BEAVER: Howard Ross
Ross passed away at the Brantford General Hospital the morning of February 20, 2018 at the age of 86 years. Loving father of Yvonne (Gord) and Cindy (Joe). Brother of Ollie (Ernie) Beaver and Eva Williams. Uncle to many nieces and nephews. Predeceased by his wife Betty (Potter) and infant daughter Betty Joan; parents Howard and Stella Beaver, brothers Peter, Bud and Ronald Beaver and sisters Violet House, Grace Patterson and Ruth Mt Pleasant. Ross was a retired member of the International Union of Operating Engineers, Local 793, digging up many things over the years with the big machines he operated. He was also an avid woodsman, hunter, and farmer – loved those pigs! In his younger days Ross belonged to the Southern Ontario Coon Hunters Association; he raised and trained Treeing Walker Dogs and was always willing to take you out on a night of hunting adventures! Ross’ last 3 years were spent in the care of Iroquois Lodge, he spent his days sitting at the front door talking to anyone that stopped to chat, teasing those that could take it and of course always had a candy in his pocket for you. Many thanks to all who contributed to his care at the lodge! Special thank you to Art Porter for being a great friend to Ross and all the prayers over the last few years and in the final days. Donations to the Iroquois Lodge or the Alzheimer Society of Brant would also be appreciated. Visitation will be held at Styres Funeral Home, 1798 4th Line Rd., Ohsweken on Thursday from 6-8 pm. where funeral service will be held in the chapel on Friday, February 23, 2018 at 2pm. Interment Medina Baptist Cemetery. www.rhbanderson.com
