Jorge Ador-Dionisio passed away peacefully at home on Aug. 9, 2023. Born in Manila, Philippines, on Aug. 24, 1946, his family was his heart and life's purpose. He was a devoted husband to Kaye, his partner of nearly 45 years. He was an unconditionally proud and supportive Dad to Kara (Ador-Dionisio) and Anna (Cowen), known simply to him as Bear and Bean; his girls were his world. He eventually (and not even reluctantly) welcomed his dashing sons-in-law, Ryan Turner and Darrell Cowen. But his greatest joy came from his cherished grandchildren, Elly & Leo and Myles & Nolan, who miss their Papa / Lolo with all their hearts.
Jorge is survived by his beloved siblings: his sister Nette Devilla (and her late husband Guillermo De Villa) and his brother Saturnino Ador-Dionisio (and his wife Evelyn). He cherished his nieces, nephews, and great-nephews who loved their "Uncle Bam" dearly.
Dr. Jorge Ador-Dionisio graduated from the University of the East in Manila, Philippines, in 1973 before embarking on his radiology residency at McMaster University in Canada. He graduated in 1979, marked by the passing of his final board exams the day his first daughter was born (and as John McEnroe won the U.S. Open).
With a career spanning over 40 years, Dr. Dionisio played a pivotal role in establishing the radiology department of Grey Bruce Health Services, serving as chief radiologist for over a decade.
Jorge's beautiful and skilled guitar playing was the soundtrack of our childhood and the heart of our home. He approached life with curiosity and an out-of-the-box mindset, embracing lifelong learning, many (often quirky) hobbies and passions and gathering numerous friendships along the way.
This year has broken our hearts; your love and support through this difficult time have meant the world to us.
