Trevor Jones PRICE

1922 - 2022

TREVOR JONES PRICE May 13, 1922 - March 3, 2022 After a life well lived, Trevor passed away in his 100th year on March 3, 2022. Trevor immigrated to Canada from England when George Drew, the then Premier of Ontario, instigated the post war immigration to Ontario from 1947 to 1949, by setting up offices through out the United Kingdom and initiating cheap charter flights to bring an estimated 20,000 British immigrants to the province in what has been called the world's first mass migration by air. Trevor took the bait and landed in Malton on January 12, 1949. Soon, Trevor found a job at AVRO Canada and spent thirty-five years in the aircraft industry in Malton retiring from Hawker Siddeley Canada Ltd. in 1985. Since a teenager, Trevor has kept a diary of happenings in his life and the world well into his 90s. Before coming to Canada he wrote about playing football (soccer) and cricket, and playing bridge with a neighbour family and listed the many books he read. Trevor joined the British Navy on his 19th birthday and served during World War II, including D-Day, until September of 1946 as a telegraphist. When at sea he learned to play cribbage (and smoke) and solve the London Times cryptic crossword puzzles. After immigrating to Canada he played golf, curled, cross-country skied, played a lot of scrabble and cribbage and "set" cryptic crossword puzzles for his family and friends to solve. He also spent a lot of hours walking and for a time was caretaker of a section of the Bruce Trail. Trevor leaves his wife Ann (nee Fieldhouse), son Bob and wife Anne and grandchildren Rebecca, Trevor and Eric, of Potomac Maryland; daughter Nancy-Jane and husband Joe Wray of Port Credit; step-son James Dalziel and wife Nancy Fairburn and grandchildren children Claire and William of Bangkok Thailand; his sisters-in-law Bernice Codd and Gladys Fieldhouse. Trevor was predeceased by his wife Mary Paterson of Toronto in 1974, also his sister Betty, brother Tom, and sister Nancy all of England; and his brothers-in-law Donald Fieldhouse and Bruce Fieldhouse, and sister-in-law Annie Fieldhouse. Special thanks to our PSW Ivy Medalla for her faithful attention to Trevor over the past four years. Also thanks to our niece Lynn Codd who has always been here for us. Trevor will be missed by his many nieces and nephews and friends in both in Canada and Britain. The funeral service will be held on Saturday, June 25th. Donations in memory of Trevor may be made to St. John's United Church, 56 Victoria Street E., Alliston Ontario L9R 1L5. Arrangements entrusted to Drury's Funeral Centre, Alliston.
