Condolence: Fran and Family. I am very late in hearing about Jim's death. It brings back many memories of our great times at OAC. Jim always brought humorous observations to our discussions.Because Nancy died in October, 2015 I am sincerely empathetic to what you are going through and will be thinking of you.

Condolence From: Saugeen District Secondary School Staff
Condolence: The entire staff of Saugeen District Secondary School would like to extend our condolences to the Darlington family on the passing of Robert. Robert and Fran, through their children and grandchildren, have had a profound influence on our school and community. Nancie Darlington-Smith and her husband, Tim Smith, are long serving teachers here. Nancie is very active in the school and the community. Tim has been a coach and leader in school sports. Kevin Darlington is the Head of the English department and is an active coach.

Robert and Fran's grandchildren -- Jacob, Emily, and Kyra -- are recent graduates. They were leaders and achievers while attending. Grandson Cameron will be here next year.

Although most of us have never met Robert, we know of his character and commitment, as displayed by his children and grandchildren.

So to Kevin, Sarah, Jacob and Emily, and Nancie, Tim, Kyra and Cameron, we mourn your loss, but celebrate the life of Robert.

"I have no greater joy than to hear that my children are walking in the truth."

Condolence From: Maurice J.A. Francis
Condolence: Jim is remembered as a good friend and colleague from OAC '62. Extra curricular activities included the Rotten Tomato fight with those dreaded Sophs early one September morning in the Dairy bush. That event brought our year together as a caring and fun loving group. Jim was a member of COTC as was I . Jim invented a nick name for me. "MJAF" which didn't take but it was interesting try. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Fran and Jim's family for a life well lived. Rest in peace good friend.
