Colwill, Clinton Lorne
Born in Northam, Prince Edward Island, March 3, 1930

It is with great sadness we announce the passing of Clinton at home surrounded by his family. Survived by his beloved wife Jean of 60 years, children Barry (June), Darlene Good (Dave) and Scott (Kim), grandchildren Ryan, Tara (Carlo), Spenser, Kinsey, Myles, Glen and great grandson Logan. Predeceased by grandson Kevin.
Son of the late Athol and Edna (Ramsay) Colwill. A brother to Alice (Urban), Sterling (Bea), Joyce (Ancel), Doreen (Alex), Ernie (Jean), Blanche (Gerry), Carl (Helen) and Ralph who died in infancy. Also survived by sister- in-law Pauline, brother- in- law Clarence and many nieces and nephews.
Clinton’s career in P.E.I. included timbering, masonry and operating the family farm. In 1964 he moved his family to Ontario where he worked in the elevator construction industry for Otis until he retired in 1991. His many hobbies included woodworking, rebuilding antique tractors, gardening, mastering the art of brew making and trips to his brother Ernie’s woodlot. He was always happiest when surrounded by his family with Jean by his side.
The family wishes to thank Southlake Hospital, Dr. Fry and all the wonderful support provided through CCAC. Donations to the Canadian Cancer Society would be appreciated.
Family and friends please join us at the Holland Marsh Winery, 18270 Keele St., Newmarket, L3Y 4V9, on June 7, 2012 at 3 p.m. to celebrate Clinton’s life.
