Donald Pattison
1936-2024
It is with great sadness we share the news of Don’s passing.
Don is survived by his wife of sixty six years, Lesley, and two of his sons, Neil and Ian(Karen).
He is predeceased by his eldest son, Gregory. He is grandfather to Kristen(Nic) and Luke, and great-grandfather to Max. Don was born the youngest of six siblings in Yorkshire, England.
He is predeceased by four sisters and one brother. He was a beloved uncle to his many nieces and nephews and looked forward to their company on his trips back home. Don immigrated to Canada with his young family in 1967.
He was a tool and die maker, and his innovative thinking and skills earned him the respect of his fellow journeymen. Don loved a good laugh, a good beer, and the company of good friends.
He was especially close with Les and Jean Sayer, fellow immigrants met shortly after his arrival in Canada.
Upon retirement, he enjoyed several years of travel to South Carolina where he met with a large group of friends each spring and fall.
Some of his favourite times were spent setting up in the dark on the beach to fish through the sunrise.
Instead of goodbye, Don would tell you, “Mind how you go”, and “Don’t do anything I wouldn’t do and you’ll be alright”.
It was Don’s wish that no service be held.
We ask that you hold his memory closely, and wish him a fond farewell.

She sought out opportunities to assist both children and youth who were considered at risk and wanted to play a role in impacting their lives in a positive way.
She volunteered with Youth Justice Services with the Ontario Public Service, working with youth in conflict with the law and subsequently worked with Associated Youth Services of Peel continuing to provide services to troubled youth.
She also worked for Side by Side Access Services, a community agency providing supervised visitation for children involved in custodial disputes. Deirdre had a natural artistic and creative ability.
She developed her skills over the years and created some impressive pieces of art. Her work has been displayed in both magazines and local art exhibits in both Toronto and Durham Region. She enjoyed music, spending time watching the latest movies and television shows. She loved her family and friends and cherished the time she could spend making memories. Her smile and laugh brought warmth to all. Deirdre will be missed by many and fondly remembered by all who had the pleasure of knowing her.
