Notes:

DUNKLEY, REV. GEORGE A. C. Mus.Bac., M.Mus., A.R.C.T., F.T.C.L. October 24, 1938 ? November 10, 2018 Of Mississauga, Ontario, passed peacefully into the arms of his Lord in the early morning of Saturday, November 10, 2018, after a difficult struggle with pancreatic cancer, which, even in the last few months of his life, did not diminish his zeal for helping others in their times of need. He was born in Toronto and lived in his early years on Oakwood Avenue, not far from where his father, Albert Wesley Dunkley, had been a vice-principal and teacher at Oakwood Collegiate and where his mother, Gladys Elizabeth Comba, encouraged his budding interest as a musician. He was happily married for 57 years to Dr. Colleen Rose Dunstan, who was able to care for him during his last few weeks in their new residence in Mississauga, near St. Peter's Anglican Erindale Church, where he was an associate priest, with a particular ministry visiting the sick and the dying. They were the proud parents of three marvelous sons: George Gregory (granddaughter Codi-Lyn and grandson Christian); Derek John (wife Wendy Pak and granddaughters Adela and Sierra); and David Michael (wife Caminee Blake and granddaughters Sahana and Sitara). Cremation has taken place. A Celebration of Life will be held at St. Peter's Anglican Erindale Church, 3041 Mississauga Rd., on Friday, December 7, 2018, at 1 p.m. with a reception to follow at St. Peter's Anglican Erindale Church. The family requests that persons wishing to remember George in a special way do so by donating to the refugee family fund at St Peter's Erindale Anglican Church and/or to a charity of their choice, in George's memory.
