BRISBIN,
Charles
Born in Holden, Alberta on February 1, 1918
son of the late Charles
Nelson BRISBIN and Mary Elizabeth (née
KENNEDY)
Charles passed
away peacefully on March 16th, 2006 in Waterloo in his 89th year.
Loving husband of 58 years to Doreen (née
OCKENDEN.)
Father of
Brian (Kathleen), Katherine (Anthony) and Ritchard (Sheefra).
Grandfather to Raef, Rhys, Chase, Christopher, Peter, Iain, Toby,
Calla, Michael, Montana, Shelby and Wilder. Charles will be remembered
for being an articulate champion of the English language, for
his passion for clocks and books and for his love of the sea
and sailing. After Charles returned from World War 2 as a Lieutenant
in the Royal Artillery he briefly pursued engineering at the
University of Alberta before a love for language and books lead
him to a career in library science. It was this love that led
to his appointment to Chief Librarian for the City of Waterloo
followed by Chief Librarian of the City of Hamilton where he
oversaw the development of the South Central Regional Library
System of Southern Ontario. At Charles' request there will be
no service. A celebration of his life will take place at a later
date. If desired, in lieu of flowers donations should be made
to the ABC Canadian Literacy Foundation. Friends may send condolences
via cards or to dabrisbin@sympatico.ca
