Ross Detweiler
1933-2022
Detweiler, Ross
Alexander
Peacefully, with the knowledge of how much we all loved him,
our dad passed away at Wellington Terrace, Fergus on Tuesday April 19,
2022 at the age of 88 years.
Ross was the beloved husband of the late Gwen (2017). He will
live on in the hearts of his children Susan Osborne (John), Ross
Detweiler (late Sara), Patti Scott (Dave), Dan Detweiler and
step-daughter Lynne Black (Bill). Dear brother of Ralph and Murray and
the late Don, Jean, Wanda, Neil, Gaele, Betty and Barry. Predeceased
by parents Harold and Ruby. He was the cherished grandfather of 9 and
great grandfather of 7. He will be fondly remembered by friends,
neighbors and acquaintances. We would also like to thank the nurses
and PSWs of Walnut Glen Neighbourhood at Wellington Terrace for their
compassion and dedication during dad’s time
there.
Dad was a strong, determined, hard working man who, by
example, instilled those same qualities in each of his children. He
was organized and could fix practically anything. He loved his cottage
on Bear Lake, which he built himself on land that he cleared in 1966.
He loved flowers, and our childhood home where he lived until January,
was the prettiest on the street. He loved animals and birds and
enjoyed feeding his “little buddies”. We are all so
immensely proud of everything he accomplished in his life and will
miss him beyond measure.
A private graveside service was held at Woodlawn Memorial
Park. Family and friends are invited to attend a reception/gathering
at GILCHRIST CHAPEL – McIntyre
& Wilkie Funeral Home, One Delhi Street,
Guelph in the lower level Trillium Room on

Canada 1-800-616-8816 would be appreciated. We invite you to leave

Our most sincere sympathies to the family and friends of Ross Detweiler 19332022..
