WITTICK, Noel Charles - December 25, 1930 - June 1, 2021
After an extraordinary 90 years, Noel passed peacefully with his beloved wife and their children by his side.
He is survived by his wife of 59 years, Nancy (nee Lee), children Lee (Karen), Dana (Jamie), Leslie (Jay); adoring grandchildren Mara, Charlie, Lex, Emma and Ben; as well as his loving brother and sister, Harland and Kathleen. Noel's career in advertising spanned across three decades.
His extensive experience covered integral areas of the industry. Trained initially in the creative field, he joined Baker Lovick in the '50s.
He climbed the corporate ladder until he moved into account services and was eventually made Senior Vice President - think of the HBO series "Mad Men."
Noel was an avid tennis and squash player and a member of the Badminton & Racquet Club in Toronto and Cedar Springs in Burlington.
Upon his retirement, he returned to his love of painting.
When time permits, we will gather to celebrate Noel while listening to his favourite jazz musician, Duke Ellington. The care and kindness given to Noel by Simone, Kellie, his nurses, and Wemi and the other PSWs, has been truly appreciated.
A heartfelt thank you from the family. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to the Canadian Cancer Society.
