James Gordon TABRETT

TABRETT, James Gordon. Peacefully, at the Credit Valley Hospital, Mississauga, on Tuesday August 24, 1999, loving husband for over half a century of Winn (Black), and father of Wendy (Dave Asher) of Whistler, B.C., Jim (Jody West) of Gabriola Island, B.C. and loving Grandpa of Mark Ambreau (The Kid). Gordon was born in Montreal, 21st May 1925, the younger son of James Tabrett and his wife Mona-Belle Snodgrass. He served briefly in the Canadian Army during W.W.II and for many years was associated with The Highland Cadets of Montreal and Lachute, Que., and later with the 37th Field Regiment, Royal Canadian Artillery (Militia). Gordon was a long time member of Lachute (Que. #70) Branch, Royal Canadian Legion; the Artillery Officer's Association of Montreal; the Hillside Armouries Officer's Mess; and was active in the Rotary Club, having first joined the Brownsburg - Lachute Club in 1950 and after an absence of many years, joined the Mississauga - Dixie Club in 1984, and was made a Paul Harris Fellow by that Club. He was recently predeceased by his brother John (Evelyn) of Lachine, and survived by his many "favourite Sister's-In-Law" and their spouses, and nieces and nephews too numerous to mention - all of whom he loved dearly. There will be no visitation. A Celebration of his life will be held at the Streetsville United Church, 274 Queen Street, South, Streetsville on Saturday August 28, 1999 at 11 a.m. Flowers gratefully declined, but donations may be made to the Streetsville United Church or the Oncology Department of the Credit Valley Hospital.
