We are heartbroken to announce the passing of Hugh (Arn) Vasey, on Monday, November 20th, 2023, at Wellington Terrace in Fergus.
Loving husband of the late Helen Vasey (2016). Father of Mike, Brian (Sue), Bob (Lesley), Brenda (Lou) and Paul (Jennifer). Grandfather of David, Daniel (Sarah), Kevin (Darya), Lisa (Jeremy), Keri (Rick), Sean, Kristopher (Heather), Amber (Les), Ryan (Rina), Nicholas, Brianne, and Jacob. Great-grandfather of thirteen and great-great-grandfather of one. He also leaves behind his brother-in-law Ross Smith and lifelong friends Bev and Lorraine Stowe. He will be fondly remembered for his quick sense of humour and friendly demeanor to both staff and residents.
He worked several years as a supervisor with Canada Post. Hugh and Helen spent many family summer holidays at Berford Lake with fond memories. Hugh was a master scrabble player with few opponents able to beat him. He also had a special place in his heart for dogs and had many companions over the years, his latest being Comet.
The family can’t thank the staff enough at Wellington Terrace for the wonderful care they extended to our father and our family especially in his last few days.
As per Hugh’s wishes, there will be a private family service at a later date. Arrangements entrusted to WALL-CUSTANCE FUNERAL HOME & CHAPEL (519-822-0051 / www.wallcustance.com).
Memorial contributions can be made to the Guelph Humane Society or the Heart & Stroke Foundation would be appreciated.
A tree will be planted in memory of Hugh A. (Arn) Vasey in the Wall-Custance Memorial Forest.
