Sincere condolences to the Farley Family. It is with great sadness that I learned of the passing of a beloved father and husband. Gene was an outstanding individual and the world is a better place for his having been here. I recall with pleasure our post-graduate year at the Avenue Road apartment. Gene made even the dishwashing chore a pleasure as he recited from memory Robert Service's poem "The Cremation of Sam McGee." His work for the UWO class of '56 was greatly appreciated and his input will be sorely missed. Deepest sympathy. Ron Hall

Dear Donnie and family It was nearly 60 years ago when our paths first crossed as members of the same fraternity at Western. He was then, and remained, the person you have described in the obituary - a man of unwavering integrity, fun loving, with a warm sense of humour, a gentle man with such a deep concern and respect for others. While our mildly divergent career paths meant only occasional encounters over the years, when we did meet it always felt like the connection was still so fresh. What a joy it was to meet you at the Wheelrights again last summer! We are thinking of you at this most difficult time. With love, Eleanor and Gary

I am a retired Deloitte partner from the Touch Ross side. I met Gene at the time of the merger with Touche. We both served on the Board of Directors for a period. Gene and I were both brought up in Toronto in more or less the same area and we discovered we had many friends and memories in common. We became good friends and during the difficult early days of the merger Gene was a constant source of good humour and common sense. I enjoyed working with him very much. I met your mother a couple of times. Once again, we found much in common in our backgrounds and friends. I do hope her recovery proceeds well. My condolences to all the family.

While a lot of time seems to have magically vanished I still have fond memories of working with Gene on mutual clients when in Toronto in the late 60's and 70's when he and my father were both partners. I also remember Donnie clearly and wish her a speedy recovery; the loss of Gene is enough of a burden to bear. My sincere condolences to all those left behind by a fine man who has gone on to better.

"Friendships & nicknames" that last thru life. My condolences to the Farley family. Gene was roll number 54 in the the UWO chapter of Beta Theta Pi fraternity. His nickname was "Feasley" or "Feas", an adolescent corruption of Farley. Later, he became the Class Co-ordinator (volunteer class secretary) for the HBA Class of 1956. Great guy - very classy & remembered fondly by all Betas of his generation.

Donnie and Family, My parents Bard and Sonia, myself and family are truly truly saddened to learn of your wonderful husband and father's death. He and Donnie have been such good friends with my parents for decades. I remember one instance in particular when my mother's car would not start when leaving their house after a dinner. After the car was started, Gene insisted on following my mom home in his car to ensure that she arrived safely at her house. A small example of a wonderful person. We are thinking of you all very much at this time. Michael Bakker

Mrs. Farley and family: It was with great sadness that I read of Mr. Farley's passing. I had the privilege of being his PA from 1987 until his retirement from Deloitte & Touche. Our paths continued to cross over the years on rare occasions, the final one when he attended & spoke at my retirement party from Deloitte in 2008. I will always remember him as a true gentleman of the old school - ever polite to all and honest and fair in his work ethics. He's left us, but the memory of his gentle manner will remain with all who knew him.

Dear Mrs. Farley and Family, Our deepest sympathies on the sad passing of your beloved Gene. We saw his obituary in today's Globe & Mail. May our Lord provide you with comfort at this sad time. You will not know me, but I was associated with Gene in the early 1960's when Deloitte, South Africa transferred me to the Toronto office for a 2-year stint. During my stay in Toronto, Gene was incredibly friendly, supportive and helpful, and I have never forgotten this and also his ready smile and keen sense of humour. I remember that Gerry Knechtel was a good friend of Gene's, and he too was most helpful to my wife and me. We are now back living in Canada, and I greatly regret not having tried to make contact with Gene through our mutual friendship with Alister Mason. With every good wish. Sincerely, Colin Hultzer
