Hello; on behalf of my sisters [Joan, Judy, Maureen and Nancy], we extend our sympathies to the Moxley family on the passing of your father, Clarence. We grew up near Ramsayville which is very close to Hawthorn; our grandmother, Annie Miller was a sister to Florence Moxley. As children, we would have met Cyrus and Florence Moxley at Hawthorne church. Our mother [Muriel Macartney] always spoke highly of the Moxley family and that your dad and his brother, John Ellis both attended university and went on to serve agriculture. I met your dad, Clarence on many occasions as I worked for the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food as an advisor to livestock farmers. Your dad was well respected by the farming community and in particular by his clients in the dairy and livestock sectors. I notice that a memorial service will be held in Ontario in the spring. Would you advise me of the time and date. Thank you.
I was sorry to hear of Clare’s passing. My late wife, Betty and I lawn bowled with Clare when he lived in Campbellford. He was president of the club at that time. He indeed was a quiet gentle soul who always brought calm where ever he was. As well as being a very good bowler, he led the club in his quiet way that only Clare could. I wish all of the family well as they travel down this new road without Clare’s gentle guidance, although I am sure he will be with you always in spirit and fond memories.
