Bryan Arthur Mote

MOTE, Bryan Arthur - June 27, 1923 - March 15, 2010 Beloved husband of Florence; devoted father of Carol and Linda; cherished grandfather of Sasha and Lucy Dolgy (Qatar), Lauren Mote-Dolgy (Vancouver) and Jake Dolgy (Toronto); great-grandfather of Jack Dolgy; dear brother-in-law of Joan Trotman (Belleville); Vin Griffiths and Mary Osborn (Wednesfield, UK) and loving companion to pets Candy and Baby, passed peacefully this morning in Belleville, Ontario. Bryan will be remembered as an honoured WWII Veteran (RAF), a friend to his countrymen and a gentleman of the highest order. Grandchildren write: he was a great man. A brillant example of what a grandfather should be. Caring, compassionate, strong and funny. Always there for us, never leaving our sides. We know he loved us dearly. We were raised in his image - thoughtful, touching and confident. He will live on inside us forever. Special thanks to the kind and loving staff at Belmont Long Term Care in Belleville. A private family service will be held later this week. Donations to the OSPCA or Humane Society International through Belleville Funeral Home (613-968-5080) in Bryan's name would be most welcome.
