It is with great sadness we announce the passing of our father on August 6, 2020 at 97 years of age. Beloved husband of 60 years to the late Joy (2015). Loving and devoted father to Ian (Mary), Keith (Anna) and the late Kathryn (1963). Cherished Grandad to Courtney, Trevor, Eric and Michael. Predeceased by his parents Edward and Winnifred. Dear brother to Joan (late Bert) Vickers, predeceased by Kay, Margaret, Mae, Roy and Marie. Survived by brother-in-law Gord (late Barb) Campbell. Will be fondly remembered by his many nieces and nephews.
Born and raised in Toronto, Dad graduated first in his class at The University of Toronto (Chemical Engineering), and played varsity soccer for U of T. During WW2 Dad served as a CANLOAN officer (Canadian officer on loan to The British Army) serving in The Netherlands, Belgium, and northern France.
Dad was well respected by those who knew him. His strong determination, loyalty, compassionate heart, wise counsel, and quick wit were traits admired by those he encountered along his journey.
He was a man of integrity which served him well, as a husband, father, grandfather, friend, officer in WW2, and a successful career at Hiram Walker & Sons Ltd.
Special thanks to Dr. Jeff Price and Huron Lodge, especially the Maple team. If you so desire, donations to the Alzheimer’s Society would be appreciated by the family.
