Ross Douglas Penhale Obituary

Ross passed away quietly and comfortably at Haliburton Hospital on Friday morning, November 10, 2023. He was in his 67th year. Sadly missed by siblings Sandra Wheeler, Grant (Carole), Wendy, and Delma Williamson (D-John). Predeceased by his parents, Gloria Penhale and Jack Penhale, and by his younger sister, Susan Currie. Fondly remembered by his Aunt Joan and Uncle Gordon Thomson, and by his many cousins, nieces, nephews, great-nieces, great-nephews, and by long-time buddy John Currie.

During his younger years, Ross was an Ironworker (Local 721) in Toronto and worked at Dixon Hall Youth Center. He was proud and passionate about Hockey (Go, Leafs, Go!), Harleys (the bigger the better), and his ’69 Beaumont and ’82 Camaro. He liked fishing and cottaging (especially at Paradise Lake), and dogs Reefer, Bandit, and Scruffy. Ross won first prize singing karaoke to David Lee Roth’s Just a Gigolo, and always sang along with ZZ-Top, Neil Young’s Harvest Moon, and Rod Stewart’s Hot Legs. Ross was quite a character and surely will be missed.

Thank you to Dr. Bottum, the Nursing Staff at HHHS, and the Pharmaceutical Team at Rexall, Haliburton.
