Brunton, Mo
Veteran – Teacher – Husband – Father
Our father died on Tuesday, April 13, 2010, after a lingering illness. He was 88 years old. Mo Brunton served as a pilot in the RCAF during the second world war, flying Halifax bombers in 38 combat missions and meriting the Distinguish Flying Cross. He also served in the peacetime RCAF for 18 years, retiring with the rank of Squadron Leader. Then Dad began another career, teaching English at Algonquin College. He married our mother Alison in 1951. Five children and four grandchildren came from their long and loving union, and what can we say of him as a father? Simply that he loved us absolutely, as much as any person can, and was always there in different ways for each of us whenever we needed him. He was also good to our grandmother Nana. He and Mom provided her with a home and faithfully looked after her and her affairs in her last years. Dad loved music: classical, big band jazz and Anglican church music. He loved literature and good writing; travelling; playing bridge. He wrote interesting and pithy letters that were published in the Globe and Mail. Although he was one of many who fought Germany, and always believed in the justness of that war, he admired the German people, learned German in his 70s, and after both he and Mom retired, they toured Germany, one of the highlights of their lives. Dad’s last years were sad to witness. The family is grateful to the staff of St. Patrick’s home and of Peter D. Clark Long Term Care Facility (and of several other places where Dad’s condition took him), who always liked him and always provided professional and exemplary care. Squadron Leader Mons Linton Brunton, D.F.C., CD; born in Tara, Ontario, November 18, 1921; died in Ottawa, Ontario, April 13, 2010. Survived by his wife, Alison (née McCabe).
