NORONHA, Patrick Francis
(September 26, 1932 – January 5, 2025) –
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Patrick Noronha, who departed peacefully on January 5, 2025, at Lakeridge Hospital in Oshawa, Ontario, surrounded by his loving family.
Born in Mumbai, India, Patrick lived a life of remarkable resilience, love, and generosity. He was a devoted husband to his beloved wife, Daphne Noronha, and a cherished father to Peggy (Derek) Saldanha, Joseph (Michelle) Noronha, and John (Lisa) Noronha. He was the proud grandfather of Matthew, Kristen, Lindsay, Brandon, Rae-Lyn, Ryan, Jennifer, Adam, and Nathan. Patrick was the adored great-grandfather of Emma, Sophie, Aiden, Jack, Chloe, Eddie, and Berkley. He was predeceased by his brother Freddy (Hazel), sister Rita (Alcino), and his parents Julian (May) and Alice. He is lovingly remembered by his brothers Gerard (Sue) and Joseph (Rose), his sister Frances (Al), and many other family members and friends.
A man of deep Catholic faith, Patrick believed in the power of family, hard work, and kindness. His life was a testament to perseverance, beginning with humble roots in Mumbai. As an accomplished air navigator with Air India, he embarked on a new chapter when he immigrated to Canada with his wife and young children, starting anew with unwavering determination. One of the early owners of Tim Hortons, Patrick turned his vision and work ethic into a life of success and service, always ready to lend a helping hand to family and friends as they established new lives in Canada.
Patrick had a natural love for sports, excelling in many throughout his life and playing some well into his 80s. He was an avid table tennis player, a skilled card enthusiast, and a teacher of fishing to his grandchildren. Patrick’s adventurous spirit also led to a passion for travel. He and Daphne spent many winters abroad, exploring new places and making cherished memories. The family cottage he built on Salmon Lake remains a treasured legacy, where generations continue to gather, create memories, and honour the foundation he laid.
Patrick will be remembered for his generosity, humor, and enduring commitment to the ones he loved. His life was a beacon of hope and kindness, and his presence will be dearly missed.
Funeral Mass will be held at St. John the Evangelist, 903 Giffard Street, Whitby, on Saturday January 11, 2025 at 1:30pm. Reception to follow. In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests that donations be made to the Alzheimer’s Society in Patrick’s honor and condolences may be expressed online at wctownfuneralchapel.com.
