In Memory Of:

A wonderful husband, father and special Grandpa.

Don had a great sense of humour, and enjoyed playing golf and darts.  Anyone who knew him, has fond memories or funny Don stories to tell.  He is greatly missed by all.

Elsie was also affectionately known as "Mother Elsie" and as "Nanna" to many.

A simple and honest woman, Elsie was always willing to lend a hand. Likeable and fun loving, she was also known for her love of the game of BINGO.

Elsie was a member of the "Targets" dart team.

Elsie enjoyed playing darts. Just ask any of us that had the pleasure to play with or against her. 

The phrases "Nice Darts Nanna" and "Hard Lines Nanna" whenever heard, will bring back many fond memories.

Under the "N".........Nanna

Mr. William Malcolm (Mac) Kay

Born April 23/1945 to March 12/ 2003

Mac had a zest for life and it was demonstrated through his profession as a carpenter, his darts and most of all his family, Gloria, Bill and Christine.

He was a proud, kind hearted honest man who cherished his family and always took care of them.  It bought him joy encouraging Christine to throw the perfect dart.

Mac loved playing darts and was part of various dart activates such as;

• President one year on the Niagara Frontier Dart League.

• Executive on the Welland District Open Dart League as a statistician.

• Friday Night Men Dart League where his was the president for a few years.

Those who knew Mac remember the smile, humor and dedications he represented. 

Mac always just wanted to simply play darts and he stood behind playing a good game, having a few drinks and enjoying the atmosphere

Mr. James (Jimmy) Russell

Born:  December 15, 1939, Bonnybridge, Scotland

Passed Away: August 1st, 2003

Founder of the Welland & District Open Dart League in 1983.

Jimmy was a good husband and best friend to his dear wife Margaret.  He was a loving father to his two daughters Janice and Wendy.  Jimmy introduced Janice and Wendy to the game of darts, which as anyone who knew Jimmy, was his passion.

Jimmy was a great teacher of the game and always made himself available to anyone regarding the game of darts.  .

His life was his family and darts. Jimmy saw the good in everyone.  He was a very good natured person.  The only thing he ever argued over was darts.

Jimmy will  be remembered for unparalleled sportsmanship in assisting anyone in learning their finishes.  We learned that double one, is just another double, as Jimmy would throw his "marker" to split the "11" wire, then his "guide" to the "1" wire, and "Game" as his last dart landed in the double-one bed.

We are all better players and people today, and are honored to have known you.

Thank you Jimmy

He always greeted people with a hello or with a handshake and will always be remembered as a kind hearted person.
