Peacefully at home in Verona surrounded by his family on April 27, 2020, Winston Middleton in his 80th year. Beloved husband of Jo Ann (Lappen) Middleton of 58 years and loving father of Margo Sortberg (Russell), Lisa Ewart, Lauralee Asselstine, Mary Jo Dowker (Ron), and Mark (Nila). Much loved grandpa of Murray, Spencer, Erica, Katlyn, Allison, Robert, Christine, Jason, Colby, Myles, Zoe, Mia and Logan and great grandpa of Freya. Dear brother of Joyce (Wick) Bauder, and brother-in-law of Ben Lappen and Mary Lou Kirkpatrick, and is predeceased by his parents Wilfred and Gertrude (Veley), his sister Betty Botting and sister-in-law Donna Gail Bryant. Fondly remembered by many nieces and nephews. Winston loved to spend time with his family, was a long time employee of Bell Canada and a member of the Terrible Ten Hunting Camp for many years. The family would like to express their gratitude to PD Nurses Andrea and Angela, the nurses of Saint Elizabeth Health Care with special mention to Gennaro and Kristy, and the Verona Medical Clinic for their care and compassion provided to Winston. In keeping with Winston’s wishes a private graveside service and celebration of life will occur at a later date.
