Don was much loved as a gifted teacher of God's word and he vigorously sought the advancement of the Lord's work in and through the assembly. He leaves a large hole in the little assembly and is deeply missed. The funeral, was shared by his brothers-in-law Dr, John Thropay and Dr. Adam Thropay, Martin Baghramian, and David Singleton.

Toronto, ON - Leslie McIntyre, age 67, on May 26. Saved in N. Ireland at the age of 15, our brother came to Canada in 1957 and soon after was baptized and received into fellowship in the Highfield Road assembly. Leslie was a quiet, godly, consistent, and faithful brother and a respected elder. On Lord's Day he took part in worship and following the gospel meeting baptized two young sisters. After leaving the baptistery he collapsed as the company was still singing "Happy Day," and in a short time went to be with his Lord. He will be greatly missed by his wife Florence, three sons, two daughters-in-law, a little granddaughter, and eight brothers and sisters in N. Ireland. Please pray for the family and the assembly, still in shock by his sudden home call. The services at the very large funeral were shared by Harold Paisley, brother McIntyre's three sons, and his brother from N. Ireland.
