Passed away peacefully surrounded by all his family at St. Joseph’s Healthcare, Hamilton on Sunday, December 8th, 2024, in his 84th year. Cherished spouse for 53 years, of Carmelita Barreda Dobson. Loving father and friend to Laura May Dobson (and partner Zakhir Jaipersaud) and Susan Lynn Dobson (and partner Micaela Machado). Caring, adored grandfather of James and Sarah Dobson-O’Day. Hugh will be sadly missed by brother Ross Dobson and his wife Sally of Cornwall, ON, and sister Ann McMillen and her husband Paul of Port Alberni, BC. Hugh also will be missed by his cousins across Canada, in-laws, and his nephews and nieces, especially, Joy Barreda. Hugh was predeceased by his parents Hugh Montross Dobson and Ena Alexandra Hunter Dobson.
Hugh Dobson III was born in Vancouver, BC, on February 24th, 1940. From 1958 to 1965, Hugh practiced general Oceanography on the northeast Pacific Ocean, employed by the Government of Canada and Oregon State University. In 1966, he became a founding staff member of the Canada Centre for Inland Waters—a large scientific institute of Environment Canada, where he studied, reported, and had many works published on Great Lakes offshore water quality. He then provided a daily scientific information service for co-workers, fulfilling both roles there for forty years. He retired fully in December 2006.
In 2012, Hugh and Carmelita moved from their lovely longtime home in south Burlington, ON on Seneca Ave., to nearby Dundas. They enjoyed the natural beauty of Dundas Valley and easily came to call it home. They had happy adventures in retirement, including a family trip in 2017 back to Thetis Island, BC—where Hugh spent a lot of time in his younger years. There, he had nurtured and expanded his passions for, and knowledge of, the ocean, marine ecology, phytoplankton, algae, and seafaring vessels… ships, boats, and sailing! His grandson James, as a toddler, would one day inadvertently call out his name as what sounded like Popeye… and the suiting nickname within the family stayed with him for the rest of his days, to his amusement and excellent satisfaction. He often referred to himself as Popeye and would sign his name as such.
Hugh and Carmelita savoured each day together at their Pleasant Valley Dundas house, including with the long-lived family Shih Tzu Pug dog, Cutie. Hugh, Carmelita and Cutie travelled to nearby Southern Ontario cities and towns, to cheer on countless baseball games with the grandkids.
Hugh collected educating and inspiring books on his key topics of interest and enjoyed his collection of model trains. Family travels through the years included many trips to BC, to New York for work and family, an independently organized tour of England and Ireland, and in early and recent years, to Ontario cottages. Hugh’s legacies include, his love of the family—especially, his “Dear One” Carmelita. Hugh and Carmelita are extraordinarily interconnected with one another and their love endures. Hugh will also be remembered for his faith and spirituality, his warmth and genuineness, his sublime sense of humour, his keen intellect, his interest in world politics, and living the example of his original “Active Peace” philosophy and personal writings.
Friends and Family are invited to: Turner Family Funeral Home, 53 Main St. Dundas, ON, for his Funeral Service at 1:00 pm on Sunday, January 19th, 2025, directly followed by the Celebration of Life at the adjacent Cattel Centre.
Please consider donating to an environmental/ waters conservation and protection organization in Canada, or a nuclear disarmament organization of your choosing, in loving memory of Hugh Francis Hunter Dobson.
