Known for his kindness, generosity, humour, love for music and Subarus; he will be endlessly missed by his daughter Jessica, his grandson Sebastian, his brother Jim and family, his best friend T, and so many others.
Cremation has taken place. A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date. If desired memorial donations to The Sharing Place (Orillia Food Bank) would be appreciated by the family. Arrangements entrusted to the Carson Funeral Homes, 54 Coldwater St. E., Orillia, Ontario (705) 326-3595.
