Peacefully on August 12, 2017 after leading a long and eventful life with wit and ingenuity. Predeceased by his dear first and second wives, Monica and Frances. Much loved father of Patricia (Ken) and Stephen (Gail). Dearly loved grandfather of Kathleen (Daniel), Jillian (Michael), Ellen, Emily (Andrew), and Jocelyne and great-granddaughter, Avery, all of whom he was very proud. The family thank his home caregivers for affording him such good company and for enabling him to remain comfortably in his own home for as long as he did. The family are also indebted to the staff of Sunrise Assisted Living, Burlington, where he was living most recently, for their expert care and boundless good humour. In lieu of flowers, donations to The Salvation Army or The Alzheimer Society of Canada would be greatly appreciated. Please visit the Book of Memories at www.wardfuneralhome.com
