Obituary of William Frank Vaughn

Vaughn, William Frank - May 1, 1925 - July 6, 2016 It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of William Frank Vaughn at the age of 91. He is survived by his loving wife Shirley (nee George) of 66 years and his sons Bill (Arden), Bob and Brent. He is predeceased by his son Brian (2006). He also leaves behind grandchildren Elizabeth (Dave Hemming), Sarah (Justin Downes), Robert (Pasha Marcynuk) and great-grandchildren Katrina, Anna, Tucker, Chloe and Logan. Bill was a farmer through and through. It was in his blood. He was involved with the dairy industry for the first 45 years of his life where he received numerous awards and honours for dairy production and herdsmanship. He was a grape grower for 70 years and was honoured to be Grape King in 1971. Bill devoted 70 years to the Masonic Order, working his way up through the years to attain the 33rd Degree. Bill volunteered much of his time over 20 years to Community Living, helping enrich the lives of the intellectually disabled. Bill's first love may have been farming but his greatest love was for Shirley and his family. He was a kind, gentle and devoted husband, father and friend. He was a generous man who wouldn't hesitate to help out a friend or stranger at any time. Bill lived a full, rich life doing what he loved surrounded by family and friends. The family would like to thank the staff at Extendicare and the St. Catharines Hospital for all their care and a special thanks to Dr. Dennis Whitty for his care and kindness over the past years. In lieu of flowers a donation to Community Living St. Catharines would be greatly appreciated. Visitation will take place at Tallman's Funeral Home, 3277 king St. in Vineland on Monday, July 18th from 2pm - 4pm and 7pm - 9pm. A Masonic service will be held on Monday, July 18th at 6 pm.
