No words can express how sorry we are for the loss of a wonderful person like Elihu. Our deepest condolences to the family. 

Elihu was my mentor and our friend. He took me and Calin under his protective wing and inspired us with his wisdom. We will never forget his guidance through the toughest moments of our lives.

May you rest in peace our dear friend!

I met Elihu in 1974 at East Toronto SDA church.  He and his siblings were part of the Pathfinder Club.  We had so much fun camping and telling scary movies around the campfire.  He will truly be missed.  Rest in Paradise!!! Until we meet on the other side.

Much love ❤️ to his family! 

My condolences to Elihu's family.  I am so saddened to hear of his passing.  I first met Elihu many years ago at the Wellesley when I didn't know any better.  The look he gave me when I asked a silly question of a prickly staff...  Elihu, you gave the best hugs and always made a tough day better.  You will be missed.
My deepest condolences to the Henry family and the Williams family. 
I had the privilege of working with Elihu for many years at Sunnybrook Hospital. He was a man of character and integrity who excelled in his work, as well as in his life. His calm, gentle but firm demeanor was greatly appreciated by all with whom he worked. I am deeply saddened by this loss. Myrna, may you know comfort at this time. To his children and their spouses, and to his grandchildren, I express my deepest condolences. God be with you.

Elihu was such a wonderful human - in every way. From the day I met him , I made him my role model. Every day, he was positive and professional.  His exceptional people skills  made him a respected leader. Even in the most challenging situations, he remained grounded and kept the care for the patient front and centre. He was bright , witty, and had a grin that made everything, everyone feel better.  Such a loss. I am very sad. 

I am grateful for having known and learnt so much from him.

My deepest sympathies to the family. He was so proud of all of you!

My Deepest Condolences to Myrna & the rest of the Family.  I remember Meeting Elihu, my cousin  when I arrived in Canada. He was such a very Humble person who offered many inspiring & encouraging words to me.  You will be missed but your Memories will forever reign in my Family's Heart.  We look forward to see you  in the Sunrise ! 😢😢🙏🙏
Our deepest sympathies to the Henry family and extended family and friends.  Mr. Henry was a lovely and gracious man, we feel very fortunate to have met him. May peace and love fill the next weeks and months for the Henry family. We are thinking of you. 
Our condolences to the Henry Family.  Elihu will be greatly missed in our Neighbourhood.   Such a wonderful man taken too early.  Many fond memories will live on.

To the Henry's family: 

May the God of Peace bring comfort to your hearts as you mourn the loss of your dear one. Keep in mind the Great Resurrection Morning, when you will reunite with your loved one, never to part again. Until then, may God wrap you in His Loving Arms and soothe your sorrow. Christ's Blessings be on you all.

I can't remember exactly when I met Mr. Henry, but when I was interested in pursuing a career as an anesthesia assistant he very kindly agreed to speak with me and provide insight into the role and his experiences at Sunnybrook. He was not only informative but also very pleasant to talk to. I only had one interaction with him, but he came across as a  very kind, thoughtful person and I was sad to hear of his passing.

Bryan and I were so sorry to hear of Elihu's passing. I was lucky to have seen Myrna and Elihu in June - I had had such a special day with both talking about everything under the sun. Both shared about their gratitude for what life had given them - without being pollyannish about it all. I was deeply touched by their view of the world, and the humility that went along with this. 

We got to know Elihu in 1996 when Myrna's parents included us into the family on our arrival in Canada from South Africa.  Like Ruth and Sam, Myrna and Elihu also gave us a sense of home and have been consistently supportive. They have simply been great friends since then. Elihu would always welcome us with big hugs, exceptional warmth and ferocious generosity. It is this physical and emotional embrace that we will so miss. 

I can't think of Elihu as just Elihu. It was always Elihu and Myrna, Elihu and the kids ..... And so, we know that there will be a huge Elihu hole in the lives of those that loved, respected and adored him. May the memories of Elihu offer sustenance and comfort.

My condolences to Elihu's family. I first met Elihu when he was a RT student in is clinical year at St. Michaels Hospital). I had graduated the year before and he would often often claim that I was older than him which was not the case. This was a running joke that I heard at least once every time we spoke! All my interactions: working together (St. Mikes) and when I moved into sales, a customer (Wellesley and Sunnybrook) were always positive. It was clear that loved his family dearly and we often talked of shared events/benchmarks that we had in common with children who close in age. My heart goes out to Myrna and her family , and I wish everyone nothing but comfort and strength.

My condolences to Elihu's family.   There is so little one can say to assuage the grief you must endure for so grievous a loss.  When I heard this most unhappy news, I spent some time recollecting my interactions with Elihu and I was struck with the realization (now that he is gone) of the rather profound feeling I always had when I was in his presence, that the world was in fact a good place to be and a better place than it had been when he wasn't around.  This was the remarkable effect of his incredible character: he simply had to arrive, and even the most desperate situations would suddenly seem, truly, less hopeless.  And I have to say, now that he is gone from us, I am left with the sad conclusion that the world is permanently worse.   

It was a great pleasure working with Ilihu. A great, gentle, helpful and always positive man. My condolences to the family.

We will miss you 

Rest in peace 

I'm so sorry to hear about the passing of Elihu. He was always so welcoming and accepting.  My deepest sympathies, I'll remember him fondly
Firstly, our hearts go out to Elihu's family and loved ones - our deepest condolences. We will have you in our thoughts and prayers ahead. We were both so privileged to have been colleagues of Elihu at work. Starting with his trademark smile, Elihu instantly reminded us every day at work what it meant to be a great teammate - be positive with each other, see the best in each other, and just make each other better. We will miss him so much, but we will never forget what he taught us, and we will always have him in our hearts as our inspiration to be a better person, as he was - one of the best humans we ever got the chance and privilege to know.
I am so saddened to hear about Elihu.  My sincere condolences to you Myrna and the whole family.   Elihu will be deeply missed.  Sending hugs and love ❤️ 
So sorry to hear of Elihu's passing. He was a supportive, generous and caring teacher and colleague. My thoughts are with his family and friends at this sad time.
