ERIC MALCOLM DYMOND


Family man, artist, professor, nature lover and humourist died in his sleep on Wednesday October 7, 2015 ,at the age of 64. Inspiring father to Chris (Wendy), Erica, Graeme (Jesslyn). Adored 'Pappy' to Audrey and Desmond. Loyal brother of Jan (Romy), Pat (Gary). Goofy uncle of Heather (Harry). Childhood spent with long-time friends from Etobicoke and Kipling Collegiate. Proud graduate of NSCAD (class of '75), he will be long remembered for his still life work displayed across North America, his trailblazing contributions to both the genesis of rhizome.org and the digital media community at large. A professor beloved by both colleagues and by thousands of fine arts and I.T. students at Humber College for nearly 40 years. He taught true understanding over memorization. He lived life with an enduring passion, which he passed on to the Swansea community at Rennie Rink, the rec centre and Bloor West as a whole. The inspiring Ontario landscape gave him peace of mind and a doorway to creative possibilities. He was particularly fond of Belfountain and Toronto's High Park, which he enjoyed with his family and close friends whom he cherished deeply. Friends may call at the Turner & Porter Yorke Chapel, 2357 Bloor St. W., at Windermere, east of the Jane Subway on Monday from 6:00 - 9:00 p.m. Funeral Service will be held in the Chapel on Tuesday, October 13, 2015, at 3:30 p.m. If desired, remembrances may be made to Crohn's and Colitis Canada.
