Anthony Benjamin Tony Wood arrived March 26th, 1943 in London, England and departed July 4, 2022 in Orono, Ontario. Tony immigrated from England in 1951 with his parents Doreen and Benjamin Wood. Canada was a paradise for him. He enjoyed all that was to offer in Canada especially the outdoors. Hunting, fishing, canoeing and camping were some of his many pleasures. Tony chose to die with dignity surrounded by his loving family: his wife Betty Ann of 56 years, children, and grandchildren – Gilbert (Karen), Maggie Benjamin, Simon, Wood; Tina (Nick Brown) , Nicholas Wieringa, Christopher Wieringa, Ryleigh Brown; Lori (Jason Feddema), Andrew, Sam, Lizzy Feddema. Tony enjoyed many adventures with his family as well as travels with Betty Ann to destinations including all provinces in Canada, visits to the USA and Europe as well as winter vacations in St. Martin. Tony enjoyed golfing at Dalewood with the senior men’s league. He spent many years hunting with members of the John’s Lake Hunt Camp. Tony sat on many committees including Kirby Public School PTA, Clark High School PTA, Municipal of Clarington committees as well as Ganaraska Forest Board. Tony also coached Orono soccer for more than 10 years. Tony will be truly missed by his best friend of over 60 years Bob Marshall, as well as his numerous nieces, nephews and his cousins, Sue, Joanna, and Yvonne in England and Barry, Steve, Dennis, Elaine and Pat in Niagara.
