FERRIS,
Francis
Grant
(October 31, 1940-December 23, 2007)
Passed away on Sunday December 23, 2007 at the Saugeen Memorial
Hospital in Southampton. Francis (Grant) of Port Elgin was in
his 68th year. Grant was an enthusiastic outdoorsman who worked
diligently over his lifetime to protect and preserve the environment.
One of his great loves was fishing on the Saugeen River where
his motto was “catch and release”. Another love was motorcycles,
and he spent many happy days riding his Gold Wing along county
roads with his motorcycle buddies from Guelph. He was a proud
member of the Grey Bruce Motorcycle Touring Club, Outdoor Writers
of Canada, the Sydenham Sportsman Association, Ontario Federation
of Anglers and Hunters, Lake Huron Fishing Club, Friends of MacGregor
Point Provincial Park, Blue Ridge Sportman's Club, Ducks Unlimited,
National Wild Turkey Federation, co-founder and writer for the
Grey/Bruce Outdoors Webpage, and many others. But his greatest
love was for his family. He will be forever missed by his wife
of 38 years, Gloria
(FARYON,) and his children Frank, Russ (Manie)
of Milton, Lara
INNEO
(Vito) of Guelph, and Alyssa (Shawn
MacPHERSON)
of Cambridge. He was a proud and loving Papa to Olyvia
INNEO
and Talia FERRIS. He is also survived by his dear sisters Dianne
DOEKES
(Charles) and Donna
WARNER (Ralph,) nephews Lee and Steve
COWTAN, Daryl
WARNER, and nieces Cheryl
KLIMM and Jen
WARNER.
Also surviving are the many lifelong Friends he loved as brothers
and sisters. He truly cherished them. Grant was predeceased by
his parents Frank Cyril
FERRIS and Olive Ada
COLLINGRIDGE, and
also an infant daughter, Jessica. Cremation has taken place and
a private committal will take place at Woodland Cemetery, Guelph,
at a later date. If anyone wishes, donations can be made to any
of the environmental groups listed above (cards available at
the funeral home 519-822-4731 or send condolences at www.gilbertmacintyreandson.com).
A battle bravely fought, a sense of humour that never quit, and
a story for every occasion. Ride free now, Grant.
