Bought in 1977 on his honeymoon with Norma, Maurice’s property in Huron Country Ontario, was one of his favorite places to relax and enjoy the outdoors. Over the years, Maurice and Norma built the small cottage into a lovely summer home at which many happy family gatherings were held and enjoyed. In keeping with his wishes, Maurice’s ashes will be scattered at the property (lovely known as The Farm) in the spring.

The family would like to thank Vitas Healthcare for the excellent Hospice care they provided for Maurice during his last 3 months.
