Judy and Kathy, I have not met you both but I want to say that your father was a very special man. His love and kindness was far reaching to those who knew him. I must say that I was shocked at the news of beloved Mr. Tilley's passing away when I checked the obituary in Toronto Star. Mr. Tilley will be very sadly missed. He was a man of great determination and overcame many challenges and continued living with happiness. I had the greatest pleasure of arranging all their travel plans for many many years until they could do it no more. I promised Mr. Tilley when his leg was amputated that I will relocate to make it possible for him still to come to the travel office and it was to all our joy that in 1995 both Mr. & Mrs. Tilley walked in to the new location at 795 Eglinton Ave. East to celebrate the new Wise Travel location and Mr. Tilley cut the cake for us. I was always welcome at their house on Parkhurst as I checked on their wellbeing time to time until the house was sold. I enjoyed being a privilleged friend rather than a travel agent for all these years. I missed them always especially when I passed by their house on Parkhurst. Mr. Tilley you gave me the chance to say the final good bye which I missed in case of Sylvia. I will remember you always. May you enjoy the heavenly peace now. Sumani Thomas Express Travel
