Karen and family, so sorry to hear of your loss, (Alex) Mr. Shearer was a favorite teacher of mine he always made you laugh while still getting his point across. He will be dearly missed.

Karen & Richard, Gordon & Sue, David & Lana,

We both are so very sorry for your loss.

Gordon, David and Karen:
My heart goes out to you! Alex was such a wonderful man and he and Leigh were good friends of ours over the years. We will miss him and his good Scottish humor at Christ Church.

We are so very sorry to hear of the loss of Mr. Shearer. He was a friend of my parents (Lorne and Jackie KIng) and we chatted many times when he used to come to the Bolton branch of the library to get books. He was a really lovely man that left a wee imprint on our hearts. He will be sorely missed. Kelley and Geoff Potter

Our deepest condolences on the passing of Alex. Such a warm and witty man. He was a good friend to my parents, Joan and Bill Cardey, for many, many years as had been your mother. We always received such a cheery greeting and a hug when we saw him in church. It will not be the same without him.

Dennis says, “I cried with you”.

I say, our world has lost a lovely man, but your mom will be joyful at their reunion.

My heart is with you all during this very difficult time.

Gord & Sue, Kath & Sean, Michael & Victoria, we love you very much. Hugs from Dennis & Carol-Ann & family.

So sorry to hear about your dad, it’s never easy to loose someone we love may all your good memories of time well spent carry you through the hard times.

with much love,

Linda

Gordon, David and Karen, I’m very sorry to hear of your loss. My prayers will be with you and yours during this diffucult time.

So sorry to hear the sad news. My thoughts and prayers are with the family. I will miss Alex’s great sense of humour.

A good tough Scot! I was fortunate to spend some time speaking with Mr Shearer at Karen’s wedding which is a nice memory to hold. I remember Geography class when he was teaching us how to fold a map. I am still not very good at it. I will miss the “cheeky banter” we always shared.

Rest in peace.

I am so sorry to hear of your loss, my thought’s & prayer’s are with you
hold on to the memories you have of your dad & grandad

We have so many lovely, happy, funny, beautiful memories of the times we spent with Alex and Leigh and all the family. He will be sadly missed but can finally be with the love of his life again.

Absolutely loved Mr. Shearer. Years after high school I was fortunate enough to make his acquaintance again at Adjala Public School’s student plays. His grand daughter Kathryn and my daughter Katherine were friends. Small world. Great man. Wonderful teacher. God Bless.

Karen and family. I am so sorry to hear about your dad’s passing. I have lovely memories of his great laugh and spirit. Please take care of yourselves during this time. I am thinking of you.

I learned early on that the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree in the Shearer family. I have been fortunate enough to be a part of the “Shearer extended family” for over 10 years and from the minute I met Karen and David, I knew that they must have come from very special parents. With their enormous compassion, eagerness to help in any situation, sarcastic sense of humor, witty banter, and their huge hearts, I was not at all surprised when I met the wonderful man they called dad who shared those exact qualities, his spunky stories, his love for life and love for his family. He will be missed beyond words. Thinking of you all xo

It was amazing when Karen entered Richard and our lives and also meeting Alex . Family functions were confirmed always asking, “will Alex be there?”, because we loved seeing him so much. He was charming, smart and fantastic company. He had the best sense of humour. We are shocked and sadden by his passing. We will miss him greatly. May he rest in peace.

Karen, David and Gordon and Shearer family. I just heard about your dad’s passing. I’m so sorry. He was such an amazing guy. So kind and funny and wise. I will never forget working in the garage with him during the kitchen cabinet adventure days. We made a hilarious combination. We got to know each other so well that we would argue over the stupidest things (your dad could be very stubborn at times 🙂 But then your dad would disapear and comedown with a tray of tea and cookies, or some of his homemade beer and of course make one of his legendary wisecracks and we would both laugh and forget what we’d been arguing about. His guidance and patience during that year were so important to me. I was all over the place trying to figure things out in my life and your dads kindness and friendship and sense of humour meant a lot to me. I wish I’d kept in better touch with him than I did but I thought of him often and in fact as recently as last week. I will definitely be there on Saturday for the service to pay my repects and offer my sympathies in person. In the meantime if there is anything I can do to help out in anyway please just let me know.

Gordon, David, Karen and Family

Sending our deepest sympathies and that we are all very saddened to learn of the passing of your Dad/Alex.

We have so many wonderful memories of our families as neighbours back on Dorward Drive in Rexdale and then again on the 3rd line in Bolton. Cherished indeed.

From my Dad, Ron Shearer, brother of Alex and myself, Niece, We are very sorry to hear about the news. I cannot say what my father feels but a brother is a brother, and for me Uncle Alex, i know your laughing and dancing with Aunty Leigh, Thank you for the good times when i was younger, Condolences go out to the rest of the family.

Love to you all. Alex has always been a part of our lives and we cherish lots of happy memories. He was my “big brother ” growing up and I cannot remember a time in my life when wasn’t part of it.
Angles wings for Alex.

Gordon , David and Karen –
Sorry to read about the passing of your Father. I would meet him back at Humberview School. Remember your school bus driver ? Edna.

So sorry to hear of your Dad’s passing. I hope you remember all the times you laughed together.

Gord and family, our thoughts and prayers are with you. Many fond memories of your Dad, both as a teacher at Mayfield and many nice chats over the years in town. I’m smiling now 35 years later thinking of drafting class and his daily predictable ” get out your books” with that great accent of his. Nice memories of a good teacher and friend.

Dear Gordon, David, Karen and Family,
We were saddened to hear of Alex passing.
He was a wonderful, warm, loving, kind hearted, humorous man. His presence here on earth will be missed, but he will live on in our memories, Our thought and prayers are with you during this difficult time. May God’s peace, that passes all understanding, comfort you as you go through this difficult time.
All our love, from Wayne, Rose, and Janice and Paul and their families.

We were very sorry to hear of Alex’s passing. He was one of life’s great characters. He was a funny, kind and entertaining man who always had a story to tell. We have two daughters who have enduring memories of Alex from meeting him at Peyton’s wedding and the kindness he showed them. I hope he is at peace with Leigh.

We were sad to hear of Alex’s passing. He was a wonderful gentleman who was humble and had a great sense of humour. We had so many story to tell and so entertaining. We have two daughters who have enduring memories of Alex because of his kindness to them and his ability to connect to all that knew him.
Rest with Leigh Alex. We will miss you.

I am so sorry to hear of your Dad’s passing. I am sending you my deepest condolence.

It was a shock to hear about your wonderful father’s passing. His humour and insightful discussions will greatly be missed. Our prayers and condolences are with you all.
Andy, Mary, Nick, and Chris

There’s not a lot of teachers that made a huge impact on someone’s life, but Mr. Shearer sure did. He will be missed by this student from the 1970’s
My condolences to his family

I had the pleasure of meeting your father when he came into the travel agency many years ago. Always a joy to see and speak to with his wonderful sense of humour and ready smile.
Sorry to hear about his passing.

Our thoughts are with you at this sad time. Alex was such a lovely man and he will be missed greatly. We have many happy memories of both Alex and Emmy. Much love to you all.

My thoughts and prayers go out to the family. I have fond memories of Alex during the years we worked together at the Humberview. Alex was a great family man and a dedicated teacher. He was my mentor at the Humberview and I will sadly miss him. Condolences to the family.

Dear Gord,
I’m so sorry to hear about your dad. He was a good man. May God comfort you during this time of grief. Please give my sympathy to your family also.
your friend and fellow (ex) cadet,

Pat (Reid) Bennett

Just got a phone call today March 31/14 from Sue Dupuis to let me know of Alex’s death. My heart goes out to his family. He was such a bright light to my husband Marvin and myself. He would always send me a Christmas card that he scribbled a very gracious greeting as I know that writing mustn’t have been easy for him in his later years.
