  • Notes 
    • NIXON, Charlie - Peacefully at Parkwood Hospital, London on Thursday, July 19, 2007; Charles Owen Nixon former longtime resident of Ayr, in his 91st year. Beloved husband of the late Kathleen Blakey (2004); dear father of Kathleen (Liz) and husband David R. Bates of London, and Charles Nixon (Lori) of Guelph; grandfather of Meredith and Emily Nixon. Also dearly missed by his extended family. Predeceased by daughter, Patricia Ann (1962); brother, Edward (2004), and sisters, Jane Beattie (1994) and Patricia Alpine (2004). Charlie was very proud of his 50-year Gold membership in the Brick Layer and Stone Mason Union; served overseas during the Second World War with the 5th Division Signals Corps; very involved in the Scouting movement before and after the war; proud member of the Ontario Archaeology Association; an environmentalist; a conservationist; and a longtime devoted member of Christ Anglican Church, Ayr. In the past few years, he had taken up watercolour painting. Friends will be received at the Ayr Chapel, Wm. Kipp Funeral Home , 183 Northumberland Street, Ayr on Sunday from 2-4 and 7-9 p.m. Funeral service will be held at Christ Anglican Church, Manley Street, Ayr on Monday, July 23 at 2 p.m. Reverend France Ouimet-Wilson officiating. Donations in Charlie's memory may be made to the Christ Anglican Church, K-W Food Bank or Amnesty International. Online condolences or donations may be arranged through www.wmkippfuneralhome.com or by contacting Wm. Kipp, 519-442-3061. Many knew the man - few remember the boy! He gave what he had - giving was indeed his joy. Hard work and simple pleasures, but there was always a smile. To find a better man one will have to walk many a long mile. Charlie - you will be greatly missed.
