Remembering Morley Yon

(Member of the Air Force Association of Canada and the Quarter Century Club of the Ontario Provincial Government)

Passed away peacefully with Mary & Serena by his side on Friday October 13, 2017 in his 97th year. Beloved husband of the late Gladdy Letherby Yon.  Predeceased by his parents Eddie and Catherine Yon, and by his seven siblings- John, Fred, Arthur, Elmer, Darcy, Robert Yon  and Teresa Elliott. Also predeceased by best friends Lorne Letherby and Sandy Adkin.

Morley will be fondly remembered by his companion and caregiver, Mary Sheriff. Also greatly missed by his loyal cat Serena.

Morley was born in Rosemount and schooled in Waubaushene. After a stint in the Air Force during WWII, he continued his education at the University of Toronto as an accountant and statistician, he worked for various firms and later became an Ontario government employee working in the greater Toronto area and in the parliament buildings. Later he worked in Orillia, Gravenhurst and Edgar.

Upon returning to the Coldwater area, he greatly enjoyed his time at Gloucester pool at “Doc” Leatherdale’s cottages as well as at Little Banf in Orr Lake. Most of his retirement was caring for others, gardening; church activities at St. Andrew’s and polished his golden Lincoln town car (a bucket list item)

Morley will be respectfully remembered for his good advice, gentleness, kindness and generosity.
