G. Austin Loree passed away in his home in Lucknow on June 20, 2021 at the age of 89. He is predeceased by his beloved wife Mildred (Keith) in 2015. Austin was born in Listowel, Ontario on February 23, 1932 to the late Ida Mae (Fleet) and Lester Loree. Dear father of Bob (Debbie) of Listowel, Bill (Kimberley) of Fordwich, Stanley (Pamela) of Brampton, Barb (Bruce) Willits of Lucknow and Shirley (Tom) Coady of Cambridge. Proud grandpa of 13 grandchildren and 16 great grandchildren. Survived by his in laws David (Ellen) Keith and Eleanor Keith. Predeceased by his siblings Edith Moore, Lorne Loree, and Blanche Bridge. Austin was very involved in his church serving his loving Lord and Saviour, and loved to sing his entire life. He was a creature of habit having some remark "You could set your watch by Austin". He was well known for being Mildred's right-hand man; helping her with her many endeavors, as she did with his.
Was so sorry to hear of uncle Austin's death. Another wonderful light gone from this world, he will be greatly missed. My mother Anne wishes to send her condolences to the family. She said she will greatly miss him as they would talk from time to time and he would lift her spirits. Again our deepest sympathies to you and your family.
Love: Barry, Teresa and Josh Hosea & Anne Loree 🙏🌹
I feel honoured to have known Austy for so many years. From Sunday School till retirement & those daily walks when I'd be able to say Hi and have a short conversation. One day I said to him "how do you ever do it?" his reply was "just put one foot in front of the other😂. I always think of him when I'm out walking. His advice and chuckle keeps me going. Be happy, he is with his Lord & Saviour
My condolences to everyone. Sorry I missed the visitation. Remember all the good memories. Maybe Shirley and Tom we will be on the committee again together when the Stobo picnic resumes.
Sending my condolences to the Loree Family. I remember Austin from years ago when he, on occasion, would drive his sister Blanche to our one room school on a Monday morning where Blanche was my teacher for two years. Sincerely, Lois Reoch.
Our sympathy Barb and your families at the loss of your dad. A fantastic guy to everyone he met. I first met Austin when he was working for Listowel Transport and his mannerism never changed in all those years. Doug and Karen.
My sincere sympathy to all of the Loree family. My memories of Austin will be of a kind gentle man. Whenever we met and talked he was so pleasant. A life well lived who will be missed by all of you.
Austin has been a great neighbour over the years, always ready with a smile and a wave, and to lend a hand. For years he and Mildred walked their route together, and then alone Austin went out in all kinds of weather. Our little neighbourhood will not be the same without him. Our sympathy to Barb and all of Austin's family.
You will all have great memories of your Dad. When we worked together at Henderson's Lumber, I remember the talks we would have and his kindness he showed to all. My deepest condolences .
Bob, Debbie & family...We are very sorry to hear of your father's passing. From reading the obituary and other messages, it sounds like he was a genuine husband, father and friend. He will be truly missed. Thinking of all of you at this sad time.

Deepest sympathies to the whole family on the passing of your Dad.
I have lots of childhood memories of your dad being that I grew up a block away on another dead end street along the mill pond and being at your house lots from hanging out with Shirley after school to attending bible school in your back yard

To Bob, Debbie, Bill, KIm, Stan, Pam, Barb, Bruce, Shirley, Tom and families
Deepest sympathy for your loss and grief.
At the end of life what really matters is not what we bought, but what we built; not what we got, but what we shared, not our competence, but our character; and not our success, but our significance. Live a life that matters. Live a life of love.
To all of Austin's family we send our hearfelt condolences in the loss of a great man . A life so well lived with so many good memories as well. May these sustain you as you go through this sad time and may God bless each of you. Bob & June

So sorry to hear of Austin's passing. He was such a nice man and a wonderful companion to mom. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. He will definitely be missed
Sending our deepest condolences to Austin's family. We will always have such fond memories of Austin. I can still hear him singing in church the songs he loved. I can only begin to imagine him singing now in Heaven a new song to his Lord and Saviour.
Barb and Bruce and the entire Loree family I was sorry to hear of Austin's passing. What a kind and gentle man he was and we always had a little chat in the mornings while we were both out 'touring' the town. You will have great memories of his well lived life. Please know we are thinking of you during the next few days. Sympathy to all. Betty Anne & David
