Jeffrey “Jeff” Alphonse Toner
1961-2021
It is with profound sadness that the family of Jeffrey
“Jeff” Alphonse Toner of Oromocto, New Brunswick, announce
his sudden and unexpected passing on November 27, 2021. Born
in Perth, New Brunswick, on May 18, 1961, he was the son of the late
Allison and Patricia (Charette) Toner and grew up on their potato farm
in Grand Falls.
Jeff is survived by his wife, Katherine “Kathy”
Winslow, daughter Zoë (Mitchell Simms), siblings Patrick
(Avril), Charles, Eileen, Jane (David Grebenc) and Michael Bourque
(Rose), many nieces and nephews as well as a large extend
family.
Jeff had a passion for anything with a motor. He was a
trained heavy equipment mechanic and earned BEd and MEd degrees from
UNB. He took pride in mentoring his students into some of the amazing
tradesmen that they are today. One of the proudest moments of his
career was building his 1965 Shelby AC Cobra kit car with his students
at Ridgeview Middle School. This project was a labor of love and he
took pride in watching his students take part in this unique and hands
on learning experience. Along with his work, he enjoyed having fun
with his collogues, and found amazing life-long friends throughout his
career.
Aside from his many projects, Jeff’s love for his
wife and daughter always took top priority. Jeff cherished the time he
spent with family and loved waking up every day to his beautiful wife
of 31 years. His door was always open to welcome
Zoë’s friends, making sure that the fridge was full
and just wanted everyone to be having a good time. Jeffrey was always
able to put a smile on even the sourest of faces with his constant
jokes and extravagant stories. He was a guy of many talents and a true
handy man. He is sincerely loved and will be
missed.
Visitation will be held at Oromocto Funeral Home on
Wednesday, December 1, 2021, from 2:00 pm – 4:00 pm
