Guy Paul Ryan
January 9, 1936 - January 12, 2026

It is with great sadness the family of Guy Paul Ryan announces his passing on January 12, 2026, at Highgate Residence in Ancaster. He was the beloved husband of Judith (McBain), and cherished father of Trudy, Robin (Sue), Kathleen (Jeff) and Jeff (Kim).

Guy was the proud and loving grandfather of 8 grandchildren and 5 great grandchildren. He was the brother-in-law of Norman and the late Ian McBain. As a veteran of the RCAF Guy served his country with honour and integrity. After his military career he became an Assessor for the Hamilton Assessment Office. Guy was a dedicated volunteer with Caledonia Senior Support, a past Deputy Warden at St. Paul's Anglican Church, and a lifetime member of the Caledonia Men's Club. Guy was proud to be a lifetime member of the Caledonia Lions Club. Guy was the recipient of Caledonia Citizen of the year in 2005 and received the Caledonia Chamber of Commerce Lifetime Achievement Award in 2025.

A special thank-you to Bob Kemp Hospice, Highgate Residence and Guy's special angels for their care of Guy. Sincere appreciation goes to the many friends and neighbours for the countless meals and support shown to Guy and our family.

Guy will be fondly remembered by his friends and family as the "King Tuna" from his legendary fishing trips over the years. He will be remembered as the unofficial "Mayor of Duncan Court" by his many friends who were like family. His humour, kindness, and steady presence will echo in the stories shared for years to come.

Donations in his honour may be made to the Caledonia Lions Club for the Norfolk Haldimand Hospice Foundation.. Please indicate "Re: Guy Ryan NHHF". This is an initiative by the Caledonia Lions who are applying for a matching grant from Lions International.

On January 21, 2026, Andy Miedema, 73, of Caledonia, Ontario, passed away peacefully, surrounded by his loving family.

Born on March 9, 1952, in Hagersville, Ontario, to Jeff and Jean Miedema, Andy was a man of integrity, unwavering support, and a legendary work ethic that defined his life.

He was a strong, loving, God-fearing Christian man who lived his life with faith, integrity, and quiet strength. He loved deeply, served faithfully, and showed us what it meant to trust God through every season of life. He loved us with every fiber of his being and treasured every title he had, Husband, Father, Grandpa, Pake and Brother.

He married his beloved wife, Marilyn (nee DeGroot), in 1973 and together over 52 years, they built a home filled with love and laughter and family dinners.

He will also be greatly missed by his children, Teresa & Pete Wunsche, Shelly & Jeff Norrie, and Ken & Sarah Miedema; his grandkids and great-grandkids, Heather & Kris (Andrew & Travis), Erika & Jordan (Owen, Lincoln & Rosalie), Spencer & Kaite (Greta, Meredith & Samuel), Tyson & Jessa, Ashley, Emily, Maddison, and Jessica; his siblings Marty & Linda, Janet, Grace & Herb, and Tim. He was preceded in death by his parents, his grandson Tyler, and his younger brother Bert.

Andy wasn’t just someone we loved — he was someone we leaned on. His wisdom, prayers, and steady presence shaped our family more than words can express. While our hearts ache in his absence, we find comfort knowing that he is at peace, rejoicing in Heaven, and hearing the words, “Well done, good and faithful servant."

Friends are invited to call at YORK MARANATHA CHRISTIAN REFORMED CHURCH, 33 King Avenue, York on Tuesday, January 27, 2026 from 2-4 pm and 6-8 pm. Funeral service to take place at York Maranatha Christian Reformed Church on Wednesday, January 28, 2026 at 11 am. Donations in Andy’s memory may be made to Dr. Bob Kemp Hospice. Friends and family are invited to send condolences and sign the Book of Memories at www.millerfuneralchapel.ca

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Miklos (Nick) Bakai, who peacefully transitioned to his Heavenly Home on January 12, 2026, at the age of 70, surrounded by his family. Born on March 28, 1955, in Transylvania, Miklos touched the lives of many.

He will be lovingly remembered by his wife of 47 years, Ildiko Bakai; his children: Kristina (Ryan), Eva (Mpho) and Tim. Beloved grandfather of Caleb, Callie, Maliah, Naomi and Malcolm who brought him immense joy and pride.
Miklos is predeceased by his father Miklos and survived by his loving mother Katalin. Caring brother of Istvan (Olga), Sandor (Ilonka), Marton (Ildiko), Katalin (Istvan) and Barna (Timea). Cherished uncle of many nieces and nephews.

Miklos was a man of faith in Jesus, and he lived a life of integrity, kindness and generosity. He was a self taught musician who used to sneak into church at night just for a chance to play.
Miklos will be remembered for being a talented church organist, for his love of music, the beach and dedication to his family. His life was a gift and blessing to many, and he will be greatly missed, forever remembered, and forever loved.

The family will be holding a private burial and a Celebration of Life will take place at a later date.
We would like to thank everyone who has shown our family support and who shares in our sorrow.
