Suds truly enjoyed the journey. Struggled through trying childhood circumstances but grew into a determined, intelligent and big-hearted young man. Loved and excelled at rugby, football and especially hockey at Lawrence Park Collegiate and Varsity hockey at Victoria College,
U of T, with his many friends and schoolmates. Joined the RCAF for WWII at age 18 working radio communications in Northern England. Returned and earned his B. Comm at Vic. and soon married his joyful optimist Patricia (Pat).
Founding Sales and Marketing executive for fledgling mutual fund company AGF Management Ltd. The great success of AGF enabled an early retirement. In retirement Suds wrote and promoted a lovely children’s story about how money works entitled One Penny Two Penny.

Pat and Suds travelled the world and enjoyed 5 decades of idyllic summers in Muskoka golfing dining, dancing and laughing with many friends and family. The cottage remains a treasured family memory. Wintered in Florida with many Muskoka friends and others. For 66 years they remained deeply in love until Pat’s fatal fall in 2016.

Much loved and admired by Rob (Cheryl), Jamie (Brenda) and the twins Sheree (Heinz) and Marie (Kevin) and grandchildren Bridgette, Christopher, Ashley, Sarah, Carl, Ann and Joy, and great grand babies Heidi, and Gigi.

Dad taught us and demonstrated love and kindness, courage and determination, humour
and curious enthusiasm, and the power of positive thinking!

He also delighted in learning and playing old favourites on his fancy keyboard.

Even though dementia took its toll over the last few years he knew his family until the very end, and for his entire journey he simply never gave up. We will never forget.

Special thanks to the entire Delmanor team and loving personal caregivers Josephine, Leila, Rhea, and Maggie.

Per his wishes only a gathering of immediate family will be held.
