In memory of those who have Crossed the Bar
HAYDEN, Charles Ross - known to family and friends as Ross, passed away at Hospice Niagara on September 16, 2026, following a brief illness.
Born in Barrie, Ontario, Ross was the son of William R. Hayden, who passed away in January 2026, and Gwyneth E. Robertson.
Ross was the beloved father of Samuel Patrick Hayden (Ashley) of Middle Sackville, Nova Scotia; and brother of Elizabeth Hayden (Alan Shearman). His loss is shared by his former wife, Helen Hayden of Dartmouth, Nova Scotia; and his extended family and loved ones.
As a sailor, Ross served with the Canadian Navy, the federal Department of Fisheries and Oceans, and aboard various private vessels.
Ross was a dedicated gardener, and a familiar and valued member of the Richard Pierpoint Community Gardens where a tree will be planted in his memory. He was a friend to dogs and cats everywhere.
Ross will be remembered for his creativity, his individuality, the life he lived, and the many connections he made along the way.
In Ross's memory, donations to Hospice Niagara or the Lincoln County Humane Society would be greatly appreciated. (The St Catharines Standard 30 Sep 2026)
