Rod Nicholson, 85, of Ajax, Ontario, suddenly passed away on September 14th at Lakeridge Ajax Hospital. He was born to Rena and Sam Nicholson, in Glenarm, Ontario.
As a young man, he moved to Toronto. He married his first wife, Audrey, in 1957, and they raised four children. He became a first-class auto mechanic. He continued looking for other career opportunities, and in 1966, he joined the Toronto Police Services and worked there until he retired in 2000. He worked in various capacities, finishing his career in the Employee Assistance Program.
He married his second wife, Diane, in 1981. They built a great life together and took great pride in their grandchildren. After retirement, they continued spending time at their trailer with their dog, Rocky. In retirement, he worked for the Toronto Police Association, supporting police officers who needed assistance. He received many commendations and awards, including the Queens Diamond Jubilee Medal.
As a longtime member of Alcoholics Anonymous, Rod was known for making a significant contribution to the lives of his fellow members. He lived a life of service and was known for supporting people in their struggle with alcoholism.
He was generous in sharing his time and his finances with others. He received special recognition from World Vision for his charitable giving to end poverty for children worldwide. He was also passionate about animals, golfing, gardening and brightening the world around him. He had a penchant for nice clothing, especially suits and liked to dress up and go out. Rod was lucky in love. In 2011, he met Terry, and they married in 2012. Together, they built a great life that involved serving in many leadership and community roles. They were proud cat-parents to the Duke and Duchess. Sadly, during their time together, Rod needed more care and was grateful for the care that Terry provided him during these years.
Rod leaves behind his loving wife, Terry, his brothers, Bill (Sally) and John (Angela), and his sister Catherine and his children, Debra (Brent), Sheree (Tom), Sandra (Peter) and Steven (Samantha). He also leaves behind his grandchildren, Richard, Heather, Alyssa, Margaux, and Lindsay, his great-grandchildren, Jasmine, Jayda, Jace, Brennan, Bianca-Alix, and many good friends.
He is preceded in death by his parents, his wife Diane, their granddaughter Mikaela and his brother-in- law, Terry.
