We are so heartbroken and sad to read this news of your tremendous loss of your Dad, our beloved sweetheart, Dr. Powell. He was our first friend when we moved to Hagersville nearly 18 years ago, and we loved him as part of our family. He always enjoyed watching our kids grow up, and we loved our frequent visits and get togethers through the years. He will always remain very special in our hearts. We loved him so much. GodSpeed Dr. Powell, Heaven's special new Angel, We Love You !!! xo Velvette, Mark, Kennedy, Jackson & Victoria Magee xo

Dr. Powell delivered me into this world, and was our family doctor when I was a small child. God Bless him that he lived an amazing 102 years! He was a treasured member of the community and will never be forgotten.

I have always heard very kind words when people share their
connections with Dr. Powell. My condolences to all the family.
I would appreciate hearing from Gordon who shared many
Hagersville H.S. classes with me.
Thankyou.

To all the family, my thoughts and sympathy are with all of you.
I will never forget your father as being a kind, sweet & caring Dr. to
our whole family. HE always had time for his patients no matter what time of day or night
it was. Gordon & Douglas, we had many days together as school friends, church friends etc.
May you, Dr. Powell, REST IN Peace.

My condolences to all the family. I felt a special connection with Dr Powell, since he delivered me in the early afternoon of his own birthday - I'm sure he and his family had to postpone celebration plans of their own because of me.
I always think of him on "our" day, and, of course, of Mrs. Powell. RIP
Sincerely,
David Hewitt

I just found out about Uncle Cliff.I stayed at the house many times, when I was going to school in Fort Erie in 1971. Uncle Cliff was my favorite Uncle. I got along really well with the family except Crazy, criminal Irene. She was Bible thumping maniac. I'm 72 now and think of some of the wonderful people in our extended family
RIP
