Dale Allen
Dale Stanley Allen was born in Melbourne in 1942 to Mervyn Stanley Allen and Flora Elizabeth Anderson. Husband for a while, father for much longer, Dale had a range of varied hobbies, areas of expertise and interests. A classic car enthusiast, hot air balloonist, naturist, 3d photography hobbyist, watch collector, and avid film buff to name but a few. In his later years, he dedicated much of his time to education, being a member and eventually vice president of the Emerald chapter of the U3A including running and curating the regular Cinema Classics sessions. A raconteur of high order, Dale will be sorely missed by all of us who knew him. A bright spark with the wonderful ability to lift the spirits, make you think and bring laughter even in his final days.
Vincent Soto
With hearts full of love and memories, we share the passing of Vincent "Vince" Laurel Soto. Vince lived his life with arms wide open, embracing people and different cultures, which has brought him to places like Israel, Quebec, British Columbia, France, Peru and Argentina. Armed with his fiercely independent nature and the belief that travel is the best teacher, Vincent followed his wonder wherever it led him, be it through a new field of study, an unfamiliar language, his artistic inclinations in painting and fashion, and/or food. Vince is survived by his mother, Iluminada (Luming or Ada) Laurel Soto, predeceased by his father, Pantaleon ‘Loy’ Soto, siblings Nick (Noemi), Dette Pervez (Shahid +), Zizi (Chona), Aunt Zonie and Uncle Paeng, also cousins who adore his quick-wittedness and vibrant spirit, nieces and nephews, and grand nephews. Cremation has taken place and a memorial mass will be held in Vince’s honor on June 21, 2025, Saturday, 10:30 AM, at the St. Joseph's Church, 200 Morrish Road, Scarborough, ON M1C 1E8. Inurnment will be at the Resthaven Memorial Gardens at 2700 Kingston Road in Scarborough at a later date.
Dick Meek
"Celebrating Precious Memories" Caring brother, adoring father, loving grandfather, devoted husband, professional "storyteller", and gourmet home chef specializing in camping food and oyster dressing. Born in Columbus, Indiana to Mary Margaret Ricki and Woodrow Wilson Meek, Dick was the middle child of five kids. In 1972, he married Vickie Meek, and together raised three kids in Noblesville, Indiana. A person who valued spending time with his kids and grandkids more than a paycheck, he rarely missed his kids events. He had a life long love of pig's knuckles and cabbage soup. His recipes required no measurements. He took fashion cues from no one, taught his kids the art of sarcasm, and he would do anything for his grandkids. He was a quiet giant and one of a kind, who always put family first. And he went OUT the way he lived his entire life -- on his own terms. He made sure to say his goodbyes to his kids, his grandkids, his wife of 52 years, a priest, and then had a strawberry shortcake before closing his eyes...passing away peacefully in his sleep.

Fondly known as Dr So, Dr Solanke, Yinka, Mummy Doctor, and Mummy Poland, she was a devoted Catholic whose life was rooted in faith, service, and love. She had a deep love for God, a special devotion to the Saints—especially Saint Padre Pio—and was unwavering in her commitment to the Church and her community. She was an extraordinary mother to her two children, Tomi and Toyin, and a loving grandmother to her three grandchildren—Iremide, Tobi, and Rere.

She embodied the very meaning of family—keeping everyone close, connected, and reminded of the love that bound them together. She made sure no one ever felt alone. Dr. Solanke lived a life of generosity and compassion. She gave freely of her time and resources to help those in need, treating everyone like family.
