Kenneth Proudfoot Mitchell
October 4, 1939 - March 25, 2021
In loving memory of Kenneth Proudfoot Mitchell who died March 25, 2021 at St. Peter's Hospital after a short battle with lung cancer. Born October 4, 1939 in Glasgow, Scotland, his family emigrated to Canada in 1944. Raised in Burford, ON, Ken graduated from McMaster University and traveled and lived across Canada before settling back in Brantford. Beloved husband of 19 years to the late Cathy Hanson (July 2014). Ken is survived by his brother George (Patricia); two step-children, Belinda (Paul) and Stephen; and two grandchildren. Kindness is the first word that comes to mind when thinking of Ken. He had an enormous appetite for learning and was always teaching himself new languages, including French and Latin, or new skills, such as piano and pickleball. He was a talented photographer and truly a scientist at heart. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic a memorial will be held in Ken's honour at a later time. In lieu of flowers, donations in Ken's name to St. Peter's Hospital in Hamilton or Stedman Community Hospice in Brantford, would be appreciated by the family. https://www.hamiltonhealth.ca/donate https://www.sjlc.ca/donations/donate
