DAWE, Maurice Richard - Sadly, in the afternoon of Sunday, March 5th, 2023, Maurice Richard Dawe passed away peacefully at age 92 at Amica Little Lake Retirement Residence in Barrie, Ontario. Only 5 days short of his 93rd Birthday on March 10th. He will be fondly remembered for being a strong Irishman born in Lisburn, Ireland and known for his incredible ‘Cheshire’ smile. Also, a proud Navy man and Korean War Veteran. He always had an incredible passion for travel and a great love of ships. He decided it was time to join his wife, ‘Joy’, who he loved and missed so dearly.
