Obituary of Orval Glen Bolton

BOLTON: Orval Glen Passed away peacefully, surrounded by his family at Extendicare, Lakefield on Saturday March 26, 2016. Orval Bolton of Burleigh Falls in his 92nd year. Orval was a flawless storyteller, and though not a highly educated man, there were none more learned and wiser when it came to the important things in life, such as family, hard work and respecting nature and our surroundings. Although life gave Orval many challenges, he faced them with no complaints and happily carried on. He was a deep lover of music and will be remembered by many for his excellent workmanship as a stonemason and carpenter. Loved and missed by his wife of 67 years, Grace Bolton (Menzies). Also sadly missed by his children Marion Crowe (Steve) of Burleigh Falls, Brenda Corner (Gord) of Douro, David Bolton (Lil Raposo) of Burleigh Falls, Carol Shewen (Grant) of Woodview and by his daughter-in-law Darlene Bolton of Big Cedar. Bompa and Bompie is remembered by Erin (Sam), Ben (Beth), Holly (Chris), Jeremy (Christine), Norman, Anson (Elisabeth), Eric (Brittany), Connor, Ryan (Laura), Ian (Kelsey), Carly and Lucas (Jasmine).
