Christopher GROUNDS

Christopher (Chris) Grounds passed away suddenly but peacefully on May 20, 2024 at his home in Burlington at the age of 86. He was the loving husband of the late Janet, the proud father of Fiona (Scott), Annalie (Todd) and Vanessa (Michael), the adoring grandfather of Mark (Michelle), Andrea (Greg), Kyle, Vicky (Zack), Brett (Hannah), Jeff (Kate-Lynn), Ian, Julia and Alison (Theo) and the delighted great-grandfather of Nolan, Myles, Ben and Gemma. Chris was born in Birmingham, England and immigrated, with Janet, to Canada in 1966. He made his living as a cartographer, but his true vocation was a choral singer with the Festival Singers and the Toronto Mendelssohn Choir. Chris was the author of frequent letters to the editor of the Globe and Mail, an avid Jeopardy watcher, a voracious reader, a fan of the Blue Jays and the Raptors and a lover of all pets. His biggest joy was his family of whom he was incredibly proud. Cremation has taken place. A celebration of life will take place at a later date.
