July 4th, 1944 – February 1st, 2023
It is with deep sorrow and much love that we mourn the passing of Eric John Ketchin at the age of 78 years. Eric passed away peacefully surrounded by his family on February 1, 2023 at Hospice Wellington, after a short battle with Mesothelioma. Eric was born in Edinburgh, Scotland on July 4, 1944, and immigrated to Canada with his wife Joyce, and son Neil in 1971.
Eric was a Master Electrician by trade, retiring at the age of 65.
He loved Golf, Darts and Snooker, and volunteered his time at the Streetsville and Acton Legion receiving an Honorary Life time membership for his contributions.
Eric will be fondly remembered by the love of his life Joyce (Kerr), his loving son Neil (Julie) and beloved grandson Andrew. Predeceased by his parents Fred and Jenny, and his brother Ian.
A private family service will be held, followed by a Celebration of Life in the next few months.
In lieu of flowers, donations to Hospice Wellington in Erics name would be greatly appreciated.
Interment will take place at Churchill Cemetery in the spring.
Arrangements entrusted to MacKinnon Family Funeral Home
