Kenneth Reginald Dugwell known to many as "Deacon", age 74, of East York, Ontario passed away peacefully on Sunday, November 27, 2022 at Providence Health Care. Devoted husband to Patricia, father to Darryl (Trish) and Ryan (Erin) and amazing Papa to Riley, Deacon and Nate. Whatever Kenny did, he was all in.
A tried-and-true East Yorker, a die-hard Pittsburgh Penguin fan, horse racing enthusiast and music lover to his core. But the real love of his life was his family. He never hesitated to drive around the entire city to catch one of his grandchildren play hockey, and Friday night dinners were a regular at Nana and Papa’s. Kenny also had his crew, some of which he had known for 60 years. Whether it was poker night, the Annual Woodmount Open Ping Pong tournament, or hosting Breeders Cup race day, Kenny was always in for a good time with his friends. A special thank you to this dedicated group of friends who ensured that he knew how loved he was during his battle with Alzheimer's. He really did have the best group of friends on Earth. Many thanks to his PSW, Marina, and all the nurses who cared for him during his final days. Their knowledge and emotional support were incredible. A visitation for Kenneth will be held Thursday, December 1, 2022 from 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM and 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM at Paul O’Connor Funeral Home, 1939 Lawrence Ave. E, Scarborough, ON M1R2Y8. A funeral service will be held in the Chapel on Friday, December 2, 2022 at 11:00 AM. Cremation to follow.
