Franklin, Hugh Cameron West
February 24, 1930 – March 18, 2024
Hugh passed away peacefully at Collingwood General & Marine Hospital.
Beloved husband of the late Isobel Franklin; (nee McDonald); Cherished Father of Fraser and Colin Grant (Kelly); Very proud Grandfather of Riley.
Hugh was loved and will be sadly missed by Joye Robertson and family.
Born in Guatemala, attended grade school in Jamaica, then onto Ridley, RMC /’52 and U of T for Engineering. Hugh also held a Private Pilot License and once successfully crash-landed a Harvard after a mechanical failure.
A bachelor until well into his 40’s, Hugh quickly embraced family life. He was the king of barbequing, always measured his scotch exactly, and selectively turned a blind eye to the shenanigans of his two teenage boys.
Hugh was thoughtful, considerate and a true gentleman for all of his 94 years. He had a wonderful life.
Much gratitude extended to Dr. Cornell and the wonderful staff at the Collingwood General & Marine Hospital.
A celebration of life will happen in the late spring.
In lieu of flowers, donations to the hospital would be appreciated.
