To the Baycroft clan:
It is with much sadness that it is only today I have learned of the passing of Gene more than one year ago. Gene served in WW II with the Governor General's Horse Guards Regiment and we know that he was one of the youngest Veterans because he lied abouty his age. I last saw Gene in November 2008 when he attended the Regiment's Memorial Dinner and was chosen to read the Honour Roll of Horse Guards who had fallen in battle. Photos from that dinner can be seen at https://flic.kr/s/aHsj44dm59 While I would phone him annually to see how well he was doing, I soon lost track of him and have now learned that he had moved to North Bay where he passed away.
On behalf of all the Members of the Governor General's Horse Guards Association, I offer our deepest condolences and yes, he is remembered for his service to Canada and to his Regiment.

Bill,Patti and Tom
The passing of your father and my dearest cousin Gene is heartrending to me and my wife Marilynne.
We visited Gene and Pat often on camping trips in the region and we were always kindly welcomed!
I have great memories as a young man, accompanying my Dad, Uncle Gordon, on our many fishing or hunting trips. Of course, Dad came with his bottle of booze to share with Gene on those occasions. This was a tradition that was repeated for many years!
We will miss Gene greatly! Unfortunately due to health issues, I will sadly not be able to attend your Dad's funeral.
Love
Bill and Marilynne Baycroft

Gene was my mother's cousin she always told stories about Gene and her other cousins. I believe I met Gene at my grandfather's 90th birthday celebration. I know they were great friends even best friends. I'm happy I got to see pictures and statuses of Gene enjoying his life with his daughter Patty and family.

You always said ... Find someone who loves you .. A gentleman ... For they are :
"A dying breed "
I'll never forget those words ... Especially now that the world has lost another true gentleman. Especially now that one of the very best are gone.

It's hard to lose a loved one, even harder when the person was a great man. A grandpa with a big heart. Take comfort in knowing one day you'll see each other again. All my love to you and your family Chantal.
