    It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of our cherished brother, Liberato (Libby) Masucci, on June 12, 2024, at the age of 59. He will be deeply missed by his mother, Rosaria; his brother, Tony, and sister-in-law, Mirella; his sister, Mary (Raffaela), and brother-in-law, Phil. He will especially be missed by his nephews, Joseph, Sebastian, Ryan, and Jordan. Libby is now reunited with his father, Giuseppe. Libby was born in San Massino, in the Province of Campobasso, Italy, and came to Canada when he was 5 months old. He was very proud of his Italian heritage. Libby’s greatest joy was spending time with his family and watching the Boston Bruins play hockey. He was an avid sports enthusiast who loved watching all sporting events. Affectionately known as Uncle Buck, Libby loved seeing his nephews and always had a big smile when they visited. For those who knew Libby well, his unique way of speaking was infectious. Although he has departed from this world, his spirit will continue to fill the hearts of those fortunate enough to have known him. He will be terribly missed and most remembered for his infectious laugh and sense of humour. He will always be remembered as the life of the party. We will cherish our special memories of him, carrying them with us through difficult times and celebrating with them during the good times. Libby’s memory will forever be a source of comfort to all who were blessed to have known him. May he rest in peace.

    It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Kenneth C. Butler in North Bay, Ontario on April 23, 2024 at the age of 86. Kenneth, fondly known as Kenny, was a devoted husband to Lillian and loving father to Cliff, Marion, Sandy and Patti (predeceased). Kenny will be greatly missed by his six grandchildren Jennifer, Chad, Karrie, Nathan, Che and David, as well as his many great grandchildren. Kenny came from a long line of ironworkers which included his father and two brothers. His proud work on a variety of construction projects have stood the test of time and include the Burlington Skyway, the CN Tower and Canada’s Wonderland to name a few. He brought his passion home with him and always seemed to have a project on the go. He loved nothing more than to putter at Trout Lake and was always the first to lend a helping hand to friends and family. Kenny had a huge heart which extended to animals of all kinds. In keeping with Kenny’s wishes, cremation is to take place. A private celebration of his life will be held for family and friends at a later time.
