Son of the late Ainslie and Edith Read, Colin grew up on the family farm in Dunrobin, Ontario.

Active member in the All Saints Westboro and longstanding chorister, he also volunteered at Parkdale Food Centre. 

Colin will be missed by siblings: Rhondda MacKay (Robin), Ainslie Read (Joan), Marian Read (Ndoria) and Laura Desclouds (Barry) and his niece and nephews.

Following cremation, a memorial celebration will be held at All Saints Westboro on Monday, November 14, with visitation at 1 pm, a Eucharist at 2 pm and reception to follow. Interment of ashes will be at St. Paul’s, Dunrobin.

Many thanks to Dr Lisa Cross and the Community Palliative Care Team and to the staff and volunteers at the May Court Hospice.

Rhondda and family

I sang bass beside Colin for many years at All Saints. He had a fine deep baritone voice, and it was a pleasure to sing with him. I remember his infectious laugh as we shared stories in the back pew.

I was so sorry to hear we have lost Colin.

The Read Family

I was sorry to read of Colin's death. Many memories of Colin from his time living in Dunrobin. Colin and my late father Reverend Edward Attwell spent many years involved with Scouts and worshiping at St. Paul's Anglican Church. Then as an adult I saw Colin almost every workday at Mitel for many years. He was a great worker but he always had time to have a short chat with me. He would have a smile on his face if I asked about family and he was very proud to tell me what everyone was doing.
Condolences to the entire "Read" family.
Sincerely, Mary Attwell

Marian and family

I never had the opportunity to meet Colin, but having known Marian for over 30 years, I've heard about her siblings and I'm sure he was a wonderful person. I'm sorry for the loss you are all suffering.
