Power, Patrick – Born October 9, 1936 – August 24, 2022.
We are all Saddened to announce the passing of our patriarch, Pat on Wednesday August 24th 2022 at PRHC palliative care unit.
Predeceased by his life partner Ann Power July 2020, and his Daughter Brenda Zinger September 2015.

At the age of 18 Pat left Lachen, Dunamaggin, county Kilkenny Ireland. With a sister in Australia and another in Canada he flipped a coin and two weeks later walked off a boat in Montreal to begin his adventure and met his partner Ann Campbell. For more than 60 years they loved and lived, starting a family in Montreal, graduating from McGill University and finally settling in Peterborough Ontario in 1966 where they set roots and became part of the fabric of the community through volunteerism at the church, Irish society and a number of other philanthropic endeavours, always 100% committed to the task at hand and working jointly with Ann.
A great and warm thank you to Jane Mark and her team at PRHC.
