Duane Gary Block

The family shares, with deep sorrow, the news of Duane Block's passing.

Duane was known for his kindness, quiet strength, and dry sense of humour. So dry, in fact, that sometimes he had to explain the jokes…

A stalwart husband to Cathy, devoted father to Gary, Dennis (Morgan), and Colin, and treasured Papa to Chloe and Vivian, Duane will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him. He is also survived by his sister, Linda Penner. Duane was predeceased by his parents, Sam and Edna, and his sister, Donna Muir.

Please join us for a casual afternoon gathering to share memories and celebrate Duane’s life. Drop in anytime after 2 p.m.; a tribute will be held at 3 p.m.
