On Saturday, March 1, 2025, Anton John Bader passed away peacefully at the Royal Victoria Regional Health Centre in Barrie in his 96th year. Predeceased by his beloved wife Dorothy (Bader) in 2005. Devoted husband and survived by his cherished wife Elizabeth Bader. Loving father of David, Henry and John. Proud grandfather (Opa) to Benjamin, Emily, Melissa, Breanne, Danielle and Samantha, and great grandfather of Olivia, Bronson, Harmony, Hunter and Levie.
Anton lived a simple life and loved his life with his family in Canada but loved travelling back to Holland whenever he could. He was a craftsman and had a passion for woodworking that he loved to share.
He loved animals from watching birds to snuggling with puppies, watching the Leafs and Netherland play. He will be remembered and missed by his family and dear friends.
Private family arrangements have taken place. Donations to a charity of choice would be appreciated as expressions of sympathy.
