HUGH LEYS COULSON 1940 - 2022 It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Hugh Coulson on March 17. Hugh left this world peacefully, surrounded by his family, at his home in Campbellford, ON. He will be forever missed by his beloved wife of 45 years, Anne; his children David, Carey, Peter, Daphne (deceased), Shoshannah, Douglas and Robin; his many grandchildren along with his brothers Jock (deceased), Gordon and his sisters Panny, Vickie and Jill. Hugh was with man of many interests. He started his working life as a stockbroker in Montreal, later moving to Toronto where he became a well-known and much loved figure on Bay Street. He then ventured into the mining industry where he spent four eventful years prospecting in the Thunder Bay / Nipigon area. His semi-retirement years were enjoyed at the farm in Campbellford where he could often be seen riding through the fields on his tractors or hosting his "men only" Sunday NFL parties at the Barn. Hugh also opened a real estate firm and, for a time, served as a member of the local Rotary Club. Over his long and active life, Hugh participated in many sports including skiing, flying, marathons, squash, handball and golf. He was an honorary member of the Cambridge Club of Toronto, Montreal Racquet Club and Nicholson Island Shooting Club. Hugh and Anne have enjoyed 21 winters at the Lost City Golf Club in Atlantis, FL. Hugh had a most unpretentious and affable nature. He was a generous and kind man which earned him many enduring friendships. Your family and friends thank you Hugh for being you; we will all treasure our memories forever. A private family service to celebrate Hugh's life will be held, with interment to follow at Mount Pleasant Cemetery, Toronto, in the early Summer. In lieu of flowers, for those who wish, a donation may be made to Hugh's favorite charity, The Salvation Army. Memories, stories and condolences can be shared online at www.weaverfuneralhomes.com
