He will be missed by his many nieces and nephews, cousins, his extended family in England and his many friends, especially Tim and Susan Lovering, Janet and Rob Hazlett and John Patterson. Adrian appreciated all the people in his life and wasn't afraid to tell them so. Adrian was born in England and moved to Canada with his family at the age of 10 1/2 months. Most of his young life was spent growing up in Warminster, Ontario where his days were filled with adventure. The stories he could tell and he did repeatedly. He graduated from Park Street Collegiate in Orillia followed by the RPN program at Georgian College. He began his career at Oak Ridge (Waypoint) where he worked until he retired. Adrian loved his job and was very proud of his work especially in his last several years as Trainer. In his role with CPI he earned Meritorious status and taught over 4000 staff members. Adrian and Maureen were high school sweethearts who met in 1982 through mutual friends and married 5 years later. In their 41 years, they may not have travelled the world, but they did travel this life together, hand in hand, with lots of love, tons of laughter and two incredible children by their side. Adrian loved many things, the outdoors, cars, motorcycles, boats, fishing, canoes, a good book, animals especially his favorite cat Cooper and his beloved dog Cindy predeceased.
