Earl Edward Palmer Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

Taken from us suddenly, in bed at his beloved home, on Wednesday February 7th, 2018, in his 87th year. Earl, a graduate of William & Mary College, Yale University, and the University of Toronto, enjoyed a long and successful career teaching law at Western University. He was also a highly respected labour arbitrator for close to half a century. "The Duke", son of Dorothy and Edward Palmer, is survived by his beloved wife Sally and treasured sister Jane. He is pre-deceased by his brother Barry and his son Barry. He will be dearly missed by his daughter Ellen, son Bruce, niece Jennie and grandsons Oscar and Archer. He leaves a great hole in the hearts of a host of friends and extended family. Bon vivant, raconteur and accomplished chef, Earl was also given to using French words when English would have been equally appropriate. He loved to cook, drink wine, collect stamps and talk football or politics, and he indulged these passions with uncommon vigour. As per Earl's wishes, there will be no formal funeral ceremonies. There will be a Celebration of Life on Saturday, March 31st from 12 p.m. - 2 p.m. at the Tamahaac Club. Donations to the Good Food Box Program c/o Grace Lutheran Church 1107 Main St. W. Hamilton, ON L8S 1B8, or The Heart and Stroke Foundation would be appreciated. http://glc.ca/outreach/good-food-box-2/ http://www.heartandstroke.ca/ TAMAHAAC CLUB Directions - 180 Filman Road, Ancaster, ON From Toronto: • Take the Queen Elizabeth Way/ON-403 West and follow signs for Hamilton • Take exit 64 toward Rousseaux Street • Turn right onto Filman Road From Niagara: • Take QEW Toronto bound • Exit 88-89 Red Hill Valley Parkway South • Continue onto Lincoln Alexander Parkway West • Exit on the left to Rousseaux Street • Turn right onto Filman Road From London: • Take 401 (Toronto bound) • Keep right, take 403 East (Brantford /Hamilton) • Exit 64, Lincoln Alexander Parkway East • Take the Golf Links Road/Mohawk Road exit • Keep left at the fork, follow signs for Mohawk Road West/Stone Church Road • Turn left onto Mohawk Road/Regional Road 260 • Take the Lincoln Alexander Parkway West ramp to ON-403 • Exit on the left toward Rousseaux Street • Turn right onto Filman Road
