(1927-2020) - E. Raymond Walters died peacefully at his home in Port Perry on June 23, 2020, in his 94th year.He was born in his grandfather’s house on Main Street South in Uxbridge on February 26, 1927.Between these two bookend events 16 km apart, spanned a remarkable life as full and rich as they come. Ray was a talented artist and businessman who was happiest outdoors — camping, painting, downhill skiing, flying, fishing and playing golf. He belonged to a cohort of commercial artists, lithographers and printers in Toronto who, inspired by the Group of Seven a generation earlier, escaped the city every year to sketch and paint rural Ontario.Ray was the son of Lloyd Walters and Mary Stephen, both of Uxbridge.During the Second World War, Ray had wanted to join the air force but was too young. So he took a pilot training program offered by the government instead and learned how to fly.If reincarnation existed, he once mused he would like to come back as a loon so that he could fly and fish all day long. Ray was predeceased in 2018 by Lois, his beloved wife of nearly 66 years, and his brother Jim in 2012. He leaves behind sons Kevin, Cameron (Janice) and Christopher (Randy), and his grandson Peter (Jessica), as well a garage full of things he never threw away. Ray will also be missed by nieces and nephews and a wide circle of friends, neighbours and fellow artists.Thanks to the compassionate care providers who helped make Ray’s last days at home as comfortable as possible. Interment to take place at Ingoldsby Pioneer Cemetery at a later date.Charitable donations are welcome in Ray’s memory to the Arts & Letters Club of Toronto Foundation to assist youth in the arts.
Age 72, beloved wife, mother and grandmother, drew her last breath at home on June 21, 2020 from complications of her years-long battle with Myeloma.Born on December 26, 1947, daughter of the late Howard Sydney and Eileen Alexandria Perrin, Elaine was born and grew up in Newmarket Ontario.She completed her nursing degree at the University of Windsor, and spent several years working as a nursing instructor at Sheridan College.She met her spouse of 44 years through the introduction of a work colleague, who serendipitously became her mother-in-law, Myrtle Johnstone. She married Terrance Douglas Johnstone in 1975, and they shared a wonderful life together, raising three beautiful sons who were the light of her life in Oshawa, Ontario. Family was always the most important thing to Elaine, and nothing made her happier than having her sons either at home with her celebrating a holiday, simply sharing a meal together, or spending summers at the family cottage at Kushog Lake in the Algonquin Highlands. While Terry and the boys would often go out after supper to fish, Elaine could always be found supporting their efforts by calling "Here fishy-fishy!" from the dock.Elaine leaves behind a loving family in her husband, Terry; their children, Adam Douglas (and his wife Jennifer); Timothy James (and his wife Maureen); and the baby of the family, Gregg Andrew. She is also survived by her older brother Walter James Perrin (and his wife Anne); and nephews Brian (and his fiancée Trina) and Jeff (and his wife Reeshemah). She will also be greatly missed by the family dog, Rosie. Elaine also leaves behind a small troop of grandchildren: Ewan, Wyatt and Everett, with whom she was delighted to have had a chance to meet as they were all born after her initial cancer diagnosis.Although Elaine faced her diagnosis and various health complications over the last decade with her legendary equanimity, her boys fondly recall how she used to cope with truly terrifying situations growing up. When a dead vole fell out of the ceiling on her while she was doing laundry; or when tent caterpillars started spurting out of the vents of the van; or when Harvey the family dog ate some horse poop at the farm and then vomited it back up; she would always scream - "Terrrrrryyyy!"Elaine was not known for her sense of direction, as she sometimes got lost ferrying the boys around to their activities growing up. One time while running late for hockey practice, she ended up driving the boys to the wrong rink altogether - they of course did not tell her she was going to the wrong rink until after they had arrived! Despite this, she enjoyed exploring. In the early years of their retirement Elaine and Terry enjoyed travelling the globe, from the beautiful scenic fields of Tuscany, to cruising the Alaskan panhandle and around the Caribbean. Elaine could always be found enjoying the view, sitting and watching the crowds go by.Elaine was the life of the party with a sp
