May 1, 1927 – February 14, 2025
After a long life well lived, Jock passed away peacefully at Cedarwood LTC in Simcoe on February 14, 2025 at the age of 97 with family by his side. Predeceased by his wife Bonnie (2024) of 58 years, father of Michelle (John) and Mark (Sonya), grandfather to Scott (Christina), Evan (Emma), Brooke (Nick), Nate and Tessa. Great-grandfather to Aubrey, Kaysen and Alexandra. Survived by his sister Flora (Ben+) and predeceased by his parents Clement and Maria, siblings Joe (Ruth), Vince (Vi), Mike (Betty) and Lucy (Don). Jock had been retired from CGC for over 35 years after a 40 year long career. Back in the day he was an active member of All Saints Anglican Church, Hagersville Lions Club, H.A.A.A. and volunteer driver for the Cancer Society and Dialysis Association. He enjoyed travelling, cheering on the Blue Jays, puzzles, and was a very talented woodworker, creating many beautiful pieces of furniture that have been passed down throughout the family. All through his life, Jock always put family first and many of the family traditions he started are still held in his honour. The family would like to thank all of the Cedarwood staff for their excellent care and compassion shown to Jock over the last two plus years and are truly thankful for all you did for him. We will honour Jock’s life with visitation on Monday February 17, 2025 from 2 – 4 p.m. and 6 – 8 p.m. at Hyde & Mott Funeral Home Hagersville. Cremation and a celebration of life will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, donations to the West Haldimand Hospital would be appreciated. www.rhbanderson.com
