Peacefully at the Souris Hospital on Sunday, March 28, 2021 Preston Allen Coffin passed away with his loving family and partner by his side. He was in his 90th year of Kingsboro, PE.
He is predeceased by his dear wife Jean (nee Stewart) and will be forever loved and deeply missed by his daughters Karen Cooke, Judy Coffin and sons Allen (Lori) and Rick (Nancy). Also to mourn the loss is his special friend and companion of 17 years Vi Yates. Survived by his grandchildren Colin (Zoe) and Andrew Cooke, Candace Jamieson (Brad), Ashley, Mike (Stephanie), Coady (Amanda) and Rylee Coffin (Ann) and 11 great grandchildren.
Preston will be forever remembered as a caring brother to his siblings Clara Swazey (Roy; deceased), Margaret Gillis (Joseph; deceased), Eileen Sweeney (Buddy; deceased), Sheldon (Doreen; deceased) and Weston Coffin (Kay) and Birdie Rose (Sheldon). He is also survived by his sisters-in-law Mary and Lorraine Coffin and by members of the Stewart family Arthur (Anne), Ira (Nora), Glen (Barbara; deceased), Joan Stewart and Karolyn Jones (Edward; deceased).
Preston started working at a very early age as a farm hand and trucker. He went on to having a long career as a fisherman for 50 years in Basin Head and North Lake. He loved to share stories of fishing in later years. Preston also enjoyed watching hockey and always seemed to go for the winning team, but we knew he was a true Maple Leaf fan. He had a great interest in all the day to day community happenings. He is predeceased by his parents Percy and Louise Coffin, along with his brothers Winsloe (Edith), William, Lee, Stuart, Stanley and Kenneth Coffin; sister Elsie Garner (Blake) and brother-in-law Eldon Stewart.
Resting at Dingwell Funeral Home where visiting hours will take place for immediate family and close friends. A private graveside service will also be held at the Kingsboro Cemetery, PE.
