Here are some words from a few members:
From Rachel Boyd: What a beautiful gift you were to us all Fred Mandryk. (Big Dawg). Our thoughts and prayers and all our love goes to the love of your life Debbie, and your daughter Kira. You were a friend, a teacher, a mentor and the ultimate gentleman. Generous and funny, always helpful, always kind. You were an inspiration to us all. You mentored me through my Presidential year at The Rotary Club of Bowmanville. We all love you and Debbie so much. Rest in Peace my beautiful friend.
From Joe Solway: Fred meant so much to Rotary. His loss leaves a huge hole. As a new Rotarian, for me Fred was a mentor and inspiration and a huge support in starting the Concert to Feed the Need, becoming one of its main sponsors. Thank you Fred for your great service. Your spirit lives on.

Ann was the devoted wife of Robert Stewart Scott and a loving mother to Susan (Glenn), Fiona (Ewen), Stewart (Maria), and Lynne (Kevin). She was a proud grandmother to eight grandchildren and a treasured great-grandmother to four great-grandchildren, all of whom brought her tremendous joy. She is survived by her brother Robert and was predeceased by her brother Joseph. Ann graduated from Dunfermline College of Physical Education (Aberdeen, 1957). Ann lived a life dedicated to helping others. Alongside her husband, Bob, she travelled extensively throughout the world to support The Rotary Foundation's polio eradication initiatives.
