My sincere condolences to the Heiber Family. I met Earl only a number of times, but in those few times it quickly became clear that he was a very kind, caring, gentle and generous person. My memory of him is always having a smile and an upbeat outlook. May the memory of Earl always bring you comfort.
Nino Robles January 25, 2026 12:43 PM
My condolences to Earl’s family, friends, colleagues, loved ones. I am so sorry to hear of Earl’s passing. I know Earl from his Ryerson days at the recreation centre. Earl also helped me with a few lawyer things. Such a nice, caring, wonderful man. You will be missed Earl.

I am writing to express my deepest condolences on the passing of Earl. I was a friend of his from the spin classes at Ryerson University, now TMU, and I want you to know what a gem he was to all of us. Earl was the heart of spin class! We all knew that the bike in the middle-back was his spot, but it was his spirit that truly filled the room. His discipline was legendary -we were all in awe of his twice-a-day workouts-but it was his kindness that we loved most. From the Tootsie Pops he handed out to the annual anniversary cakes he brought (even when he wasn''t well enough to ride), he turned a gym class into a family. I personally feel so lucky to have known him. Whether I was visiting him at his office to bring well-wishes from the spin crew or more recently receiving his generous legal advice regarding our home, he was always smiling and ready to help. He was a man of immense integrity and warmth, and he will be remembered with love and admiration.

We had the opportunity to meet with Earl many years ago. As life changed and we went different ways, I found myself often thinking of Earl. Finally about 6 years ago, I once again reached to Earl for some assistance and guidance. Always there to listen, Earl offered me tremendous support and comfort. Woking in Real Estate, Earl and Fatime, were always there to answer my questions and guide me. I am going to miss you Earl, rest in peace, how blessed was I to know you.
Lisa Kennedy January 25, 2026 12:04 PM
My deepest sympathies to the family and close friends of Earl, who I knew professionally. He was one of the nicest lawyers I knew in my career. Blessings upon you all.

When I first met Earl more than 24 years ago, I was immediately struck by his friendly, personable manner. He was approachable, warm, empathetic, and wise — a true gentleman. I referred clients to him with complete confidence and later had the good fortune of working more closely with him after his offices moved to our firm’s building on Church Street. We regularly referred files to one another and worked together on behalf of shared clients, and I always valued his insight, generosity, and sense of humour. I admired and respected Earl deeply — as a colleague, a mentor, and a friend. During a period when I was suffering from debilitating nerve pain, I confided in Earl. He generously shared his own similar experience and offered guidance that truly changed my life. Thanks to his advice, I was able to avoid surgery and discontinue nerve pain medication. I will always be grateful to him for that kindness. I will miss Earl profoundly, though I know my sense of loss pales in comparison to what his beloved family and his devoted staff — who were like family to him — are experiencing. My deepest condolences go out to all of them. My thoughts are with them during this very difficult time.

Earl was the first person I saw every morning when I used to open the RAC. He’d be there usually waiting for me when I arrived…even when I was early…he was ever the gym enthusiast! We quickly became buddies and I looked forward every day to see him for our quick morning chat. After I left the RAC I’d continue to see him at our regular spin classes. He was such a fantastic person, kind and easy to chat with. He will be missed. My sympathies to your family.
Stephen Brunswick January 25, 2026 09:21 AM
Earl was the consummate mensch!!!!
Andrew Lee January 25, 2026 09:10 AM
Please extend my heartfelt condolences to Earl’s family. Earl was my sole lawyer since graduating from dental school. He was a fatherly mentor, generously sharing his wisdom on both business and personal matters. I always enjoyed his dry sense of humour, his deep commitment to his work and family, and his fitness ethic on his spinning bike. He will be missed. Andy
David Rosenthal January 25, 2026 07:59 AM
My sincere condolences to the Heiber family. Earl was a truly a pleasure to deal with on the legal transactions we had together over many years. He will be sorely missed.
Jeffery Wilson January 25, 2026 03:44 AM
Hello Shirlanne, Sari, Rachael & Erin Earl and I were in the same law school class, he with his Talmud-Torah like vintage briefcase, sitting in the middle of the lecture hall, and I, with a messy knapsack in the seat of the upper row closest to the exit door. When doing the business of the law, later on in life, the two of us would reliably speak over the phone at 5ish in the morning because we were both at work already, and then, a little later on in life, we met up for liquid lunches and laugh a fair bit as we canvassed the state of our turbulent guts, both ignoring how serious we took the practice of law and its somatic effect on our bodies. Sometimes we laughed so hard, our eyes were full of tears. What a gift for me to have met up with him, such good fortune!
Annikki January 25, 2026 12:20 AM
I’m honoured to have met Earl, an incredibly patient person who took the time to teach and explain. Earl was instrumental to changes that impacted our life. Condolences to the family, Annikki & Dan
David Chong Yen January 24, 2026 09:59 PM
My condolences on Earl''s passing. Earl was a wonderful human being, whose humility, knowledge and calm, level headed approach made a significant positive impact in many of his clients'' lives.
Dayna Simon January 24, 2026 09:43 PM
Sending sincere condolences to Earl’s family. We had many cases together over the last 25 years and even though we were opposing counsel he was unfailingly so kind and collegial. He always showed up to hearings with a twinkle in his eye, a fist full of tootsie pops and a story to share. It didn’t take long to consider him a friend. He spoke of his family with such love and pride. I’m sure your loss is immeasurable. He will be missed and fondly remembered.
Angel Narick January 24, 2026 07:45 PM
My deepest condolences to the Heiber family at this time. It has been one of the joys in my life to have known Earl. He was our RAC gym buddy since the early 90’s. I got to watch his transformation from the guy who got woozy from riding a stationary bike, to the legendary spin fanatic he became by attending pretty much every spin class they offered! Earl was a one of a kind character, who made friends everywhere he went. He became more than a gym buddy over time; he became a confidante and great advisor over the years. I will treasure his memory and be forever grateful to have known him.
Rhonda and Steve Cartoon and Manny Snyder January 24, 2026 07:41 PM
To Earl’s family, friends and staff Earl was one of a kind!!! A true mensch!!! We had the pleasure of working with him on several occasions. Earls caring and kindness was evident in every interaction we had with him. He will be dearly missed. Our deepest condolences.
Jeff McRae January 24, 2026 05:35 PM
What a sad loss for all of us but especially for Shirlanne and their daughters. Earl was such a great person to be with. Always so full of life and always looking to help in a common sense and practical way. I remember two thing smost about my hundreds of calls with him over the years: first, is that each had a element of humour and second, he asked about my family and wanting to keep abreast of what was happening. He will be so missed. Jeff
Emilie Epstein January 24, 2026 05:27 PM
Dear Family of Earl Heiber, It has been years since I connected with Erin, but indeed we know that Earl was on my family tree. When his grandfather (Max or Mechal) came to America, there was a time that he lived with my grandfather. His name, Selig Heiber, also from Narajow. I believe they were cousins. I am so very sorry to learn that Earl has passed away. I was hoping that one day I could get to Canada and meet family. My heart breaks for all of you. I send you my sympathy. May his memory be of a blessing.
Lev Louie and Marina German January 24, 2026 04:54 PM
Dear Heiber Family, we are sending our deepest condolences to all of you. Thinking of you at this difficult time. May you find comfort with your family and friends and reflect on cherished memories of Earl that will forever be in your hearts.
Richard Gorman January 24, 2026 04:21 PM
I have known Earl most of my life after meeting him 73 yrs ago as the 8yr old tag-along of my older brother Howard, his friend in a close knit group of buddies that did stuff together on the weekends. Then as after he seemed like one of the most accepting and congenial “ big boys” I had known , and I liked him ever since, as I would encounter him at various times in my years at high school and University and summer camp counselling in our 20’s. After my graduation and later residency away, then back , he became my family lawyer to the present time . Since then he has been a source of knowledge , guidance and good practice, advice in professional and some personal affairs , and with my wife Judy, which we have valued greatly over time. We have socialized with him and Shirl-Ann , and knew we TKTCwould be welcome in their company whenever called . He will be deeply missed. Judy and I give Shirl-Ann and their children heartfelt sympathies at this difficult time in losing such a fine person as was Earl.
Robert Beelin January 24, 2026 04:08 PM
As a young dentist I was introduced to Earl by a colleague, and very quickly he assisted me through some difficult challenges. He was thoughtful, sensitive and caring and made helped me immeasurably. Over time we became friends and and his passing is a heavy loss to all who knew him. My deepest condolences to Shirlanne, Sari, Rachel and Erin.
Giuseppe and Rosemary Sportelli January 24, 2026 03:50 PM
Our heartfelt condolences to the Heiber Family we will always remember Earl''s smile and gentle soul. May he rest in peace. Love Pino and Rosemary.
Robert Bob Colson January 24, 2026 01:38 PM
Earl and I first met at Osgoode Hall Law School in 1974. Earl was ahead of me by a year and we me because we were both members of the Osgoode Faculty Counsel. Unbeknownst to either of us at the time was the fact that we would be bound together from then on. Earl preceeded me as an articling student at Shiff, Gross, and I vividly recall being told on the first day of my articles that I would be responsible for taking over 50 of Earl’s workload. I quickly learned that half of what Earl had been doing was way more than a full-time job for anyone. He was gracious enough to take my calls and provide me with guidance and assistance throughout my articling term and while he was attending the Bar Admission Course. After articling and through a series of coincidences Earl shared space with Martin Teplitsky, and I was Marty’s first associate. From then on Earl and I were colleagues, we referred clients to one another, we talked about our families and celebrated birthdays together, shared ideas that would benefit our mutual clients, and called on each other’s expertise in our unique areas of practice almost daily for years. We spoke several times a week and became close friends in both our personal and working relationships. When either of us needed help with a legal issue, whether for ourselves or for one of our clients, we were always there for each other. If you ever needed to speak with Earl, you could call or meet with him at the office, so long as it was after 3:00 A.M. If it was really important, Earl would come in a little early! His typical workday was 3 a.m. until 5 p.m. (with a break around 5 a.m. so that he could go to and ultimately teach a spinning class at what was then Ryerson, a short walk away from our offices on Bond Street but he was always back and at his desk within an hour), and he maintained that rigorous schedule even after he became ill. His clients were fortunate to have him as their lawyer, and he built a thriving practice through referrals that he received from his existing and ever-growing client base. There is no greater compliment that a client can offer to his lawyer than to refer other clients who have a need for legal advice, and the good work and the relationships that he formed with his clients were a tribute to Earl as both a lawyer and a caring human being. Earl had a great sense of humour and he always had too many jokes to remember and shared those generously as well. Above all else, Earl loved his family: Shirlanne, Sari, Erin and Rachel, and whatever sacrifices he made were made with them in mind. The picture of him below says it all. To my friend and colleague, a sad goodbye. I only hope you know how much you meant to how many, and especially to Shirlanne and “the girls”. We will all miss you forever. You have left all of us with something that has made us better persons in one way or another. Goodbye our friend, with love.
Irwin Fefergrad January 24, 2026 10:30 AM
My deepest condolences to the Heiber Family during this sad time of loss and grief. I had the honour and privilege of knowing Earl for almost 50 years. His legacies are many - his kindness, his gentleness, his caring, his wisdom, his goodness. He will be missed. Warmly and sincerely Irwin
Nancy Shapiro January 24, 2026 09:24 AM
Dear Heiber Family, I was another of the 70 Bond Street crew and knew Earl to be a kind man and wonderful lawyer. While we had not worked in the same physical building for over 25 years we had kept in touch and I was moved by the strength he had in dealing with his diagnosis. It was the same strength he had brought to his law practice. He will be deeply missed by many, myself included. My heart goes out to his family - my deepest condolences.
Michaele-Sue Goldblatt January 23, 2026 08:47 PM
Dear Shirlanne, I know mine is a voice from the past....so very many years ago. I always liked and admired Earl. You and he and I lived through many challenges years ago. I know he adored you and your children. My sad condolences to all of you. What a great photo of him. May his memory be a blessing to you and to all who loved him.0
Michael Tsujimoto January 23, 2026 08:16 PM
Please accept our deepest condolences to the Heiber family. We were saddened to hear of Earl''s passing. Although we only met each other for a short period of time, it feels like we had known each other for much longer. It was a blessing to have met Earl during my recovery as he was always smiling and happy. We had many great chats which helped brighten my day. I will always cherish the time we had together. May God provide the needed peace and comfort. Take care, Mike and Cathy Tsujimoto
Sheila Roth January 23, 2026 05:56 PM
Earl was real mensch. I will always remember the warmth and meaningful discussions I had with him each time we would meet He was caring and thoughtful and will be Missed
Richard Ehrlich and Barb Campbell January 23, 2026 05:04 PM
I am so sorry to hear of Earl’s passing. He always gave me wise and ethical advice both when I was starting my practice, and when I was selling it nearly 30 years later. In particular, in a case where I could have taken legal action successfully he wisely counselled me that in his experience clients were happier if they focused on building a good future rather than trying to right past wrongs. This proved to be excellent advice for other things in life. A true mensch, he will be missed. May his memory be a blessing.
Michael and Deanna Rosenswig January 23, 2026 04:18 PM
Shirlanne,Sari,Rachel and Erin, We are so sorry for your loss of Earl. I first met Earl in early 1980 , when we both started our practices. We had adjacent offices and we were both renting from Marty Teplitsky .Over the years we referred various clients to each other…because the clients received the best advice from an attentive person on a timely basis. Earl had a number of attributes which made him a top notch lawyer. He was very well versed in the law …and had great business sense.He also had a very high EQ and understood the complexity of people, always with a sense of humour. Over the years we became very close friends .Earl was a very caring person . I will miss him
The Lima-Simao Family January 23, 2026 02:30 PM

Garth Low January 23, 2026 11:43 AM
My condolences to the Heiber family, and to Sari in particular, as I got to know Sari as well as Earl at 70 Bond Street. Earl was a blessing. He was a very good lawyer and served his clients well (he was mine). More importantly, Earl was a real gentleman - ever gracious and kind - and an admired and cherished colleague. His office door was always open; Earl always made time for me. And who can forget his candy machine? How generous of him to share his love for M&Ms with us all. My kids, when they were little and would visit the office, always headed straight to Earl''s office! Thank you Earl.
Voula Stevens January 23, 2026 10:38 AM
My deepest condolences to the family. I had a great pleasure meeting Earl at Metro where I worked. He was a great friend to me we talked about everything. I would ask about his wife and daughters, and his face would light up, and he would ask about my husband and son. Earl was a very special person and was loved by everyone at Metro. I will miss you, my friend. Rest in peace Voula Stevens
Daniel Owen January 23, 2026 09:59 AM
I met Earl through our mutual friend Dennis Beallor, and our relationship was essentially one of business, where Earl’s contributions were impeccable, and imaginative. Please accept my condolences at your loss of a very fine, principled man; I enjoyed every minute I spent with him.
Bill Henderson January 23, 2026 09:02 AM
I have worked with Earl many times over the past 20 years on dental practice transitions. He always set a great example for all of us in the industry - client focussed, caring and just a true gentleman. I will miss him. My condolences to all who knew him well.
Shaila Callaghan January 23, 2026 08:32 AM
I am so sorry for your loss, Shirlanne, Sari, Rachel and Erin. I am sending you the biggest hug. I will always remember Earl and you, Shirlanne, being second parents to us more than neighbors. Earl heading out in the insane early hours of the morning to bring back the best fruits from the market, never having to worry about needing Ketchup, and when Rocky (our dog) peed on Earl''s briefcase...!! I will remember him fondly, both personally and professionally. I love you all so much and am sending you love. May his memory be a blessing for you. XO.
Dorit and Robert Yufe January 23, 2026 02:39 AM

Stephen Gould January 22, 2026 11:39 PM
I first met Earl at Forest Hill Collegiate in Grade 10. We immediately became fast friends. He had quite a record collection and we spent many hours listening to music in his basement. We partied together with neighborhood friends. We camped in Algonquin Park and worked together as camp counselors in Milford, PA. He visited me in as a music student in Boston and piloted a piper club plane to my rural home in Massachusetts. Each time I returned to Toronto we met for lunch. We laughed and reminisced about old times. I will always remember his gleeful giggle and the mischievous twinkle in his eye. He was upbeat and optimistic in the face of his deteriorating health. He was such an admirable fighter. We talked and laughed as recently as a month ago. He was still in good spirits. His legacy is that he was a very helpful, generous, kind and compassionate man. A real mensch with a sense of humor. I will miss my oldest friend. Peace to Earl and condolences to the family he loved so dearly.
Amy Ocenar January 22, 2026 10:08 PM
My sincerest condolences to Earl’s family. I will treasure all the nearly 30 years I have worked for Earl. I will miss our daily talk about our children and families. Earl is like a big brother and was always there with me with a helping hand. His influence in my life, his kindness and generosity will always be remembered. I will miss you Earl.
Jim wortzman January 22, 2026 10:03 PM
I had the pleasure of meeting Earl about 42 years ago when we were practising law at the same firm. Our relationship began as a professional one and developed into a personal one. Earl was a unique lawyer. He was one of the last of his kind, a jack of all trades. He could skilfully assist, act and advise in a myriad of legal issues. He was valued by his clients and I was one of them. He was also unique as a lawyer because he did what he did with a refreshing degree of common sense, without pretension and always with a smile. A smile together with his blue jeans and his white Oxford shirts were his uniform. He was absolutely “one of the good ones“ I will miss you, my friend. My sincere condolences to Shirlanne, , Sari, Rachel and Erin. It is said that a person doesn’t truly die until the memory of them does. In this regard, Earl will live for a very long time and deservedly so.
Michael Roseman January 22, 2026 09:00 PM
I was sorry to hear about Earl''s passing. I haven''t seen him much in recent years but I always enjoyed the times I dealt with him, he was a good and honest man and he will be missed. Michael and Christina Roseman

Earl was a wonderful man. We worked many Saturdays together at Teplitsky, Colson and I enjoyed seeing what he bought at the St. Lawrence Market that morning. I admired his dedication to fitness. He was a kind man and spoke lovingly about his family. He will be missed.
Natasha Ramnath January 22, 2026 07:24 PM
My most sincere condolences to the Heiber family. Earl was my friend, mentor and someone for whom I had the greatest respect. I treasured our weekend bike rides and will always be grateful for the sage advice he imparted. I will deeply miss his presence and will always cherish the memories of our friendship. Rest in peace, Mr. H.
Aaron Crangle January 22, 2026 07:10 PM
My condolences to the Heiber family. Earl and I both had offices at Teplitsky Colson. His office door was always open to me. I can still picture him sitting back in his chair with his eyes closed while talking on the phone to clients. We shared many laughs together. I admired his intelligence, work ethic, humour, and unsurpassed passion for spinning three times a day. He was a one of a kind and I will miss him.
Ella & Marshall Cohen January 22, 2026 07:06 PM
Our heartfelt condolences to the Heiber family. Earl and our family go way back, and I feel so blessed to have known him. Earl was sharp as a tack, but even more than that, he was kind, present, and deeply human. He always made time and had a way of making you feel truly seen and cared for, as though nothing else mattered in that moment. He was a gitteh neshumah, a good soul in every sense of the word. His warmth and integrity will stay with me always. May his memory be for a blessing.
Jaret Moldaver January 22, 2026 06:01 PM
My sincere condolences to the family. Earl was so generous to me with his time, his wisdom and his friendship. Earl’s intelligence was only matched by his kindness. The civility that he showed in his practice and in life should be remembered and followed. May he rest in peace.
Wanda Frechette January 22, 2026 05:49 PM
I am so saddened to hear of Earl''s passing. He was one of the nicest persons I have ever met and had the privilege to work for. He treated everyone with respect and he was greatly respected in return. He will be remembered by many.
Matthew Taub January 22, 2026 03:25 PM
To all of the Heibers. I am so saddened to hear of the loss of Earl. Growing up next door, I have the fondest memories of Earl. Of all of you. He is spoken of often in our house when I talk with my kids about the old days. Earl was one of a kind. In every way. May his memory be a blessing to all of you.
Nancy Coldham January 22, 2026 03:23 PM
I loved Earl like a brother. My Father, Bruce, loved Earl like a brother. Their bond is celebrated annually with Bruce''s Kosher Christmas cake. Both men were remarkable for their kind, caring natures and their love of family above all else. I dedicate this poem by Leonard Cohen to Earl. Earl Stanley Heiber, your life was a blessing. Condolences to Shirlanne and the girls. THERE ARE SOME MEN There are some men who should have mountains to bear their names to time. Grave markers are not high enough or green, and sons go far away to lose the fist their father’s hand will always seem. I had a friend: he lived and died in mighty silence and with dignity, left no book son or lover to mourn. Nor is this a mourning-song but only a naming of this mountain on which I walk, fragrant, dark and softly white under the pale of mist. I name this mountain after him.
Dr David Sandler January 22, 2026 03:12 PM
To the entire Heiber family My sincere condolences on Earls passing . As a professional with the late Marty Teplitsky he was a gem in times of need and those will never be forgotten but etched in stone for years to come A brilliant legal mind a friend let him rest in peace David Sc
David Altshuller January 22, 2026 02:53 PM
Earl was a valued mentor and friend from the first day we met in 2004. He was gracious with his time whenever I had a question or problem. I will miss our talks and I will miss him. He was a true gentleman and mensch.
Lisa Mendlowicz January 22, 2026 02:48 PM
I met Earl in 1988 as an articling student and have kept in touch with him over the years, he was always generous with his time and advice. He was a wonderful lawyer but more importantly a true mensch. May his memory be a blessing.
Michael Kutner January 22, 2026 02:45 PM
My condolences on Earl''s passing. My father and I worked with Earl for many years on a number of dental practice transactions. It was always a pleasure dealing with him. I learnt a lot from him on how to be a good and gentlemanly lawyer. He will be missed.

I was very sorry to hear about Earl passing away. I have known Earl for probably 40 years and we worked closely at Teplitsky Colson on cases and Earl was a wonderful friend . He helped me out with my cases and was always available to consult with and was a great guy. He will be sorely missed. Harvin Pitch
George Candiano January 22, 2026 01:50 PM
It is with a heavy heart that I received the tragic news that Earl has passed away. And even though I''ve only had the pleasure of knowing him in his professional capacity. I actually felt a greater sense of loss for him, than I''ve felt with some other people closer to me in my own circle of friends. I remember fondly how well Earl and his equally gracious assistance Fatima, treated me and other members of my family. I remember how reassured he made me feel, and how he treated my concerns as though they were his own. Earl treated people with a caring, confident demeanor that made us feel valued and important. This is why Earl has left a mark in my memory. Please accept my deepest condolences for your monumental loss, and please know my thoughts and prayers are with you all at this time.
Jonathan Kulathungam January 22, 2026 01:41 PM
I first met Earl as an articling student nearly 30 years ago. He greeted me with open arms and since then has been an amazing and consistent mentor, adviser, friend, confidant and colleague. He will be greatly missed.
John Orlik & Joanne Thachuk January 22, 2026 01:25 PM
Earl was my lawyer , my consigliere and above all my good friend. I have many funny anecdotes from my time with him. He always calmed Joanne and me when we needed it . It was a real honour to know him and may his memory be a blessing. We will miss you Earl .
Bruce Lewis January 22, 2026 01:13 PM

Earl and I were in the same class for our early education. First at West Prep, then Forest Hill Junior High (where we shared a locker) and then through Forest Hill Collegiate. After that our paths crossed professionally over the years. He was a disciplined lawyer with great business instincts. Rest in peace, old friend.
