She is predeceased by her loving husband Gordon Leonard 'Len" Irvine (2010). Kaethe's memory will be forever treasured by her three daughters Karin Fradgley (and Roger), Henny Fleischer, Rosemarie Fleischer (and Dan Dufour), and fondly remembered as "Oma" by her many grandchildren and great- grandchildren, and as "Tante Kaethe" by her nieces and nephews. She is also remembered by Len's family, Maureen Irvine (and Paul Bose), Jennifer Dodd and their families. Born a twin to her brother Johannes Looman, in Germany in 1928, Kaethe and her family bravely endured the hardships of WW11. Soon after the war ended, she trained as a watchmaker at the prestigious A. Lange & Sohne School in Glasshutte in East Germany during the school's last years of operation. Escaping to West Germany in 1949, Kaethe married her first husband Eugen Fleischer in 1953 and with their two girls Karin and Henny, they courageously immigrated to Canada in 1956, where they initially settled in Montreal, had a their third daughter Rosemarie and later moved to Burlington, Ontario. Kaethe worked as a watchmaker, raised her family, and enjoyed gardening, cross- country skiing, and camping. In 1973, Kaethe met Len who introduced her to sailing. Together they and their beloved dogs and boat "Woodwind" spent the next four decades sailing and enjoying retirement in their gingerbread house by Lake Ontario in Oakville. Kaethe's kind, adventurous, courageous spirit will be deeply missed by family and friends. The family wishes to thank the staff of Churchill Place in Oakville, and Thistlecreek Health Care for their loving support and exemplary care during her last 4 years. A private family internment will take place later when Kaethe's ashes will be laid to rest with her husband's, Len Irvine at St. Jude's Anglican Church in Oakville, Ontario. MILLEY, Robert (Bob) Percy November 24, 1937 - July 15, 2020 ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ With profound sadness we announce the passing of Robert (Bob) Milley at Joseph Brant Hospital on July 15, 2020, following a brief illness. Bob was born November 24, 1937, in Burnhamthorpe Village, Ontario. In 1959 he married his one true love, Margaret Anne Newton, and they raised five children. Bob was a pilot in the Royal Canadian Air Force, and later pursued his passion for many business ventures. Eventually he became a financial planner, retiring in 2007. In retirement, Bob pursued his love of woodworking, gardening, golfing, and hosting many family celebrations. In his later years, Bob offered his expertise to the retirement community of Tansley Woods, where he engaged many residents in the woodshop which he managed, and he served as chairperson of the Resident's Council. Above all, he was deeply devoted to his family and loving wife. Bob is survived by his wife, Anne (nee Newton); children Mary Beth Tucker (Robert), Greg (Margaret), Chris (Sue), Steven (Frances) and Michael (Marc André); grandchildren Peter, Jason, Elizabeth, David, Sean, Ben and Josie; six great grandchildren; brothers Fred (Dorothy) and Ken (Judith) and many dear nieces and nephews.

A special thank you to the staff of the ICU department of Joseph Brant Hospital and to the staff of Tansley Woods. Due to current covid restrictions, a private family service will take place Tuesday, July 21, 1:00 p.m. The family will plan a celebration of Bob's life at a later date.

Mrs. (Hayden) October 24, 1932 - July 8, 2020 ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Shirley Norris (Hayden) passed away in her 88th year on Wednesday July 8th, 2020. She was predeceased by beloved husband of 64 years, Gerry (2017). She will be greatly missed by her children and their spouses, Nancy McLean (Ian), Ken (Kelly), Jennifer Munn (Scott) and grandchildren David (Victoria), William, Simon, Kenneth, Holly, Hayden, Ollie, Abbey and great-granddaughter, Sophia. Mom was kind and funny, laughed a lot from the heart and also at herself, which was truly endearing. Quick with a beautiful smile, Shirley was selfless with a generous soul. She set a very high bar as a spouse, parent, mother-in-law, grandparent as well as friend and sister. Shirley was a beautiful dancer and watching her and Gerry on the dance floor was like watching Fred and Ginger. She made perfect pastry and was both a beautiful knitter and sewer. As a Happy Tapper, she competed with her close friends at The World Tap Championships in Berlin. Shirley was an avid traveler, living in Saudi Arabia for 5 years and was fortunate to travel the world with Gerry. Memorial donations may be made to the Alzheimer Society of Canada.
