Colin WILLIAMS Obituary

COLIN J. WILLIAMS Colin passed away peacefully, on March 5, 2018 at the Brockville General Hospital at the age of 93. He will be dearly missed by his wife, Ruth Williams; his sons, Edward (aka Ted) and Gordon, and their spouses, Marta and Marie-Claude; and his grandchildren, Colin, Elin, Laura, and Stephanie. He was predeceased by his brothers, Peter and Alec. He will also be missed by his other relatives in Canada, England, and Romania; and numerous friends. All will remember this English gentleman as an engaged individual that always had a sparkle in his eyes. Colin was clearly fiscally conservative and socially progressive, interested in social justice, a better health care system, and education for all. This computer pioneer and entrepreneur continued to share this passion all his life. For Colin, having a good time also meant traveling, hiking, sailing, running a boy scout troop and being a pain to politicians at all levels of government. In lieu of flowers, donations in Colin's memory to one of the following charities would be appreciated: TVO, the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives, or The Council of Canadians. In addition, you can send condolences or share special thoughts online at barclayfuneralhome.com. A reception for friends and family in Colin's honour will take place at the Brockville Country Club on April 22, 2018, from 2 to 4 p.m.
