Basil Beatty Benson
Basil passed away on August the 11th 2021, at Victoria Manor in his 98th year. He was predeceased by his wife, Anne. Basil and Anne grew up in the Beach area of Toronto and both attended Malvern Collegiate. When Basil graduated, he joined the air force. Following the war, he studied Forestry at the University of Toronto and spent his career working for the provincial government. He is survived by his daughters Nancy (Laurie), Diane (Ken) and Mary. He is also survived by grandchildren Jason (Sarah) and great grandson, Benson, April (Brent), Tim (Catherine), Sarah, Krissy (Brian) and Connor and Hayden, and Paul (predeceased).
He loved spending time with his grandchildren and granddogs but was especially pleased when his great grandchild, Benson, was born. Bas loved being at the cottage or on the golf course. We want to thank his Victoria Manor family for all the care and love they gave him.
In lieu of flowers, memorial donations can be made in Basil’s name to the Humane Society of Kawartha Lakes or the Kawartha Lakes Food Source. Condolences and donations can be made via cheque through the Mackey Funeral Home, 33 Peel Street, Lindsay or online at www.mackeys.ca.
