BRUNTON, Leonard Douglas
Passed away in his 82nd year on Monday, February 28, 2005 at the Carpenter Hospice, Burlington, Ontario following a lengthy battle with cancer. He is survived by his wife Jean, son Tim (Sharon) and daughters Lee Anne (Scott) and Kim (Dave). His grandchildren include Lauren, Jaclyn, Ashley, Carly, Hayley, Nicole, Joshua and Sydney. Also mourning the loss are his brothers Lorne (Dorothy) of Sarnia and Don (Pat) of Whitby. Len will be greatly missed by his many business associates and friends in the community and throughout the world. His great passion and love in life was working and the associated travelling. He truly believed that it was a great privilege to work and all people should view work in this manner. Len has now started on his last and greatest journey. His bags have been packed for sometime along with his briefcase. We wish him every joy and happiness as he travels to the great beyond and success in new business ventures. The family would like to express sincere appreciation to so many wonderful people who aided Len throughout a very difficult two years. Drs Salter and Rahimpour`s care and compassion was ever present and always available. Dr. Michael King and the oncology staff at the Trillium Hospital (Mississauga) had the wonderful ability to make every patient feel he was special, and he was, by the immediacy and quality of care received. The sensitivity to the patient`s pain, shown by the radiation staff of 2B - unit 14 at the Princess Margaret Hospital was deeply appreciated. Finally, words cannot express the gratitude and admiration for all the staff and volunteers at the Carpenter Hospice - they truly made Len`s final days as meaningful as possible.
According to his wishes, Len will be cremated. A reception to honour his memory will be held on Friday, March 4, 2005 between 3-5 p.m. at SMITH`S FUNERAL HOME 1167 Guelph Line, (one stoplight north of QEW) BURLINGTON (905-632-3333). A private funeral service will be held later at the time of interment. If desired, charitable donations to the Carpenter Hospice, the Canadian Cancer Society or the Princess Margaret Hospital would be greatly appreciated.
