Obituary
With heavy hearts and deep love, we announce the passing of Arnold Herbert Sedore on October 18th, 2022, at the age of 89.
He passed peacefully with his wife, Theresa of 70 years, and daughters Donna and Pamela by his side. He will be missed by his siblings Elaine (Ron), Marilyn, Doug (Jean), Betty (Dale) along other relatives and close friends.
He now joins his two sons Stephen and Paul; parents Joseph and Mary; siblings Everton, Barbara, Ron (Shirley) and Ralph (Arlene).
Arnold worked for Ontario Hydro for 38 years while also becoming a farmer in 1965. He was a proud, hardworking man who valued his family and friends above all. While striving for a balanced life, he played as hard as he worked (recent stories have been very enlighteningJ). There was no project too big or too small that he wouldn’t undertake and accomplish. He enjoyed woodworking, hunting, fishing and sports (Hockey / Baseball). He even took one of our horses for a ride after a beverage or two. His favorite colour of machinery was Massy red and often referred to his tractor as is hired hand. Farming was a way of life for Arnold.
Thank you to everyone who provided support and comfort to Arnold and the family during and after his illness: John and Stacey, Bob and Deanne, Kevin, Roy, Dr Battel and Wendy at the Centennial Family Physicians; the team at KGH Kidd 10 Unit who took such compassionate care of Arnold; Dr Parker and team of the Pleural Space Clinic; St. Elizabeth Health and Home Care; Dr Hagarty and Dr Kondor.
In keeping with Arnold’s wishes there will be no service. If you so desire, donations can be made to your favorite charity.
Just a Farmer
“Just a farmer,” you said
And I laughed ’cause I knew
All the things that farmers
Must be able to do.
They must study the land,
Then watch the sky
And figure just what
Is the right time and why
To sow and to plant
To buy and to sell
To go to the market
With cattle, and well.
You know all the books
That farmers must keep
To pay all those taxes
And be able to sleep.
And you know the fixin’
That farmers must do
When machines like mad monsters
Blow a gasket or two.
I guess when God needed
Folks to care for His earth,
He chose “just farmers”
Cause he knew their true worth.
