We regret to advise of the death of Ross Logan Hutton at the Mewburn Veterans Hospital in Edmonton AB on 25 December 2003 at the age of 79.
Ross was born in Minnedosa MB. He was enlisted when he was 17 and served overseas with the Royal Canadian Engineers, 2nd Battalion as a dispatch rider. During his service in the United Kingdom, he was involved in the construction of facilities and other projects to assist in the defence of the UK. In late 1943, Lance-Cpl. Hutton was injured in a jeep accident, receiving injuries from which he never fully recovered. After a period of convalescing at Northanger House, a large country house in Surrey being used by the Battalion, he returned to Canada.
After his release, Ross returned home to Minnedosa and went into the electrical business and worked in this trade until his retirement as Alberta President of Newberry Energy in 1982.
In accordance with Ross's wishes, there will be no service. Donations may be made to the Mewburn Veteran's Centre, 11440 University Avenue, Edmonton, Alberta. {gdSep2016kh}
