the answer is yes, it will be. Plans are in place to allow overflow seating, but in the same space, where we can easily accomodate 250 people at once.

We are excited to announce that we finally have everything in place to begin our renovations. We have removed the pews (don't worry, we'll still have a chapel) and the panelling (don't worry, it is going to be repurposed). Once the demolition is done, we will be redecorating, installing brand new, modern lighting, a state-of-the-art Audio Video system and more.

We will try to update daily as things progress and if you want to follow the progress, be sure to like and follow our page to receive notifications.

It's a bit of a mess right now, but be assured, we are still here to serve you throughout the process and arrangements have been made to accommodate any requests that may come during the renovations.
