Leo Edmund Prior Obituary
Passed away at the Kingston Health Sciences Centre on Wednesday November 6, 2024 in his 83rd year. Beloved husband of 57 years to Marilyn Prior (née Hulse).
Much loved father of Gene Prior and Stephanie Prior (Steve). Cherished grandfather of Leos and Erika. Dear brother of Gertrude Fleury. Predeceased by 2 sisters Mary Rush and Maureen Kane and by 4 brothers Joe, Timothy, Mel and Colin Prior. Also survived by several nieces and nephews. A Memorial Mass will be held at St. John the Evangelist Church on Wednesday November 13 at 11:00 am. A Celebration of Life will then be held at the Gananoque Legion on Sunday November 24, 2024 from 1:00 – 3:00 PM. As expressions of sympathy donations made to the Gananoque Food Bank or to the Gananoque Humane Society would be appreciated by the family.
His last years were blessed with the love and support of his sister Gert, Murray and Rhea Roantree, Sue, Orange-Nicol, Bandit, Gretchen Huntley, Nurse Cathy Pringle and the many dedicated PSW’s, nurse practioners, Medical specialists, neighbors. Sincere appreciation to Dr. Wallace and the Staff of Connell 9 at the KGH for their care and compassion.
Leo was a skilled lifelong member of Local 269 Sheet Metal Workers, and took great pride in his work. His love of family is eternal. He was a quick wit, never forgot a wrong, loved a good time, worked hard and played harder. Retirement did not suit and he kept busy in his shop and other construction projects, and helping out. There was little he couldn’t build, repair, or invent.
In his later years he traded hunting ducks to carving them and songbirds, at which he excelled. But a favourite pastime was joining a few friends for a few pints at the local Legion. His parting words on the way to the truck were always “I’ll be right back”. If only.
Rest in peace.
