In Loving Memory of Jorge Ador-Dionisio

Jorge Ador Dionisio passed away peacefully at home on August 9, 2023. Born in Manila, Philippines, on ​August 24, 1946, his family was his heart and life's purpose. He was a devoted husband to Kaye, his ​partner of nearly 45 years. He was an unconditionally proud and supportive Dad to Kara (Ador-Dionisio) ​and Anna (Cowen), known simply to their Dad as Bear and Bean; his girls were his world. He eventually ​(and not even reluctantly) welcomed his dashing sons-in-law, Ryan Turner and Darrell Cowen. But his ​greatest joy came from his cherished grandchildren, Elly & Leo and Myles & Nolan, who miss their Papa / ​Lolo with all their hearts.

Jorge is survived by his beloved siblings, his sister Nette Devilla (and her late husband Guillermo De ​Villa) and his brother Saturnino Ador-Dionisio (and his wife Evelyn). His niece Eileen Devilla, notably ​supported him and our family in his last months. He cherished all his nieces & nephews and great-​nephews who loved their “Uncle Bam” dearly.

Dr. Jorge Ador-Dionisio graduated from the University of the East in Manila, Philippines, in 1973 before ​embarking on his radiology residency at McMaster University in Canada.

He graduated in 1979, marked by the passing of his final board exams the day his first daughter was born ​(and as John McEnroe won the US Open).

With a career spanning over 40 years, Dr. Dionisio played a pivotal role in establishing the radiology ​department of Grey Bruce Health Services, serving as Chief Radiologist for over a decade.

Jorge's beautiful and skilled guitar playing was the soundtrack of our childhood and the heart of our ​home. He approached life with curiosity and an out-of-the-box mindset, embracing lifelong learning, ​many (often quirky) hobbies and passions, and gathering numerous friendships along the way.

This year literally broke our hearts; your love and support through this difficult time have meant the ​world to us.

As we come up on one year since his passing, we invite you to gather with us to finally celebrate Jorge's ​life on Saturday August 10th, 2024 between 1-3 pm at Cobble Beach.

If desired, remembrances may be made to Brightshores Foundation Medical Imaging (MRI).

"The Young Ones"

(One of Dad’s Favourite Songs)

The young ones

Darling, we're the young ones

And young ones

Shouldn't be afraid

To live, love

While the flame is strong

'Cause we may not be the young ones

Very long

.

.

And some day

When the years have flown

Darling, then we'll teach the young ones

Of our own

-The Young Ones, Cliff Richards

“Beyond the door

There's peace, I'm sure

And I know there'll be no more

Tears in heaven”

-Tears in Heaven, Eric Clapton

“Today, while the blossoms still cling to the vine

I'll taste your strawberries, I'll drink your sweet wine

A million tomorrows shall all pass away

'Ere I forget all the joy that is mine, Today”
