 Clifford "Cliff" Wakeford [I31571]Geboren ± 1917, overleden ± 1970 Canada, leeftijd ongeveer 53 jaar. Woonplaats: Canada On October 1, 2005, in his 89th year, Clifford Wakeford passed away peacefully at home in the presence of his beloved wife of 61 years Vivian (Maheral) and his family. Pre-deceased by parents Almina Victoria Brittain and Herbert Wakeford, his siblings Evelyn (Stanley Hewitt), Hilda (Sam Bye), Marie and Harold (Hazel). He was cherished and loving father to Bryan (Ruth), Donna (John Hill), Dianne (John Rivers) and Brent (Stacy). He will be forever missed by his grandchildren Jason (Leigh-Anne), Theresa (Robert Breton) and Sheryl Rivers, Amanda, Amy and Christina Hill and Daniel and Philip Wakeford. He will be remembered as a caring great-grandfather to Tyler Rivers. Dear and close uncle to Beatrice and Emerson Timm and Virginia and Marcel Proulx. Cliff was raised in the farming community of Thornloe, Ontario where his family farmed and operated the postal service in the area. He was a long-time resident of Ottawa, arriving during the Second World War as a volunteer in the Canadian Army. He served proudly in the Canadian Postal Corps during the war. Upon leaving the army Cliff accepted the opportunity to build a house under the Veterans Land Act in the Carleton Heights area of Ottawa. There, he and Vivian raised their family and participated actively in the community. He was especially active in coaching amateur hockey teams in the Carleton Heights Minor Hockey League for almost two decades. He strongly believed that participation in team sport moulded adolescents into strong and responsible adults. He was also an active volunteer in his local church community of St. Augustine's Parish for many years. After serving over thirty years as an employee in the Department of National Defence, Cliff retired in 1983 and enjoyed a long active retirement. He and Vivian spent many afternoons at the RA Centre perfecting ballroom dancing and assisting with organizing events for the Senior's club. The family would like to thank the many Health Care Professionals who assisted with Cliff's care, treatment and support the past few years particularly Nazmoon Abdool and Loretta Kettles. Grateful thanks extended to Dr. P. David Stewart for his care and to Father Vincent Pereira for his spiritual support.
