Patrick Alfred Gaffney

At his family cottage in Halliburton – “His Happy Place” after a long battle with Cancer Patrick succumbed to his illness. Patrick was the beloved husband of Lynn and ex-husband to Ginny. Loving father of Ryan and his wife Amy, Kari and husband Steve. Caring step-father of Ryan and wife Cirissa, Tyler and wife Michelle. Adored by his grandchildren, Cameron and Wesley as well as step-grandchildren, Finn, Peyton, and Evie. Eldest brother to Barbara and husband Scott and Susan and husband Peter. Pat was a master electrician, ran a successful electric business, had a love for rock and roll, hockey and more specifically the Toronto Maple Leafs. He was passionately involved with the Masons in Aurora. Pat worked his way up to Past Master with the Masons. His contributions and mentorship of his fellow members will be warmly remembered as well as his active involvement in community fund-raising. Pat was actively engaged in his children’s sports during their younger years coaching their hockey and soccer teams. In later years Patrick enjoyed travelling with his wife Lynn, and their trip to Poland to visit an old friend and colleague will be lovingly remember along with their trips to Cuba. In his spare time Pat enjoyed early morning boat rides on Stormy Lake and fishing where his spirit will live on.

Those we love do not go away. They walk beside us every day, unseen, unheard, but always near. Still missed and very near.
