Yorke, Aubrey Victor (Dec. 15, 1949 - Sept. 17, 2021)
Born in Bear River, Nova Scotia, he passed away at St. Joseph's General Hospital in Elliot Lake, ON following a courageous battle with cancer. Beloved husband of Jackie Yorke. Predeceased by his parents, Josephine & Victor Yorke, two sisters, Linda Lou & Gail Longe & brother Frank. Survived by his siblings Diane (Bob predeceased), Beverley (Giorgio), Peter (Sharon), Danny (Fay), Polly (Clark), Marlene (Danny), Jeff (Paula), Vicki (Sheridan), Jason (Pauline) & Tracy. Uncle & great uncle to numerous nieces & nephews. The last one to join the Yorke Clan was his name sake "little Aubrey Victor". Aubrey had the special moments to hold him at 3 weeks old. Also survived by brothers-in-law Donny Longe & Mark Adams, sister-in-law Shirley Yorke & by Jackie's family members, sister Sandra (husband André Gagnon), their daughter Nathalie (Robb) & grandchild Keegan.
A private family "Celebration of Life" will take place at a later date. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions to St. Joseph's Foundation of Elliot Lake would be greatly appreciated by the family.
The family would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to Dr. Purzner & the 3rd floor nursing staff at St. Joseph's General Hospital for the care & compassion provided to Aubrey throughout his illness. Thank you also to Josianne for your guidance & care.
Love Jackie & family
