Loving father of Jason (Heather). Proud grandfather of Aiden and Tanner. Dear brother of Anne, John, Cathy, Lia, Teresa, Bonnie and the late Mary and Liz.
Case was born in Holland and raised near Barrie, Ontario. After serving 20 years in the Canadian Armed Forces, he enjoyed life to its fullest in Collingwood, Barrie, Mississauga, Woodstock and Midland. He exemplified the characteristics of honesty, integrity, loyalty, work ethic, compassion and love. Of all his accomplishments, none meant more to him than family.
