Obituary of George Ross

ROSS, Weir Peacefully and surrounded by his family at his home in Toronto on Saturday, June 25, 2005. Beloved husband of Judy. Loved father of Currie (William), Douglas and Christopher. Special Papa of Aiden, Quinn, Ross, Jude, Ethan and Pascale. He will also be greatly missed by Rob Labatt, Tony Labatt, Yves and Gill. Dear brother of Jim Ross and the late Bob Ross. Weir was born in Montreal, attended L.C.C. and took the advertising world by storm with his unique creativity. His move to Toronto, love of food and entertaining, brought him to his passion, the restaurant business. He owned many restaurants starting with 18 years at the helm of Barberian�s (establishing it as a Toronto landmark) and most recently ownership of Il Fornello on Elm which he just renamed "35 Elm�. His other passions included his family, time spent with grandchildren, his childhood family place in Lac des Isles, Quebec and the cottage on Lake Rosseau, Muskoka. We are very grateful for the care and support given by his many friends. We would like to thank the Temmy Latner Centre, especially Dr. Russell Goldman, for the dignified care given to Weir at the end of his life. The family will receive friends at the HUMPHREY FUNERAL HOME - A.W. MILES CHAPEL, 1403 Bayview Avenue (south of Eglinton Avenue East), from 5-8 p.m. on Wednesday, June 29. A service will be held at GRACE CHURCH ON-THE-HILL, 300 Lonsdale Road on Thursday, June 30 at 11:00 o�clock. In lieu of flowers, donations in Weir�s memory to the Temmy Latner Centre for Palliative Care, 700 University Avenue, 3rd Floor, Ste #3000, Toronto, Ontario M5G 1Z5, would be greatly appreciated.
