    Documents
    Document - Letter from Jut McIver to Charlie
    Document - Letter from Jut McIver to Charlie
    Letter from Jut McIver to Charlie Tuplin, dated November 28, 1944. At the time, Jut was in the Royal Canadian Army Corp (RCAMC) and was stationed at the #20 Canadian General Hospital in Leavesden, England. The letter details some of what Jut was doing during the war, and mentions Joseph Charles McIver, who had been officially reported missing as of the 18th. There are references to his wife, Eunice McCarville, and their son, Paul McIver.

    Unfortunately, it appears that Charlie Tuplin never received the letter as he was taken prisoner on while fighting in the Netherlands, and died in captivity on December 8, 1944. He is buried in the Holten Canadian Cemetery in Holten, Netherlands. Charlie was from Indian River, PEI, and was serving with the Royal Highland Regiment (Black Watch) in France and the Netherlands. His name is inscribed on the Kensington War Memorial along with Joseph Ready.

    There is a Dutch private citizen in Holten, Netherlands who has been looking after Tuplin's grave and had just visited it on January 5th, 2021. The Dutch are dedicated to honouring the Canadians buried in the Netherlands for liberating them, they do a lot of work to keep honouring their memories and the sacrifice they gave for the Netherlands.

  • Notes 
    • OBITUARY:
      Paul Justin McIvor, a beloved husband, father, grandfather, brother, and friend, passed away peacefully on April 29th, 2024, at the age of 79. He will always be remembered for his love, laughter, and cherished memories. Paul was born in Summerside, Prince Edward Island. He loved spending time with his children and grandchildren, who brought him immense joy. Paul was a dedicated professional and worked in banking. Later in his career, he transitioned to real estate.

      Paul was a member of the Ashburn Golf Club for over 50 years, where he built lasting friendships and enjoyed countless rounds of golf. He had an unparalleled love for the game and found solace and camaraderie on the green. Paul enjoyed spending winters in Florida where he found serenity on the beach. Music was one of his deepest loves, especially 50s and 60s music. He found joy in the harmonies and melodies of the genre, and it brought him comfort and happiness throughout his life. He enjoyed driving and listening to music, finding peace and contentment on the open road with his favourite tunes playing.

      In his final days, Paul was surrounded by the love of his family, the compassionate care of the Palliative Care Team at Victoria General Hospital, and the support of his family doctor, Howard Conter. Their care, kindness and dedication provided comfort during a difficult time, and the family wishes to express their deepest gratitude. Paul is survived by his loving wife Tamara, his children Jason (Kellie) McIvor and Chara (Steve) Mural, and his two grandchildren, Annie and Peter. He is predeceased by his parents, Eunice and Justin McIvor, and his brother Elmer. He also leaves behind his brother Kevin McIvor.

      A celebration of Paul's life will be held at J.A. Snow’s Funeral Home on Thursday, May 9th from 2:00 – 4:00 pm., and donations can be made to the Canadian Cancer Society in lieu of flowers in his honour. Though Paul may no longer be with us, his spirit will live on in the hearts of those who knew and loved him. May he rest in peace, forever playing golf under sunny skies and enjoying the harmonies of his beloved oldies music.
