Ian BARNETT Obituary

IAN HAWORTH BARNETT December 27, 1922 - February 23, 2020 Ian passed away peacefully in his 98th year. Loving husband of Joan Evelyn (Lyn) Kimp predeceased. Beloved father of Malcolm (Lesley) Sharman (David), Leigh (Rob), Hilary, Neil and Jill (Kevin). Wonderful grandfather to Georgina, Sarah, Ian, Katie, Michael, Nick, Alex, Amy, John, Kimberley and Jennifer. Great-grandfather to Ian and Bennett. He is predeceased by his brother Nigel and former wife Daphne Wheeler. Educated at Bancroft's school, Ian joined the RAF and flew in WWII. He later joined the Metropolitan Police in London. After immigrating to Canada in 1954, he worked on the Avro Arrow until Black Friday, developed a successful tele- communications business and worked at the Ministries of Immigration, and Veterans Affairs. Ian and Lyn had wonderful travels together. Ian enjoyed playing golf, a very dry martini and building model trains with his grandchildren. He will be remembered as a true gentleman with a wonderful sense of humour. Thank you to the staff at Amica Erin Mills for their care and to Palliative Staff at LHIN for their assistance. At Ian's request no service will be held.

I am so sorry for your loss. For some reason I just felt I need to know what happened with Ian. He was a wonderful man. Worked with him at Canadian design services.

Ian & I shared the same birthday of December 27th. He was always positive and upbeat when we talked; we had so many good laughs. What really impressed me was his embracing the computer when few, if any, of his age bracket would consider learning how to use the technology. When he gave up driving his car and downsized to a scutter, he would have me stitches describing how took the corners! He was an amazing fellow and it was a real privilege to have know him. My deepest heart-felt sympathy to his family.
