Dear SPEARHEAD Membership,

We have just been informed that one of our longest serving members,
Joseph Poirier, has passed away.  Joe has been a member since 1979.  He
has been an active member as the Elected Member for the Membership
Committee and was the Membership Director for several years.  His
passion for raising funds, collecting food and toys for our charities
will be missed.

On behalf of all of us on the Executive, I wish to pass on our deepest
condolences to his family and to all of his friends.

At this time we have no information regarding funeral arrangements which
we shall pass on when they become available.

Apologies for the Late Update

Dear Spearhead Fam,

I want to sincerely apologize for the delay in sharing this important update regarding one of our members, Joe Poirier.

I received a message from Ronald Gullis, who shared that Joe was admitted to Michael Garron Hospital on December 3rd. At this time, Joe is able to receive visitors. If you plan to visit, please keep in mind hospital protocols and ensure you coordinate appropriately to make the experience as smooth as possible for Joe.

Please keep Joe in your thoughts during this challenging time. As we receive more updates, we will ensure they are shared with you promptly.

Thank you for your understanding and support.

Warm regards,
Daniel Gustavo Masis

Dear Spearhead Brothers,

Mike Hart, is currently in the hospital and undergoing rehabilitation at Toronto Grace (Bloor & Church, Floor 4, Room 402). While he is recovering, he has expressed a desire to see some of his brothers from Spearhead.

If possible, please share this information with other members. It would mean a great deal to him if some of you could visit. The visiting hours are daily from 10 AM to 8 PM.

Let’s come together and show Mike that he’s in our thoughts!
