June 13, 1952 – February 8, 2019
Mark died suddenly in the early morning hours of Friday, February 8, despite the best efforts of Hamilton Paramedics, Fire Department and St. Joseph’s Hospital. Mark’s wife Kathryn is inconsolable, unable to imagine a world without her beautiful blond haired boy. Mark was home and doing well following rehabilitation at St. Peter’s Hospital after a lengthy stay at the Juravinski Hospital for biliary problems where he (and Kathryn) received outstanding care from Dr. Pablo Serrano, his wonderful assistant Sharon, and the fabulous ICU and E4 teams. Kathryn will be forever grateful for their superior skills, compassion and humanity. Kathryn and Mark were beyond happy that he was finally home, that they were together again, rebuilding their lives. The shock of Mark’s death is deeply felt by all who knew and loved him.
Mark was predeceased by his parents Albert and Jean Nelson and his father-in-law Jim Raycroft. He is survived by his brothers Rod (Judy), Carl (Pamela) and Tad Nelson, Kathryn’s mother Shirley and brother Ian (Francine) Raycroft, nephews and nieces Jenn, Sara, Scott (Kathryn), Brett (Christy) and Caitlin Nelson and Nicholas Raycroft, 8 great-nephews and nieces and Kathryn’s aunt and uncle Jean and David McLay. Mark will be forever missed by his great friends Alex van Nostrand, Emily Andrus, Barbara Evans and Gary Raycroft, best man Brian Ferguson and matron of honour Gwen Spencer, and many friends who treasured his kindness, wit and sense of humour. Cats Rita and Cici are taking good care of Kathryn, and he is now reunited with his favourite cat Rosie and guard cat Susie.
Mark and Kathryn were both born in Hamilton at Mount Hamilton Hospital (now the Juravinski). Mark grew up in Hamilton, Ancaster, Guelph and Kingston. They were living in Toronto when they met in 1989 and married in 1995. They were thrilled to move back home to the best city in the world in 2006, where Mark was able to reconnect with many childhood friends, including George Truman, Cathy Doholis and Doug Waterman. Mark had a varied career as a Buyer at Grafton Fraser, Inside Sales Rep at Wang (formerly Bull HN Info Systems) and Micro-Alternative Solutions, Funeral Director’s Assistant at Humphrey and Ogden Funeral Homes and Business Analyst at Hewlett-Packard.
He loved golf and somehow every time Mark and Kathryn vacationed, there was always a golf course nearby (they married on the 18th hole and honeymooned in Bermuda). Mark was a gymnast in high school and not too long ago could plank for 20 minutes without tiring. Who knows how long he could have planked if Kathryn hadn’t told him enough already. Mark loved music, especially Elvis, the Beatles, Gordon Lightfoot and Roy Orbison. He was a talented artist, guitarist and singer who played and sang in groups as a teen-ager, but who in later years was too modest to let many hear his talents. Kathryn married Mark because he was such a great cook; he did the cooking and grocery shopping for most of their lives together. He was an avid crossword puzzle solver and always won when he and Kathryn played card games and scrabble, much to her chagrin. He enjoyed a good discussion, and he loved to hang out at the West Town with old and new friends.
Kathryn loved Mark for his sharp sense of humour, his beautiful blue eyes and taupe hair (blond in the summer), his elegant, artistic hands, his lovely voice (nickname the mellow bellow), his loyalty, sensitivity, stubbornness, compassion, and intelligence. Kathryn can’t believe he’s gone; she was certain they’d be together for many years to come. It’s not the first time she’s been wrong (don’t tell her that).
Please share your thoughts and memories of Mark with Kathryn, and families and friends at Turner Family Funeral Home, 53 Main Street, Dundas, on Tuesday, February 12th from 2 to 4 p.m. or Wednesday, February 13th from 1 to 2 p.m. Service Wednesday, February 13th at 2 p.m. with reception after. In lieu of flowers, please donate to Hamilton Street Cats, in memory of a man who loved his cats almost as much as he loved his wife.
To lead a better life
I need my love to be here…
Here, there and everywhere.

Lee, David Robert, Q.C. – David Lee died peacefully with his family by his side on January 22, 2019 after struggling with Parkinson’s Disease for over 15 years. Loving husband of Ruth for 60 years. Cherished father of Daniel (Teresa Wasiak-Lee); Sarah (Cameron Belsher); Stephen (partner Nancy Reinhart); and Deborah (Kevin Eldridge). Beloved grandfather of Kristen and Shane Belsher; Duncan, Adam and Robyn Eldridge; and Clare (David Adamcik). Loyal and valued friend. David practised law for 35 years in Dundas at Lee & Lee alongside his father D’Arcy. His clients appreciated his wise counsel. His colleagues considered him reliable and trustworthy. David was a multi-talented individual who was first and foremost a gifted pianist and composer. He also excelled at golf and his nearly 60 year membership at The Hamilton Golf and Country Club was very dear to his heart. He won many tournaments including winning the Club Championship 13 times over a period of five decades. As a Master Model Railroader, he spent his lifetime creating an elaborate model railroad in the basement of his home. In 2015 he and Ruth donated the entire layout to their alma mater, McMaster University. It is now located in the David Braley Health Sciences Centre, Hamilton for all to enjoy. Many thanks to the Dundas Model Railroad Club for their involvement in dismantling and relocating the layout to its new home. While pursuing his passions and in service as an active member of The Rotary Club of Dundas and a Master of Valley Lodge 100, David touched many lives and inspired many more. He was a fine gentleman who lived his life with integrity, a dry sense of humour, and a relentless desire for excellence. His love for his wife surpassed all other passions and was crucial to helping him cope with his debilitating illness. The family wishes to thank the staff of The Meadows Long Term Care Home for their care and concern. We are also deeply grateful to David’s private caregiver, Mariola, who faithfully and with great compassion helped David face his disease. We also wish to thank Dr. Misiaszek and Lisa for their guidance and wise medical advice. David had a strong Christian faith and was an active member of St. Mark’s United Church for 60 years. Cremation has taken place. Friends will be received by the family on Friday, March 1 from 7-9 p.m. at St. Mark’s United Church (Governor’s Road) with David’s Memorial Service being held at the Church on Saturday, March 2 at 11:00 a.m. In lieu of flowers, donations in memory of David may be made to the Bell Fund of St. Mark’s United Church (1 Lyndale Drive, Dundas, Ontario, L9H 3L4 ) or to Parkinson Canada.
The Lord said unto him “Well done, thou good and faithful servant”.
