Patrick Joseph Toner

It is with great sorrow, that the family announces the passing of Patrick (Pat) Toner at Timmins & District Hospital after hard fought lengthy illness on Sunday July 9, 2023, surrounded by his loving family. 

He leaves behind the love of his life, Roberta Toner (née Quine), with whom he shared over 52 years of marriage. Adored by daughters and sons-in-law Laura Alward (Rod), Stephanie Gagnon (Patrick), his grandsons Matthew Alward (Alex), Lucas Alward (Alexandria), Gavin Gagnon (Hailey) and granddaughter Jenna Gagnon. 

And, also left behind to mourn are his brothers-in-law and sisters-in law, Rene Tremblay, Walter DiTullio, Carolyn and Bob Steel and Steve and Kelly Quine, and his many nieces and nephews whom he adored. 

Predeceased by his parents Edward and Bridgit Toner and his siblings Ned Toner (late Joan), Claude Toner (late Dorothy Ann and late Diane), Jim Toner (late Lucy), George Toner (late Giselle), Elwood Toner, Kenny Toner (late Alice) Alvin Toner, and Sally Tremblay and his sister-in-law Catherine DiTullio. 

Pat was a dedicated member of the Porcupine Masonic Lodge since 1990, volunteered for many years at the Red Cross blood drives and South Porcupine Food Bank. 

Pat retired after 37 years at Kidd Creek Metallurgical Site to pursue his passion for restoring his 1954 Harley; travelling and spending time with family.  

We would like to give a very special thank you for the love and continual support of Dr. S. Vaithilingam and Dr. S. DiTullio and for the kindness and outstanding care he received during his final days from the Timmins and District Hospital Critical Care Unit and Emergency Unit staff. 

There are far too many nieces, nephews, extended family, and friends to mention by name, whom he cherished and loved to tease and “razz”; who supported him through the good times and rough times with love. 

Visitation will take place on Wednesday, July 12, 2023, from 7-9 pm at Stinson Funeral Home, followed by the memorial service on Thursday, July 13. 2023 at 11 am at Stinson Funeral Home, 100 Bruce Avenue, South Porcupine, (705)235-2900. www.stinsonfuneralhome.net
