In memory of

Reginald Howard Tays

August 9, 1933 - December 22, 2019

With profound sadness we announce the passing of Reginald Howard Tays, aged 86, on December 22, 2019 at the Ontario Shores Centre for Mental Health, Whitby, Ontario. He was the beloved husband of Patricia for 63 years; loving brother of George (Betty), Ina (deceased)(Leslie), Len (Raymonde) and Barb (Aubrey) and loving father of Anne (Mark), Robert (Cathie) and Peter (Suzy). Reg was graced with 7 grandchildren.

Reg worked 41 years for Falconbridge Nickle Mines Ltd. (Glencore). The last 20 years he was the Property Manager and traveled the world extensively. Reg had many hobbies including playing bridge, curling, golfing, gardening and travelling with Pat and friends. Reg's dedication to the Presbyterian Church, federal, provincial and municipal politics and to entertaining with friends and family was life long.

A memorial service will be held on Saturday January 4, 2020 11:00am at the Melville Presbyterian Church, 70 Old Kingston Road, Scarborough. In memory of Reg and in lieu of flowers, donations to the Ontario Shores Centre for Mental Health Sciences (https://www.ontarioshores.ca/foundation/donate_now ) would be appreciated by the family.

My brother had a full life who worked hard and was kind, generous and supportive of his family.
A huge thank you to his wife and children who treated him so well during his dementia illness. Such a terrible disease for everyone.
I could not have asked for a better brother.
