We Remember
THORN, Maurice
—
Maurice passed away on May 26, 2020 at the age of 84. He is survived by his daughters Brenda (Larry) and Rhonda (Gary); his grandchildren Jason (Paula), Colin (Riki), Tara (Matt), Brett (Norah) and Blair (Amaris); his five great-grandchildren Shea, Easton, Ryder, Teagan and Kelsey; as well as his sister Lois and brothers Allan, John, Eric, and David along with their families. He was sadly predeceased by his loving wife of 60 years, Peggy, and his twin brothers Ian and Chuck “Clive”.
With a loving warm spirit and wonderful sense of humour, Maurice enjoyed life to the fullest. He was always with a smile and was one of the most kind, gentle and caring men; he will be dearly missed by all.
To the staff at Village at Mill Creek, for the exceptional care and kindness, thank you. The family would also like to thank all those who spent time visiting Maurice.
A private family service will be held at a later date to honour Maurice. If you wish to send a condolence, post photos or share a memory, please scroll down the page to the area called “Condolences”.
Brenda , Rhonda and families – our most sincere condolences to you on your Dad’s passing. Your Mom & Dad were both wonderful people, the best neighbours in the world. It’s a relief to know that Maurice is once again reunited with his sweetheart. Fred & Darlene Finnigan

I am not certain that I can find the words to express my heartfelt feelings… ‘n even if I did.. they will be inadequate…Oh how I cherish the years with my Family Thorn. How blessed I am that I was fortunate to spend quality time with all of you…. ‘n your beloved Father ‘n Mother up to their passing. Your dad ‘n his “Lady” the dog…. the huge weeping willow… us girls playing together… ‘n growing together… I remember all of your dad’s birthdays (March 27th ..same day as brother Butch’s) where I would walk down the hill between our two houses… with a bottle of beer with a bow on top… later years… a beautiful conversation on the telephone….. I shall always cherish these memories…
Life is so precious ‘n death is such a thief…Take time to grieve well… knowing that you are in the hearts ‘n minds of many people who only wish we were able to support you in a more tangible way. I do understand in part …. what you’re going through…. ‘N I know you’re going to miss him immensely.
