In Celebration of

John Hamilton Gray

March 17, 1931 - January 26, 2020

Passed away peacefully surrounded by family and friends at the Lakeshore General Hospital.

Beloved husband of Yolande Martin and loving father to Taylor (Tricia), grandfather to Kathryn (Colin), Jessica (Chris) and great-grandson Jack, and his daughter Susan (Dan Levert).

He will be sorely missed by Yolande’s children Michael (Susan) and their children Andrew and Danielle and Peter (Karen) and their children Charles and Julia.

The family is very grateful to the staff at La Selection Retraite in Pointe Claire and the Doctors and staff at the hospital.

For those that knew him, why not take the time to have a private moment to visit your memories and to say good-bye to John, as you remember him.

There will be a celebration of life at a later time.

A very special friend over the years that he came to visit us at Silver Star. Many special moments and even more special laughs shared. I'll miss him 😢

Yolande and family...I am so sorry for your loss. I didn't know John for very long but I was very fond of him and enjoyed his visits in my office at the Vance Creek Hotel. He was kind and funny and always had a story to share. And I think that he secretly knew how to work his laptop but just enjoyed visiting us in the office. I will remember him fondly!

Dear Sue, Taylor and your Families,
Moe and I are very sorry for your loss, and our thoughts are with you during this sad time. I will always remember your Dad as a man who always had a smile and something nice to say whenever I saw him.

I first encountered John and Yolande in the Craigellachie Dining Room in the Putnam Station Inn many years ago.

Over the years they would plan extended visits to Silver Star, annually, for their winter ski vacation - often coming twice in some ski years

Their children and grandchildren would join them at Silver Star during their stays. Even when a time came when John could no longer ski; they continued to observe their regular Silver Star Vacations.

I’ll miss John Gray. 😢

Mr Gray was more than a truck dealer owner. Special relation together. Like a second father, always worrying for us. Sympathy to Mrs Martin, Susan And Taylor ( still remember few weeks working together ).
