Dear Leanne & Family,

During times like this the right words cannot be found. You are all in my thoughts as I know the pain you are feeling right now can be difficult to bear. I will always remember Gilbert as a very gentle and caring individual as he tended to his pets and I really enjoyed the little time I spent discussing things with him. Leanne, I know over time you will find that space where when you think of your Dad the good memories come before the sad ones … give it time.

Love, Carolyn James

Dear Lynne-Marie: I was so sorry to hear of the passing of your husband at such a young age. I hope you can find some comfort in all the good he did for others while on this earth.

Dear Lynne,
We are so saddened by the news of Gilbert’s passing. It was just such a short time ago we shared dinner at the Pulpit. May you find joy in memories and peace in knowing what a gift he was to you and to the world. I loved his attitude towards golf — not to take it too seriously.
Warmly,
Dorothy and Bruce

Dear Lynn,
My sincerest condolences in this difficult time.
Gilbert meant a lot to me as a colleague, a mentor, and a friend. I owe a lot to him. When I last saw you both together, I was impressed by your commitment to each other, dignity and grace.
I am one of the many fortunate persons to have known Gilbert, and I know he has enriched many other lives.

We have nothing but good memories of Gil from our time together at medical school. Our deepest sympathy to your family in this difficult time.

I was very sad to hear about Gilbert’s untimely passing. He was a colleague and a friend since we first trained together in pathology in Kingston over 20 years ago. My condolences to Lynn and the entire Fabris family.

Sorry to hear about your loss.

My thoughts are with you.

Dear Lynne
May the memories give you and the family strength through this difficult time.
I was fortunate to have worked with Dr Fabris and it was a
pleasure to know him and his humour.
Thank you for having us meet him at the gathering you had
before you went to Florida.
May he rest in peace.

Dear Lynne Marie,
It seems like such a short time ago that we were enjoying our night out for dinner at Gilbert’s favorite restaurant. You and Gilbert have been so amazing on this journey together that we could all take a page from your tremendous courage.
We are sorry you didn’t have him for longer…..he was a very special person and we know how much you and he loved each other. Cherish the memories.

With our sincerest condolences,
Lynne and Larry

Lynne Marie…sorry to hear about Gilbert. My thoughts are with you.

There are no words to express the loss that we are all feeling today. He was a great man that will be missed by many. We were blessed to have known him and are proud to say he was family.

We very much enjoyed knowing Gilbert and will miss him. Lynne, you are in our thoughts.

Lynne-Marie:
I was shocked and saddened to hear about Gilbert. My deepest condolences to you and your family.

Lynne-Marie, it is with much sadness for you and your girls that I send this condolence. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this very difficult time.

Let me say how saddened I was to hear of Dr Fab’s passing.
I had the privilege of working with him at E.G.H. in the lab until 2009 when I retired. He was an extremely kind and generous person with a great sense of humor. He was very encouraging and supportive when I had to cross-train in Histopathology. When I retired he came and spoke to me on my last day. It meant a great deal. I will always remember him fondly.
I can only imagine what an incredible loss this is for your family.
Please accept my sincere and heart felt expression of sympathy.

Donna King

Lynn
Fab. Was a guiding light for me when I worked at EGH then Osler. He was very encouraging, fair, and had a great commitment to the Lab and patient care. We had many a talk not just about work but his family who he cherished. He could always make me laugh, his sense of humor was priceless.
We are away in India for a month and I have thought of Fab.and his family everyday.
His passing is so hard to believe and he will be greatly missed.
My heartfelt condolences to you and the family.

MaryAnn and Geoffrey Hancock

My sympathies to Gil’s extended family. A tragic loss still so early in life is difficult to comprehend. My thoughts are with you.
From a medical classmate and a friend.

I was saddened to hear of Gilbert’s illness and now again by his passing. From being a colleague at Queen’s and whenever our paths crossed since, my memories will be of his commitment, his appreciation of life and of course his humour. He will be missed.
My sympathies to all his family.
Adrian

Dear Lynn,

I was very saddened to hear of Gilberts passing. I have had the great pleasure of working with Gilbert for many years–he was a true mentor to all who knew him. The success of our Quality Program at Osler is directly a result of Gilberts dedication and support over the years. He will truly be missed.

Pat Burton

I want to give my sincerest condolences to Lynne-Marie and the family of Gilbert on his passing. I was so pleased to be able to chat with Gilbert just before he left for Flordia. A man of courage, he will always be in our memories. I know those at William Osler will miss him greatly as his good works were admired by all. We at the Central West LHIN (Local Health Integration Network) both the Board and Staff also extend our sympathies. I know Gilbert left a great number of wonderful memories that will sustain you in this time of grief.

Leanne,

Our thoughts are with you, your mom and the rest of the family. We know how hard it is to lose someone so close and the emptiness can be overwhelming. Please know you have many friends who can help. If there is anything we can do, let us know.

My condolences to you and your family. I knew Gilbert from squash play in Bolton, a true gentleman.

I’m so sorry to hear about Gilbert ! I remember him well from the time we worked together at KGH Pathology .
He was a wonderful person always with a smile on his face.
May you rest in heaven.

Lynn Marie, I have been thinking about you lots lately. when I typed in your name to google, I see this, and I am instantly sad for you and the girls. I hope that some of the pain of your loss has eased.

I was a junior pathology resident at Queen’s University when Gilbert was completing his residency training. Many fond and humorous shared memories during and after residency. His professionalism, dedication and good sense of humor will be vividly remembered. Most sincere condolences to Lynn and the family.
