It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Elmer Lloyd Mitton, 78, of Sackville, at the Drew Nursing Home on Tuesday, May 15, 2018 after a brief illness.  Born in Sackville, Elmer was a son of the late Herman and Marion (Tower) Mitton.

Elmer had worked at TRHS and enjoyed his time with the teachers and students.  He was a proud supporter of the Titans and joyfully assisted with the special needs students.  He loved to spend time driving, especially taking a Rockport tour.  

Elmer was talented with his hands and in particular he enjoyed woodworking.  He made seven custom treasure boxes, one for each of his grandchildren.  A dedicated family man, he was deeply devoted to his family and friends.  He will be dearly missed.

In addition to his wife of almost fifty-nine years, Flora (nee Hicks) of Sackville, he will be sadly missed by his children Douglas (Jane), Brockville, ON; Della (Kirk) Estabrooks, Sackville and Daren (Angelika), North Bay, ON; seven grandchildren, Becky (Jeff), Matt, Andrew, Samantha (Blaine), Brad, Sara and Melissa; great grandsons Chase and Malcolm; a brother Warren, Sackville, as well as several nieces and nephews.

Besides his parents, Elmer was predeceased by his brother Larry.

Arrangements have been entrusted into the care and supervison of Jones Funeral Home, 70 Bridge St., Sackville (506-364-1300) where a memorial service will take place on Saturday, May 19, 2018 at 2 pm.   Burial will follow in the Midgic Cemetery.  Pastor Andrew Swanson presiding.
