James Vernon Holt
Wednesday, December 11th, 1929 – Monday, September 21st, 2020
It is with sadness that we announce the passing of Vernon at Woodland Villa, Long Sault, Ontario after many challenging health issues. He was predeceased by his mother May Holt and his father Rex Holt and his loving wife Lillian. He will be greatly missed by his sister Barbara Brown (Edgar) and his 2 nieces Linda (Steve) and Carolyn (Mike).
Originally from Montreal, Lillian and Vernon moved to Cornwall in 1987. As a young man he was very involved in Sea Cadets winning a scholarship to attend the Naval Academy in B.C. which was not to be. He worked at Domtar as a Systems Analyst, then Empire Maintenance as Vice President, and Elgistan in Cornwall as Treasurer. After taking care of Lillian for a number of years he volunteered his services to CNETS Neuroendocrine Tumour Society as its Treasurer. He also became involved with the Cornwall Skating Club as its Treasurer.
A life well lived with Lillian and himself with many vacations and celebrations with friends in their younger years.
We wish to thank Sandra and Jeff for their loving care over many years, also Marlene, John, Russ and Coleen, and Peter all of whom were a large part of his life, the gang at Harv’s Diner who treated Vernon and Lillian like family, and the staff at Woodland Villa for their special care.
Cremation has taken place with celebration of his life to be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to CNETS Canada, 333 Pitt Street, Suite 102, Cornwall, ON K6J 3R1 or online at www.cnets.ca. Online condolences may be made at: www.wilsonfuneralhome.ca
