KERR, Charles – Suddenly at home on Thursday, September 2, 2021 at the age of 80. Cherished husband of Maxine for 58 wonderful years. Loving father of Christine (Gerry) Nicholson and Sharon (Byron) Perry. Proud Binya/Papa to Pearl (Gavin), Ryan (Maddy), and Grace. Survived by his ‘bestest’ sister Jacqueline and brother George. He will be missed by his extended family and friends. Predeceased by siblings Alice, Edward, Dawson, Joe and granddaughter Abby.
Charles was an elementary teacher for 35 years, who had the pleasure of teaching his own family. After retiring from education and moving to Mount Forest, he drove for Fettes Tours and worked at MacDonald Home Hardware. He enjoyed his ‘hobby jobs’ and the people he was able to meet. Charles enjoyed going to the sugar bush in the spring each year. We will really miss his witty remarks and many cherished moments together.
