KNIGHTON, Harley Reginald

Passed away peacefully with family by his side in the early hours of Saturday November 16th in his 91st year. He leaves behind his wife of 66 years Lois (nee McDougall), his children, Jamie (Laura Radey), Michael, Adrianne and Tamara (Joe Kresovic), grandchildren, Nick and Gregory Knighton and his nieces Beverley Igo and Barbara Alves. He will also be missed by extended family, cousins, colleagues and friends.

Predeceased by his parents Clifford Knighton and Rudy (nee Juhlin), and his sister Margery Joyce Igo (2013).

Harley was born and raised in Guelph and attended Guelph C.V.I. before becoming a Draftsman which lead him into teaching starting at Orangeville D.H.S.. After a couple of years he transferred for a teaching position and a technical headship at Guelph C.V.I., where he also enjoyed coaching football, rugby and basketball. All his life he enjoyed outdoor pursuits, travelling and his four legged furry friends. A big thank you to the Rickson Park dog group that made his day for decades.
