Obituary of Howard Shrimpton
The family of Howard Thomas Shrimpton are saddened to announce his death on October 17, 2024 at the age of 88.
Howard was born and raised in 1936 in Greenfield Park, Quebec. He is a proud graduate of McGill Engineering in 1961. In 1957, his world changed forever when he met Beverly Skene. Howard and Bev married in 1962 and together they traveled, raised a family and enjoyed all of life’s adventures.
Along the way they welcomed Jill, Jennifer and Ian along with seven grandchildren and two great grandchildren.
Howard spent most of his working life at James F. McLaren Engineers, which was later acquired by Lavalin. In 1988, he joined with five partners to start MacViro Consultants Inc. His work has taken him around the world to Haiti, Malaysia, Lesotho and Algeria to name a few. Howard and Bev made friends everywhere they went.
Howard was a dedicated and principled worker and was awarded the George Fuller Award in 1999. He enjoyed golf, bridge, cheering for the Habs and sharing a bottle of fine wine with good friends.
He was never happier than when his family was around him. He will be sadly missed by Beverley, his wife of 62 years and his children: Jill McRae (Dale Hogg and grandchildren Lisa, Melody and Jeremy), Jennifer Murray (grandchildren James and Alison (Scott) Buckman and great-grandchildren Felicity and Caroline) and Ian (Belinda and grandchildren Catherine and Evelyn). Howard was more than a little proud that Ian, Catherine and Evelyn followed him into the engineering profession.
The family thanks Country Home Care in Stouffville for their compassionate care of Howard in his final days. Arrangements are entrusted to Dixon-Garland Funeral Home in Markham. The family will receive visitors on Friday, November 1st from 2 to 4 and 6 to 8 p.m. The funeral will take place on November 2 at 11:00 am
In lieu of flowers, the family requests that Howard be remembered with donations to the Markham Food Bank.
