Dear Sophia, Michael, Margaret, David, Bill, Josh, Shira, Erika and Paige.
We were so sorry to hear of Moe's passing.
Although I did not know Moe well, I remember vividly a conversation that he and I had at Margarets's 50th birthday party. I was attending Carleton University at that time, and I was trying to figure out what to do with my life. After he so beautifully signed 'Wind Beneath My Wings' to Margaret, and after I had a good cry, he and I had a long conversation about working with children with Special Needs. I spent many years of my career doing this. And I think of him every time I hear that beautiful Bette Midler song.
I hope that the memories you have of Moe will embrace you during this very difficult time.
We are sending you all love and virtual hugs from Toronto.
Love Sari, Gary, Emma, Leah and Jillian. xo

My friendship with Moe dates back to Hillcrest High. So many fun fond memories, times that sculpted our individual futures.
Moe leaves behind such an incredible legacy, he has touched so many lives, with his laughter, knowledge and love. He in turn has molded so many kids' futures.- His impact will be long lasting with them, he lives on threw them.
My absolute deepest sympathies are with you in this incredibly sad time. Tracy Auger-Amendola

Dear Margaret, David, Sophie, Billy and all the dear family members who have lost Moe...

We are so so sad for this big gap that has been created by Maurice's passing. We have heard and read so many lovely thoughts and stories about Moe and know that he touched many many lives, particularly young ones. We know that the sadness will remain forever, but pray that you will remember your happy times with Moe and know that you are surrounded by family that is thinking of you and sending you strength.

With our love,

Dear Sophia, Michael and family,
Gail and I were so sorry to hear of you brother, Maurice's passing. We are thinking of you and hope there is some comfort in these tributes everyone is leaving. Our deepest sympathies.

Some years ago Moe mimed "The Wind Beneath My Wings" in American sign language as a tribute to Margaret on her birthday. It was a very moving gesture. Ever since then, whenever we hear that song, we think of that moment. That is how we will continue to remember Moe.
Dearest Margaret, David, Sophia, Michael, Bill, Joshua, Shira, Erika and Paige,
May you never know any more sorrow.
With love,
Bonnie and Steve

To the Sweeney family and friends,

So very sorry for your loss. I did not know Maurice very well other then to have shared some classes with him back at Hillcrest High School- He seemed like a good guy who was doing some more than commendable work with children's education and enjoying life. Hits home for me and all of Maurice's many fellow classmates , when friends and schoolmates pass at such an early age. May your time spent with Maurice and the fond memories you made give you some comfort at this most difficult time. Deep condolences.

Dear Sophia and Family,
Irving and I were saddened to learn of Moe's passing and send our deepest condolences. Please know that our thoughts are with you at this sad time. We are so sorry for your loss.

Thank you Moe for inspiring me to be a better teacher and encouraging me for being on the right path in my education and aspirations of being an early childhood educator. Your words will be forever cherished in my heart. Best of wishes to your family and loved ones. You will not be forgotten<3

Margie, Dave, Billy, Sophia and Family, my heart is heavy thinking of all the sorrow your family has had to endure. I have a special place in my heart for you all as you looked after me at a time when I needed you. I love you all so very much. We will keep you all in our prayers. God Bless!

I was very saddened to receive the news of Moes sudden passing. He was a huge and wonderful part of my childhood in Ottawa , I have nothing but beautiful memories from that time and they are filled with him. We kept in touch after my family moved away and through our teen years. I was lucky enough to reconnect with him in our twenties when he moved to London but unfortunately lost contact when he moved from there . Thanks to FB we reconnected through technology over these past few years . He was a wonderful person with amazing talents, and an exceptional eye for finding beauty all around . I will miss your beautiful photographs reminding us all that beauty is there if we only look . Thank you for all the childhood memories.

Aggie, Lloyd, Margie and family, once again you experienced a difficult loss....my heart goes out to you all, you are in my thoughts and prayers at this sad sad time. stay strong.....Love Always, Cousin Joannie

Dear Sophia & Family,
Thinking of you during this very sad time.
My deepest sympathies.
