Walker,
Aurion James

June 11, 1926, to August 13, 2019

Aurion James Walker, loving husband of the late Gertrude Walker, was born in Haileybury, Ontario on June 11^th, 1926, the oldest child of Eleanor (McCool) and James Walker.  Aurion is predeceased by daughter Wendy (James Archer) and Brian, and is survived by son Stephen (Lynn) and son-in-law James Archer (Heather Gwynne-Timothy) and grandchildren Jennifer Murphy (Colin), Kaitlyn Roberts (Dan), Robyn Walker, Keirsten Clarke (Ben), Robert Archer, Emily Hollis (Brendan), and Kathleen Archer (Dave Maillet).  Loved by his great grandchildren Ethan, Anna, Noah, Lena, Macie, Madeleine, Poppy, Olivia and Alex.  Aurion is predeceased by siblings Mary (late Jerry) Burton, Dorothea (late Victor) Flemming, Mildred (Alan) Kurtz, Peter (Tina), Richard (Mary Ann) and Alice Louise, and survived by his brother Alexander (Margaret), and sisters Edna (late Eugene) Wilson, Kathleen (late Murray) Boyd and Gabrielle (late Peter Wilson).

Aurion, known to his friends as Jim, had an enriching career in the mineral exploration field, following in the footsteps of his father and maternal grandfather.  Subsequent to his term in the military, Jim began to pursue his passion for mineral exploration.  In 1947, Jim graduated from the Haileybury School of Mines, and advanced his career with several prominent mining companies.  One of the many highlights of his career were his four summers in the Yukon, and his passion for the Yukon remained with him into his later years.

In 1968, Jim started his own firm, Walker Exploration Limited, which was very successful.  Having received his P.Eng, Jim received his iron ring alongside his son Stephen in 1978 at Queen’s University in Kingston.  An active member of the Prospectors and Developers Association since 1951, Jim served as President from 1975 to 1977.  Jim received an Honourary Member Award and in 1998, he received the Distinguished Service Award.  In 2013, Jim received the Queen’s Jubilee Medal in recognition of his lifetime commitment to the mining industry in Canada.

Jim will be remembered by family and friends for his generosity, his respect for others, and his sense of humour.

There will be a mass celebrating Aurion’s life at St. Christopher’s Roman Catholic Church at 1171 Clarkson Road N in Mississauga, Ontario on Tuesday August 20^th, 2019 at 10:30 AM.  In lieu of flowers, donations to the Almonte General Hospital, or a charity that holds a special place in your heart would be appreciated.

Personal Touch – This quote hung in Pat’s laundry room for decades:

“To laugh often and love much; to win the respect of intelligent persons and the affection of children; to earn the approbation of honest citizens and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to give of one’s self; to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to have played and laughed with enthusiasm and sung with exultation; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived – this is to have succeeded.”

Seaman, Anne Marie “Marie”

Sunrise March 23rd, 1928 – Sunset October 5th 2019

Our dear sweet mother has gone home to be with God.  She lived a happy, full and productive life. She was predeceased by her loving husband, Ernest Alvin Seaman “Al”.  She will be missed by Duncan (Marsha), Janet Stanley (Glenn), Donald (Marie Claude), Sandra MacKenzie (Ryan), and Wendy Chaytor (Mike).  Mom was proud of her eight grandchildren and loved them dearly: Emily, Scott, Alexandre, Melanie, Ilsa, Richard, Walter and Charles.

Mom was a lady of great faith, very giving and a life-long volunteer.  In 1992, she was awarded the 125th Anniversary of Confederation of Canada Medal for her volunteer work.  She also received the Ontario Medal for Good Citizenship in 1993. These honours were bestowed in recognition of her extensive work in community building through many years on the Almonte and Area Committee for Continuing Learning and the Almonte Community Development Corporation (now Carebridge Community Support). She worked diligently on affordable housing for families, seniors and people with disabilities. Projects accomplished include the Almonte Day Care Centre, the St. James Street Project, Norton Street Townhouses, Town & Country Apartments, the Maude Street Townhouses as well as two group homes.  She was a member of the Almonte and District Arts Council, Catholic Women’s League, parish council at Holy Name of Mary Parish, and St. Vincent de Paul Society.

Mom had many interests including camping and kayaking, stained glass, painting, sewing, starting many small businesses, giving us life lessons and even teaching courses on subjects she knew nothing about (4H Learn to Bake Bread course).  She encouraged us to follow her creative example by allowing multiple projects to cover every surface in our home!

She gave us the best gift a mother could, a strong family of five siblings who love each other and are best friends.

Our thanks go to the caring staff at Hazeldean Gardens Retirement Residence in Stittsville.

10 years too soon we lost our heart of gold

He was a gentle soul, so the story is told

He turned the soil and planted the seed

And he was always there for those in need

He made us laugh until we cried

He had the strength to turn the tide

Your legacy lives on my father dear
with those who hold you forever near

Oh how different life would be
If you were still here walking next to me

Forever loved!

Don worked at numerous technical jobs in the UK, living in Reading and Crawley prior to emigrating to Canada with his wife and children in 1966. He found work as a project manager and professional engineer specializing in electronics, working for a number of companies in Ottawa and Montreal, most recently Bell-Northern Research, from which he retired in 1991. Don was central to many projects, but his proudest contribution was helping develop the controls for the Canadarm whilst he was working for CAE.

Following retirement, Don and Daphne founded and for many years ran Rhapsody Rounds, an extremely successful Choreographed Ballroom dance club in the Ottawa area. Don was a keen photographer and particularly enjoyed photographing birds and all aspects of nature, including the wonderful gardens he and Daphne developed on their property on Upper Dwyer Hill Road, where they lived for many happy years. Don was a kind and loving man, a true gentleman, and he will be sadly missed by all who knew him.
