November 4, 1938 – October 1, 2023

It is with heavy hearts that we share the news of Neil’s peaceful passing, on October 1, 2023 at the age of 84.

He is now resting in the everlasting arms of the Lord.

Left to cherish his memories are his loving wife of 57 years, Diana Mary (nee Simmons), his children Andrew (Lisa), David (Suzanne) and Lyndsay. He also leaves behind five beautiful granddaughters, Beatrice, Sophie, Sydney, Charlotte and Sabrina.

He will be missed by his sister Dale Sinclair (Clarence), sister-in-law Christine Simmons (Terry pre-deceased), and his many nieces and nephews and their families.

Neil worked for 22 years at the Toronto Stock Exchange as a Manager of Market Surveillance and retired in 2001.

Neil loved fishing and enjoyed sharing his stories of his fly-in fishing adventures he experienced over the years with David and Andrew, and many close friends. He was an avid sports fan, who loved to watch his Cleveland Browns, Toronto Blue Jays and Toronto Maple Leafs.

He was always an active member of the church choir and would never pass up the opportunity to get up on the dance floor.
