A lifelong resident of Morrisburg, Hugh Myers passed away peacefully at Dundas Manor, Winchester with his loving family by his side on Sunday, October 16, 2011. He was 83.

The only child of the late John Frederick and Amy (nee Banks) Myers, Hugh was born on February 20, 1928, in Morrisburg.

On September 15, 1956, at St. Peter’s Lutheran Church, Williamsburg, he married Doris Ruth McIntosh who survives.

The couple made their home for many years at 27 High Street in Morrisburg, and Hugh worked in the Forestry Division of Hydro One for 35 years until his retirement.

A member of the Indian River Hunt Club, Hugh loved to fish and hunt.

At the age of 18, he enlisted in the Royal Navy and served for five years. He then worked for two years on the boats in the Great Lakes.

In his spare time, Hugh umpired fastball and was a hockey referee, who travelled throughout the area.

Being an only child, Hugh spent a great deal of time in his younger years with the Jones’ family. In his later years, he enjoyed gardening and time spent with his grandchildren. He worked hard and provided for his family. 

A quiet, shy man, he was a homebody at heart, and a down to earth person. His family was most important to him.

He was a member of the Royal Canadian Legion, Branch #48 and St. James Anglican Church. 

Hugh is survived by his beloved wife of 55 years, Doris, and by his children Carol (Robert) Corry and David (Kathy), both of Morrisburg. He was cherished grandfather of Natalie and Kurtis Corry and Amy and Sarah Myers, all of Morrisburg.

Friends were received at the Parker Funeral Home, Morrisburg, on Tuesday, October 18, from 2-4 and 7-9 p.m. The funeral service was conducted by Rev. Susan McCullough in the Parker Funeral Home chapel on Wednesday, October 19 at 11 a.m.

A resident of Dundas Manor in Winchester, for the past seven years, Delmer Patterson passed away at the Winchester District Memorial Hospital on January 5, 2014.  He was 77.

Delmer was born at home on the Conroy Road in Ottawa, on January 10, 1936, to his parents Alexander and Margaret Patterson (nee Martin).

In 1961, at St. Andrew’s Anglican Church, Vars, Delmer married Marjorie Jackson, and together they farmed and raised six children in the Greely, Vernon and Iroquois areas.

Delmer was a long-time employee of the Central Experimental Farm in the plot division doing the tractor work.

He loved anything about tractors (especially Farmall tractors), auction sales, the McHaffie Flea Market on Sundays, going to the C & L Feed Store and the Brinston General Store for the daily “coffee club”.  Delmer loved the plowing matches and tractor pulls, and you could often see him driving around the countryside in his red Chev truck.

Delmer is survived by his wife, Marjorie of 52 years and their children Don (Dawn) of Dalmeny, Debbie (Patrice) Fortier of Vars, Marlene Patterson of Navan, Meryl (Kathy) of Metcalfe, John (Wendy) of Russell and Bea (Lyndon) Stewart of Iroquois.

He will be fondly remembered by his grandchildren Alex, Ben, Alain, Benoit, Colin, Connor, Jessica, Melissa, Cameron and Sarah.  He is also survived by cousins, nieces and nephews.

Delmer was the brother of Wilma (Lloyd) Sharp of Ottawa, brother-in-law of Jack Hanes of St. David’s and of Norma Dagenais (late Andre), Mary Jackson (late George) and Meryl and Cherie Jackson.

He was predeceased by his sister Myrlah Hanes.

Friends called at the Marsden and McLaughlin Funeral Home, Williamsburg on Wednesday, January 8th, from 10 a.m. until time of the funeral service at 11 a.m. The service was conducted by Rev. Valerie Vande Wiele.  A eulogy was given by his daughter Bea Stewart.  Pallbearers were Delmer’s grandsons, Alex Patterson, Ben Patterson, Alain Fortier, Benoit Fortier, Colin Patterson, Connor Patterson and Cameron Stewart.
