Date of Passing: Oct 02, 2024
Send Flowers to the Family Offer Condolences or MemoryDAVID GRAHAM PATON
After complications due to cancer and a brief final illness, Dave passed peacefully, surrounded by family, on October 2, 2024.
Predeceased by his dad, mom, brothers, and sisters, he is survived by his loving wife and partner of 64 years, Wendy. He will also be deeply missed by his girls: Nancy, Erin (Jamie), and Margret (David); and his grandchildren: Fiona, Jackson, Wesley, and Lachlan. He leaves behind many loved nieces and nephews.
A talented athlete through his life, Dave will be remembered by many friends from his years on the golf course, on the curling ice, and any sport surface he touched. Many students and colleagues will recall "The General" at Hapnot, who commanded respect in the classroom and halls and, in turn, dedicated himself to making sure his students thrived – whether they wanted to or not.
Dave will be laid to rest at a private burial in the family plot in Kenora, Ontario. As per his wishes, there will be no funeral. In lieu of flowers, please donate to a charity of your choice.

We were so sorry to read of Dave's passing. He was a good person and an excellent teacher. He would tell it as he saw it. Also, he was a regular member of the lunch and after school bridge group. Our sympathies go out to Wendy, Nancy, Erin and Margaret. - Posted by: Roy and Debbie (Olenick) Eldridge (Former colleague) on: Oct 26, 2024

Very sorry to hear of Dave's passing. I remember Dave so well from my days in the 70s and 80s teaching at Hapnot. Dave was always a gentleman who had strong opinions on a variety of topics. He was one of a kind. - Posted by: Lorne Warwick (Former colleague) on: Oct 15, 2024

I have not seen or talked with Dave since our days of university curling and travelling to Kenora for the annual bonspiel. I remember so well staying at the family home and meeting his parents. - Posted by: Kenneth MacKenzie (Friend from the days of United College and curling) on: Oct 14, 2024
