Thinking of you Darc, Paula, Doreen, Daniel and Diana, I remember fondly my time spent with Maurice, Paula and Darc one March Break in Fort Myers. We had a great time laughing and sharing stories. You all made me feel a part of your family. Maurice kindly gave me wise words of advice on gardening. We are so fortunate to have precious memories to give us strength and bring us peace. May God bless you all and keep you close at this time. With love and prayers, Cyndi

Darc: I know that your father and you were very close. It was one of the relationships that I envied as my own relationship with my father was not a good one. I also think of how your father helped me to find my Honda! He was a good man and a good human being. I am sorry - deeply sorry for your loss. Wendy

Paula, We are so sorry to hear that Maurice has passed. We were neighbours for so many years in Sarnia and loved to chat with you both. Maurice was always full of great stories of Belgium and then farming in Canada. His garden was kept so beautifully and still is today. Best wishes to you and your family.

Thanks Mr Danis for your large personality and the many good times and laughter shared with you and your family... I welcomed all your tips on how to make the grass greener and what trees to plant in the backyard and a myriad of other valuable pieces of information I learned from you....a very intelligent and feisty man you were and I will miss that sparkle in your steely blue eyes. I know the last few years were filled with a lot of pain for you and so now is your time to rest in peace and may God bless you and keep you and your family close forever!

Dear Paula and girls. My sympathy is with you. There are many changes since you have moved from Sarnia and Camlachie. I am living in an apartment in Petrolia. Apartments are not like having your own home but we must accept many changes as we grow older. I will be thinking of you as you go through the next few days.

Geert Gevaert and Family posted a condolence
Maurice Danis was my Uncle. As a teenager, just migrated over from Belgium, Maurice was nice enough to help me out with work on the Farm. Besides providing me with some spending money it also provided me with lots of great farming and farming equipment knowledge. For that alone I will forever appreciate him. Yes he was a stern, strong willend and fiesty task master, and an opinionated Uncle, but I know that he was a good man at heart and I am certain his presence will be missed. I know he was in a lot of pain the last couple of years so I am glad he now finally has eternal rest and peace. My sincerest condolences to Aunt Paula and cousins Darlene and Doreen; I hope the knowledge of his full life will sustain you through your grief; please do not hestitate to call on us if there is anything me or my family can do. With thoughts of support, prayer and courage; Geert/Gary, Gabriella, Jonathan, Jeffrey, Veronika, Tamas, David, Jozsef

Paula, Doreen, Darc and family, thinking of you all today, and sending peaceful thoughts and prayers your way. Darc, I will always remember your dad standing in the doorway (of the white farmhouse in Camlachie), giving us a few instructions, as we left for the evening. Maurice always had lots of great advice for us. He was a character, and will be greatly missed. Lovingly, Marsha, Randy, Nicole and Natalie

Thanks Darc, for sharing some of the stories of your dad with me from our days at St. Jo's. He always appeared larger than life... a strong & vital presence and very interested in all of his family. I enjoyed hearing about how he conquered the computer to write emails to you while travelling, and figured out how to make the transition from rural to urban life. Not an easy task, I would think.My thoughts & prayers are with you and all your family. Nancy
