It is with great sadness that we regret to announce the passing of Michael Layton. Michael, 75, died Sunday, June 17, 2018 at the Credit Valley Hospital Palliative Care Unit in Mississauga following a courageous battle with leukemia. He leaves behind his loving wife of 46 years, Angeline (nee Dugas) Layton; his son, Douglas Marc Layton and wife Amanda D’Arcy Layton-Malone; his son, Charles-Francois Layton and wife Molly Rae Layton; his beloved grandchild Chase Alexander Layton; and many close friends. Born in Budapest, Hungary, the son of Douglas and Elizabeth Layton (Ladanyi), the family immigrated to Canada in 1950. In his early years, he was an enthusiastic collector of sports cards, a pastime that led him to become a lifelong fan of the Winnipeg Blue Bombers and New York Rangers. After graduating from Loyola High School in Montreal, Quebec, he attended McGill University, graduating in 1967 with a Bachelor of Commerce degree. He met his beautiful wife, Angeline Dugas, in 1970 and they were married two years later at St. Kevin’s Holy Catholic Church. His first son Douglas Marc was born in 1974, and his second son, Charles-Francois, was born in 1976. During this time, the family moved to Mississauga, Ontario, where Michael resided for the remainder of his life. For 30 years, Michael proudly served the Canadian Federal Government as a Certified General Accountant. He had a passion for travel which he shared with his wife, visiting numerous locales throughout the world. An avid bridge player and instructor, he was a long-time member of the Mississauga-Oakville Community Bridge Club where he thoroughly enjoyed spending time with his wife and fellow players.
