DUNNINGTON, Kenneth William Passed away peacefully at Lanark Heights Long Term Care Centre on Wednesday, September 1, 2010, in his 90th year. Beloved husband of Ruth Dunnington (nee Haynes) for over 66 years. Loving father of Adrienne Hawkins (Richard), Kathleen White (Peter), Margaret Dunnington, John Dunnington (Beverly) and Robert Dunnington (Marion).

Dad was a quiet, gentle man who loved his family and his country. He was a proud member of the RCAF during WWII and a member of Wing 404 in Waterloo. He had many stories to tell about WWII and even more to tell about his “terrific” grandchildren.
