    J. H. Dance - A prominent, retired Ayr businessman

    John Hall (Jack) Dance of Telfer Place, Paris, passed away peacefully on Saturday, October 31st. He was in his 88th year. Born in Blenheim Township, he was a son of the late James Dance and Janet Hall. He lived all his life in the Ayr-Paris area. Mr. Dance originally farmed south of Ayr. In the mid1940's he and Jairus Maus established Ayr Feed and Supply on the main floor of Reid's Hall, Northumberland Street. Subsequently he took over the complete operation and as the business grew into a major supplier for area farmers, he was joined by his sons Don and Doug. In the early 1960's the mill was hit by two disastrous fires, but each time the facility was completely rebuilt. Mr. Dance never lost his love of farming. He and his sons founded Ayr Broiler Co., purchased the old Ayr rink on Stanley Street, converted it, and for years raised broiler chickens in it. Later modern new facilities were built outside town, the building torn down and the area now makes up part of the Kirkwood property. In later years he became actively involved in raising prize-winning Simmental cattle and was well-known in the Ontario Simmental Association. Mr. Dance was a constant booster of Ayr and many of the community's organizations and projects. He served at one time on Ayr council, active member of Knox United Church and church boards; 50 year member and past master of Ayr Masonic Lodge No. 172.

She lived her life serving others. In addition to her numerous professional accolades, she was involved with many charities and community organizations. Her friends will remember her most as a wonderful hostess. She perfected the art of making you feel welcome and important. Ruth was an incredible listener… this indeed will be missed! She was happiest surrounded by family, especially at her paradise up North. One of the most vivid memories of Ruth is of her watering her many gardens at the cottage. The gorgeous colours decorated the shores of Georgian Bay. Her commitment to her husband and children was paramount. She married her one true love, Nyle Diefenbacher (predeceased her in 2007) and joyfully celebrated 40 years of marriage. She is survived by her sons Darryl (Cheryl), Jeff (Jackie Sieber), Craig and daughter, Carol. Also, her brother-in-law Bob Kipp (the late Faye, her best friend and sister) and their children Lori, Lisa and Brad, and her brother Glenn (Anna) Dance. She will be sadly missed by many grandchildren, great- grandchildren, nieces and nephews. The family wishes to express their thanks to Osteopath Paul Psutka D.O.M.P. for explaining and making symptoms very tolerable during the 2 1/2 year reprieve from cancer. As well, heartfelt thanks to Dr. Stacy Hubay - Medical Oncologist - Lung Assessment at Grand River Cancer Centre, Dr. Robert Stevens - Medical Oncologist - Haematology at Grand River Cancer Centre, Dr. Donna Ward - friend and palliative care specialist. Ruth's family will receive relatives and friends on Thursday from 6-9 p.m. at the Henry Walser Funeral Home, 507 Frederick St., Kitchener 519-749-8467.
