Obituary of Edward Hugh Barker

BARKER, Edward "Hugh� (Member of St. Cuthbert�s Anglican Church for 61 years) Passed away on Monday, June 19, 2006, in his 93rd year. Beloved husband of Ruth Waddington for 62 years. Dear father of Nancy Dorkin, Margaret (Andi Kasperowitsch), Edward (Tish O�Connell), Marion (Brian Graham), Sharon (Dana Stanley) and Susan (Kevin Donnelly). Loving grandfather of Cynthia (Greg Curtis), Catherine, Lisa, John, Clare, Daniel, Jeffrey, Christine, Sean, Adam, Laura, Jessica, Jack, Rory and Erin. Great-grandfather of Brianna and Shawna. Dad began his working career at the Board of the Toronto Stock Exchange at age 19, ultimately becoming a stock broker for Bongard & Co. (BMO Nesbitt Burns) for 42 years. A lifelong baseball fan, he could still recite stats and players names from years gone by up until a week before his passing. A kind and thoughtful man who would give the clothes off his back if he thought that it would help you. May it comfort all to know that he left us feeling contented and peaceful. We would like to extend appreciation and heartful thanks to the doctors and nurses at Sunnybrook and Toronto Grace Hospitals for their care and compassion and to the staff at 921 Millwood. The family will receive friends from one o�clock on Saturday, June 24, 2006 in ST. CUTHBERT�S ANGLICAN CHURCH, 1399 Bayview Avenue for a memorial service at two o�clock. In lieu of flowers, donations in Hugh�s memory may be made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Ontario, 1920 Yonge Street, 4th Floor, Toronto M4S 3E2 or to the Scott Mission, 502 Spadina Avenue, Toronto, Ontario M5S 2H1.
