Condolence: I was so sad to learn of both Rosie and Basil's passing last year. I only realised that they might not be with us anymore when I didn't receive a Xmas card. They were wonderful friends to my Mother (Margaret Vatcher) from childhood as Rosie and my Mother were neighbours growing up on the battery in the St John's harbour in the 1920-30s. I too have fond memories from our visits to Newfoundland - they were such a lovely couple and with such a large family! I am glad that they are now at peace and I am sure that as a family you will all miss them enormously. I feel that I have lost almost my last link to Newfoundland with their passing but my memory of them will be with me forever.

Condolence: To the Vokey Family: I offer my sincere condolences to you all on the passing of your parents during the Spring. They were my neighbours for several years at Clover Brae and I have only happy memories of two beautiful people whom I was privileged to know. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. May they rest in peace. I was lucky enough to know. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Condolence: Aunt Rosie and family. So sorry for you loss. It is so hard to see this generation disappearing. Thinking of you all at this most difficult of times. With Sympathy Daphne Baggs, Scott & Derrick Stone

Condolence:

Condolence: We are so sorry to hear about your Dad. He was a great Dad. I know your Mom will miss him.

Condolence: To Rosie and the entire Vokey family. We are sad to hear of Bas's passing. He certainly lived a good long life. During our few visits to their home, both at Cloverbrae Crescent and at Meadow Creek Retirement Home he shared some highlights with us, from his being the first Santa at Bowerings, some of his travels with Rosie, and his fly tying hobby. Clayton, like many others, was the recipient of some of his flies. He is also remembered for his faithful ministry to Elim's 50+ group for many years as well as to Friday Night Hymn Sings at Kelly's Brook Apartments and the once a month Sunday evening church service there. The residents there looked forward to these meetings and only eternity will reveal the positive outcomes. He recommended that Clayton take over 50+ after he felt to conclude his ministry which Clayton did for seventeen years. This ministry continues today and residents from Kelly's Brook continue to attend. We also remember his solos at Elim and his role playing in one of Elim's successful Christmas cantata's held at the Arts and Culture Center. Rosie fully supported him in these ministries. He has been missed and will continue to be missed and remembered by us. Love to you all and especially to Rosie.

Condolence: Dear Dave, Camille and Family, We are thinking of you during this very sad time. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Darryl and Annette Creaser

Condolence: To the Vokey Family: So sorry to read of Bas's passing. He and Rosie were great friends of my parents Ed and Dot Goff. Both our fathers worked at TCA and later Air Canada and there were many times that were together for parties. I can remember many visits to your home and the many times that they visited ours in Gander and St. John's. Be assured that Bas is in Heaven now showing everyone how to tie a fly and cast a line. He and Dad and Steve Moriarity, John Moriarity, Tom Godden and more old TCA persons are reminising about the early days of the airline.(I could name many more but space will not allow.) RIP Basil.

Condolence: On behalf of the Harris Family of Power Street, please know you are all in our thoughts at this time. The Vokey Family of Rocky Lane (now renamed Power Street - the upper part) have been connected with our family for such a long time. How well I remember the days when Mr. Vokey was running for City Council and our Mom was one of his great supporters and was out canvassing for him. She thought so highly of your Dad. For sure your lifetime of memories will be a great comfort to you all in the days ahead. God Bless you all at this difficult time.

Condolence: So sorry to hear of "Uncle Basil's" passing. It was truly my pleasure to have known him. He did a great job tying salmon and trout flies and I always enjoyed receiving a few, with the note, "tight lines". May you find comfort in the many memories from a long life, well lived. He will be missed, but remembered, with affection. God bless.
