I served on Session with Elsworth for several years. He was very supportive, and a dear friend. When Elsworth read scripture we could understand and hear every word which was a true blessing. My sincere sympathy to the family. - Posted by: Betty Beckinsale (St. Andrews Presbyterian Church) on: Feb 22, 2016

Mr. Poliah was my grade 5 teacher at General Vanier. He was a gentle soul who clearly loved what he did for a living. I will always remember the dreamy look in his eyes when he spoke of his homeland in Trinidad. And he had a wonderful sense of humour and loved telling us of his childhood and bringing 'roti-pans' to school for lunch. Such a lovely man. I think of him often, and I am truly sorry for your loss. - Posted by: Shannon Peppard (former student) on: Feb 14, 2016

Remembering my big brother from childhood as one who was very loving and caring. He taught me good values for life, introduced us to good music and books, good humor and above all, strong love and communication with each other. Our love for you will never die and we will always cherish the great family times together. May you rest in peace. Love Merle and family - Posted by: Merle (Poliah) Bassant, Damien Bassant, Tammy Bassant (Sister, Nephew, Niece (respectively)) on: Feb 12, 2016
