Sadly missed by his best friend and canine companion Jasper. Vaughan was a lab technologist for 30 years, mostly with Civic Hospital and PRHC. Vaughan was always loving and kind but we all will remember him for his sarcastic sense of humor. He always told it like it is. After retirement, Vaughan joined the Woodturners Guild and served on their board for several years. He forged many long lasting friendships with many members. Vaughan made hundreds of pens and ornaments over the years which many people treasure and remember for the generous man he was. Vaughan and Karen enjoyed many travels over the years. Always the historian and an avid reader. Vaughan had fought this cancer since 2015. Always the positive, courageous warrior. Many thanks to the oncology staff, the palliative care team and the hospice staff as well as Dr. Weir, Dr. W. Meade, Dr. Anjum, and Dr. Mallory. Visitation will take place at Highland Park Funeral Centre on Saturday, February 14th from 11:30 am to 1:00pm followed by a Funeral Service in the Highland Chapel at 1:00pm Canon Brad Smith officiating.
