Dear Wilner Family, Jo and I would like to extend our deepest and most heartfelt condolences on the passing of dear Asher. Over the past years our contact, while not frequent, was indeed meaningful and centred around the celebration of Pesach. It was during Pesach that the clan united - brothers and sisters, children and cousins and of course friends - to welcome in the spring, to ponder the value of freedom and to teach our children. Over time, these get togethers became less frequent but the memories remained strong. And so now Asher, as we come together yet again at the time of Pesach, we rekindle fond feelings; we send solid offerings of support to your family and celebrate the memories that endure.

The news of Dr Asher Wilner’s passing has profoundly saddened me . May I share a memory with his wife , boys and grandchildren which is close to my heart and one I will cherish forever . It was 2005 , my Mom Millie Lutter had passed away unexpectedly in 2004 and my Dad Lewis Lutter, was considering rather high risk Aortic valve replacement surgery. There was divergent opinions about it in our family .Dr Nadia Giannetti , my Dads cardiologist and I commissioned a consult from Dr Wilner as to my Dads thinking and clarity of mind to make the decision Dr Wilner and my Dad spent an hour together in the RVH heart failure clinic . I listened to part of it .standing outside the door . As a social worker & psychotherapist I was blown away by Dr Wilner’s gifted interaction with my Dad…. as my Dad's daughter I was filled with gratitude . At the end of the meeting. Dr Wilner’s concluding words to me “ I can only wish that at age 90 I would have the clarity of mind and speech that your Dad has . Hearing now that your husband and Dad suffered from dementia and at a far younger age breaks my heart . He deserved so much more . Wishing his family strength & comfort in their memories as they grieve the loss of a of a wonderful man . Arlene Lutter

Dear Wilner family, I am writing on behalf of my sisters, Ruth and Jane, and me, expressing our deepest condolences on the loss of your beloved husband, father, grandfather, brother, brother-in-law and uncle. We lived two doors down from the Wilners. Our families were close. With four boys, their household was active to say the least. But at dusk you could see Saul Wilner watering his garden, a quiet refuge after a busy day. Over the years, we would host the Wilner family at our country home where Saul and his boys would sit for hours fishing in the middle of the lake. The last time I saw Asher and Deborah was at Tilli's Shiva where I also saw Eric and Claire-Jehanne and Sheldon and Lillian. We are very sad for your loss. May you find comfort in your shared memories and may you be spared further sorrow. Kind regards, Susan
