Everett became known to me while he and his son Glenn cared for Velma at the Vera Davis Centre in Bolton. Through my journey with my husband’s illness, Everett was a good friend and neighbour. Later on as I became aware of Everett’s strong Christian faith, he invited me to attend Albion Hills Bible Church. He remained a good Christain friend and I know he is ‘home’. God Bless his family.

Deepest sympathy and empathy for your great loss.

Mr. Furlong, as I knew him was a great guy, very fair, a great family man and a very devote Cristian. I use to chum around and walk to school with Glenn almost every day as a youngster and yes, Kevin was usually around as well. Mr. Furlong worked along side my Uncle Howard Coates and Mr. Valiant at Ontario Hydro.
Glenn and Kevin both were and are considered very good friends of mine. My sincerest condolences Glenn and Kevin with the passing of your father. My brother Glen showed me the stone at Laurel Hill, just down from my dads stone and I was quite shocked. I will drop around the house shortly to see you in person. I will look for the red pickup truck. Blessings to you all.

Grandpa was a very special man. He loved unconditionally even if you were not blood. Heaven has called an angel home. I hope he is with Gramma. I know my family misses him everyday and I don’t think he will ever know how important he was, especially to Keith and Damian. Keith considered him a father and our loss has been profound. We sense him around us though. We love you Grandpa and live everyday to make you proud.
Love The Furlong Family xoxoxo
