Obituary for Philip Mason Grimes
PHILIP MASON GRIMES - 1920 - 2016
Born in Augusta Maine August 23, 1920, son of Warren and Ruth Grimes. A World War II veteran, serving with the Canadian Air Force Regiment out of Dunnville, ON, and Master Mason. Predeceased by his wife Elizabeth and son William (Bill) and his brothers Donald and Burt.
Survived by his son John and wife Tara of Wellington, Florida; his granddaughter Mackenzie; his sister Thelma Steele and her husband James of Woodstock, Ontario; his sister-in-law Jacky Grimes of Newmarket, Ontario and many nieces and nephews.
He will be sorely missed by his loving companion Mimi Robichaud and her devoted family and fondly remembered by Barbara and Kent Abraham and their family. Among his many friends around the world he will be missed by his dear friend Charles Zembowski and his family. Special thanks to Lucy Ratto, Phil’s caregiver and all staff at the Sunnybrook Veterans Hospital.
Phil followed his father and grandfather in the manufacturing of sandpaper and he became a consulting engineer to many companies throughout the world. In 1976 he and his son John founded Gemtex Abrasives and filed several patents. He was an honorary member of the Coated Abrasive Fabricators Society. He was very interested in the environment and formed the Weedoo Greenboat Company in 2000 which builds ecological restoration vessels. A great sports athlete and enthusiastic golfer. A great man that will be missed by many.
