Cherished grandfather of Aaron (Christine), Connor, Corinne, Fregine and Piet. Dear brother of Finley (Margaret), Paul (Ruth), and the late John. He will be lovingly remembered by his mother-in-law Viletta Knight and brother-in-law Paul Knight (Judy). Hughie was a proud and grateful member of AA for close to 47 years. In their early married life, Hughie and Pat were members of the Etobicoke Yacht Club and sailed the Chapter V to the 1000 Islands and other Lake Ontario ports. They also spent much time together in his beloved Nova Scotia. Though plagued with serious health problems, necessitating early retirement from I.A.P.A. he remained a positive, happy person who cherished his family and friends, and always enjoyed meeting and talking with people from all walks of life. He enjoyed taking photographs and creating albums, visiting yard sales, watching the wildlife around his home and attending AA meetings.

Please note: I have no connection or further information on this man. I peruse the Toronto Star, and found this, and maybe it will help someone make a connection. Marsha MacKay

Ellen Boutilier was born in Reserve, C.B. c1885 and died 1943. According to her death record (N.S.H.V.S. web site) her parents were Alfred & Christina (McIntosh) Boutilier. Ellen married Neil J. McLean in Sydney (1906 N.S.H.V.S.). Her name is recorded as Christina in the marriage record (possibly a recording error) but her name was given as "Ellen" on the death record for her husband in 1933. Her death is also recorded as "Ellen" in 1943. In the book 'All Call Iona Home' fam. # 535 her name is given as 'Nellie' which is a common name used for Helen or Ellen. Hope this helps.
