January 8, 1938 - November 26, 2024
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our Dad, Harold Peckham, on November 26th surrounded by family.
Reunited with his love Irene (nee Grigg). Devoted father to Heather Beatty (Mike), Pam Hill (Larry) and Melissa Morden (Andrew). Incredibly proud grandfather to Ryan (Laura), Sam, Joe, and Matthew. Predeceased by parents Vernon and Illah Peckham (nee Carver), father & mother-in-law Gordon and Elizabeth Grigg, and his dear granddaughter Kendyl.
Harold found joy helping others, serving as a volunteer Firefighter and working with the St. John Ambulance services. A small motor mechanic at heart, Harold had a deep love and appreciation for classic cars. Harold always had many stories to share, and tidbits of wisdom. The family would like to express their heartfelt gratitude to Dr. Ho and the entire team on C5 at Soldier's Memorial Hospital for their compassionate care and support; and to all of the staff at the Birchmere Retirement Residence for being so kind and welcoming to Dad, even though his stay was only a short while. As per Harold's wishes, cremation has taken place.
A Celebration of Harold's Life will be held at Mundell Funeral Home, 79 West Street North, Orillia, on Sunday, December 1st at 1 pm. with a reception to follow. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that memorial donations be made to Soldier's Memorial Hospital. Donations can be made through Mundell Funeral Home at 705-325-2231.
