Obituary of Allan Peter Orridge

Allan Peter Orridge, 74, passed away in Tecumseh, Ontario on July 16, 2016. He was born and educated in England and moved to Canada in his twenties to begin his career as a Chartered Accountant in Windsor, Ontario. It was there he met his beloved Mary and they married and started their family. They remained in Windsor for eighteen years before relocating to the Maritimes, a place he had dearly loved visiting. He spent the remainder of his career with Bartlett, Mills and Orridge on Saint John’s west side, retiring in 2000. He and Mary greatly enjoyed their winters in Florida and the occasional fishing trip to England.
