Together Bob and Helen raised 5 children on their family dairy farm in North Easthope. Sebringville became their new home when they left the farm. In retirement they enjoyed traveling abroad and camping with their motorhome. Bobcageon was a favorite summertime destination where boating, fishing and relaxing in the great outdoors was top priority. Playing cards with friends and family was a passion for Helen where there was lots of competition and especially lots of laughs. Concerts in the park, attending theatre with friends, reading and doing jigsaw puzzles were also favorite pastimes.
A private family service was held on Thursday June 30th, 2022 at 2:00 p.m., with interment to follow.
As expressions of sympathy, memorial donations may be made to the Rotary Hospice Stratford or the Canadian Cancer Society through W. G. Young Funeral Home. 519.271.7411. www.wgyoungfuneralhome.com
