LONSDALE, Willis Earl…
Peacefully, in his 93rd year on Tuesday, January 16, 2018. Willis served our country with honour with the Royal Canadian Artillery in Canada, United Kingdom and Continental Europe from January 1944 until May 1946, being awarded the France and Germany Star and Canadian Volunteer Service Medal. He was loving husband to Winnifred “Bunny”. Dear father of Wayne (Liza), Susan Hodgins, Barry (Isobel), Joan Cresswell (Mike) and Linda (John). Much loved grandfather of Sean (Melany), Kevin (Jennifer), Brett (Brooke), Andrea, Jaclyn (Charlie), Graeme (Jessica), Evan (Ashley) and Russell. Treasured great-grandfather of Madison, Maddux, Selena, Caleb, Oliver, Lena and Scarlett. Predeceased by his siblings Norval (Marjorie) and Jean (Res).

Millard George Funeral Home, 60 Ridout Street South, London. The funeral service will be held in the funeral home chapel at 1:00pm. Cremation has taken place.

    My deepest condolences of the passing of a much beloved uncle. Uncle “Woolie” as Heather called him will be sorely missed.
