Memorial Celebration for Robert Rafos
Dear Friends of Robert, My sisters and I are planning our Father's Memorial Celebration and are trying to get a feel for the number of people that will be coming from out of town. If you're planning on attending, and haven't already been in touch with one of us, can you send me an email or give me a phone call to let me know. Dad's Celebration will be held on Friday, April 27th at 4:00 p.m. at the Neighborhood Unitarian Universalist Congregation. The address there is 79 Hiawatha Rd, Toronto, Ontario. The celebration will be in true Robert fashion. In his words "I want this to be a tribute and thank you for all the people that have been in my life. If possible I would like to have a celebration of my completed life organized at our Neighborhood Congregation. Invite the Congregation, my neighbors, all my ICA friends, my extended Northwater Capital family, my brokers, men’s group and Sandra’s women friends. I would like it be catered, with good and ample food: like oysters, shrimp, sliders, canapes, cheeses, sliced beef, etc. Wine and beer, music, and jokes and stories over a life well lived and in appreciation for each other for helping me on my journey." If possible, please join us in celebrating our Father's beautiful life. We would love to see you and share in your stories. I apologize if you've received this in duplication...as I'm sending this out to both the OE and Dialogue lists. In love and kindness, Sharon on behalf of Kim, Robin and Sandra Sharon's Cell - 231-340-0634 srafos@gmail.com (Sharon) robrafosroy@gmail.com ksirrine@gmail.com
Thank you for the invitation to what will be a wonderful celebration of your father’s life. We are ICA colleagues living in Denver, Colorado, and as much as we would like, we will not be able to attend. Sending our heart-felt best wishes to you the whole Rafos family, in gratitude for Bob’s service and leadership.

Hi, folks, I have a comfortable double-bed-sized futon in a tiny little guest room, and would be happy to host one person or a couple who are coming from out of town for Bob’s memorial. I live in the same part of Toronto as the church where the celebration will be held, and it is easy to get there on public transit from my house. Take care, Jo

Dear Sharon, Thank you for this joyous invitation. It fits your father so well. I worked with him on a number of occasion in the 1980s. We did a trip together to several of our African houses. His ‘stabilising presence’ was an important counterbalance to my much less stable perspective. I live in London and am otherwise engaged in Friday April 27th. Although, I so wish I could move those meetings and just come and celebrate. I will be there in spirit.

Bob and I would like to be present and celebrate Robert's with you. We remember the celebrations in the Hong Kong House with you all and also the surprising events of living in the former maternity hospital. We value your contribution to our life in the Order.
