He is survived by his widow, Catherine Shaughnessy, and four  children, Charles, Joan, Michael and Paul. Also surviving are two sisters, Mrs. H.J. Lawrence and Mrs. H. Rose of Toronto.

The funeral will be held from the H.L. Cudney funeral chapel, 241 West Main street, on Wednesday, January 8, at 8.30 a.m., to St Mary’s church for requiem mass at 9 o’clock. Interment will be in St Francis De Salle cemetery, Pickering.
