Cathy just saw this posting for the passing of your Dad. So sorry for your loss. Lyall always had a special place in my heart as one of the best Greco's regulars and then when we started our "date nights". He always had the best stories and jokes. He will be missed, and I'm sure he is keeping the girls busy where he is!!

Heaven received an amazing angel. This man was a great man. And I am proud to call him my grandpa. Every time I seen him he was always telling jokes with a smile on his face. I never seen him that often but when I did they we're all great memories. I'm sad that he had to go, but then I'm happy he left peacefully. All I know is the good Lord took him for a reason. He made an impact on many people and his memory will live on. I love you grandpa. And thanks for being the person you were and will always continue to be up in the sky. rest in paradise.

My condolences go out to the family of Lyall Vezina. It had been a long time since I had seen him but I do remember his sense of humour, outgoing personality and that laugh!! My Mom absolutely loved this man and would tell us stories of good times they shared. A very unique individual who will be missed dearly.

Today I heard the news of the passing of a Father to my friends, and in a way, to me as well. Life marches on, an old line but as true today as the first time I heard it. I likely heard that line either from Lyall or my Dad. Many things I heard from significant men in my life came from Lyall and my Dad. I mean if I wasn't at my house as a kid, then I most likely could be found at the home of my best friend Chris, but I got to know all his siblings and we all sort of hung around.
What I share, is of course only from my perspective, but I really got to know Lyall as well as I knew my own Dad. I truly saw as much of him as of my own father. Lyall was very similar to my Dad in a lot of ways, and I respect them both. Yeah they both had their own way of navigating life, that may have looked different on the surface but in reality very much the same.
They both had large families, and they did the best they could to provide and keep a roof over our heads, and food in our bellies! Lyall like my father was his own person, all the good and all the bad (Lol).
As I got older, I sort of got to know Lyall, as a young man. I took great pride in the fact that I could now swill back a few beers, with him on occasion. Ok I will fess up ---it was likely more than a few beers. Lol! Time marches on we all grow up, and lead our lives, but we cannot cheat death. It will come calling to us all.. There is a very old saying, and I remember my dad saying it. It is important to live each day as if it is your last. As I too get older I realize the wisdom in those words. I think I am beginning to live that way. I think to a large degree my father and Lyall did their best to live that way as well. Neither of them layed around and belly ached. They never made time for that. They kept busy, and lived life.
Lyalls passing is an opportunity for us to slow down and reflect on precious life. My thoughts are with all Lyalls family in their own time of grieving and loss. My parents are still with us, but they I know are in the final chapter of their lives. I knew all Lyalls children quite well. Yes we have all gone to live our lives, and have lost touch. Many of us are in different cities, provinces, and even countries. Yet there is a bond that was formed between the Duquette and Vezina family. In this extended family and as in all families there were fights, and I am not proud of my part in many of the non sensible actions I took. However that said, I remember many good times as well, and truly my heart is heavy today, as I reflect on all Lyalls' loved ones facing their loss, and each grieving in their own way.
Sincerely,
Greg Duquette

Chris & Lisa, Grey & Kathy, Cathy, Bob & Elizabeth, Rick & Lori, Matthew & Sandra, Susan & Frank, Mary Ellen, Vande & Family. I remember meeting Lyall from my days at University of Windsor with Vande. His die hard sence of humour was the best. He loved to laugh and joke and this kept him young. I will never forget his laugh. May the memories of him making you laugh and smile bring you comfort at this most difficult time. With Sympathy, Patrick Rose P.O. Box 13 Milo, AB T0L 1L0
