Yes I did think that as well. He died of a heart condition related to lung cancer so it would've been either something that was planned in terms of staying there for a while (e.g. medical treatment, or visiting a friend or relative). Thinking about it he would've probably been a couple of years into retirement I would think at the time of death.

Hi,

I found him...under the name Ted!!

Obit in the Globe and Mail newspaper, 6 April 1982, page C9

It says Ted Knight died in Warrenton, Virginia on Friday 2 April 1982.  Husband of Barbara.  Brother of Elsie.  Uncle of Valerie and Michael.   Service at the Trull Funeral Home on Yonge Street.  Cremation.   Donations to Canadian Cancer Society. 

I looked through the Mount Pleasant Cemetery database, and I don't see either him or Barbara.  Odd

Hi Run Kitty,

Thanks for that - that's brilliant. How do I view that? When I search their obituaries using the 'powered by legacy.com' searchbox that comes up on the Globe and Mail website it returns nothing?
