It is with heavy hearts we announce the passing of Elwyn Preston Bliss at Brantford General Hospital on March 13, 2021.  In his 86th year, he fought a short battle of severe diabetic complications.

After 65 years of wedded bliss he leaves his devoted wife Joyce Ellen (nee Drew) of Blenheim, ON.

Also in mourning is his family:

Father to Jeff (Marg), Eric (Kandace) and Sharon (Kim).

Grandfather to Drew, Erica (Mike), Karla (Stu), Dan (Alexandra) and Bianca (Shawn).

Great Grandfather to Atticus, Estelle and Charlotte.

Brother to Leslie (the late Ethel), Barbara (Norman), Linda (Richard).  Predeceased by brother Douglas (the late Evelyn), sister Lois (Stanley) and sister Phyllis (Ernie).

Elwyn will be greatly missed by innumerable nieces, nephews, brothers-  and sisters–in-law, relatives and friends.

A private service will be held with interment at a later date.

In lieu of flowers the family requests donations be made to the Canadian Diabetes Association, The Jack Miner Bird Foundation or the Chatham-Kent VON.
