I am so sorry for the Schupbach family’s loss of Danny. I know his dad, Rob from our hanggliding days. I did not know it was Danny until today, Sept 24th from the obituary although I found it strange it happened at Union St & Cumberland as I remembered it’s where Rob lives & wondered how he’s been doing. Again much condolences to Rob & his family. Sandy & Juliette Morrison
Danny was the best to work with at TNT paintball field. He made me feel very welcome as a newcomer to the staff and as a player there. I will miss his clever jokes and cheerful demeanor. He made me smile every time I saw him. He was a great friend to all those around. I am sure he is making smiles even now.
Dear Rob: This is Karen Foster in London, Ontario, contacting you to express my sadness and sympathy over the loss of your beloved son, Danny.
You may recall that my ex-husband, Ralph, and I worked for you at 666 Cook Street long ago, and my son, Shawn, died in an accident 7 weeks after he moved to Victoria. I know the agony you are feeling.
My friend, Elizabeth McLaughlin, formerly of 666 Cook Street, emailed me to advise me of this devastating event.
My thoughts are with you, your wife and your other two children at this difficult time in your lives. Also to your parents, Rob, who were so kind to ME at my time of distress – they enabled me to return (without Ralph) to Ontario, where I obtained a divorce, and have had a happier life since then.
I have always remembered that about your parents (maybe you were not aware of what they did.) I have never returned to Victoria – I would like to because Shawn’s ashes are in Goldstream Park but I am 80 years old now, and failing a bit. My other son and daughter live in Nova Scotia, so it is more likely that I would travel east rather than west for a visit.
Sincerely, Karen
We pray that you can find comfort in this dark time. A bright light was taken from this world far too soon. Though I can’t be there with you now you are in my thoughts and prays. Love you beyond words Aunt Jane and Uncle Rob Sally and Molly.
Jane, Rob, and family,
I wanted to let you know how heartbroken our family is at the loss of Danny. He was a truly special person, and touched the lives of everyone who knew him. I had the pleasure of watching him grow from a fun-loving and sometimes mischievous young boy at Doncaster school and on our neighbourhood walking school bus – into an interesting, multi-faceted, warm and kind young man. I have a very special memory of hearing him singing with Sol at our house, practicing for a performance at Reynolds in grade 12, and I have been taking solace in listening to the recording of that song this week. No one will miss him more than you do, but we are all thankful to have shared in a piece of his life and we are all diminished by his passing.
