Charles Schutte

Schutte, Charles Frederic

August 4th 1931—March 9th 2019

Peacefully at Forest Hill Long Term Care Facility at the age of 87. Long-time partner and friend of Audrey Turner.  Charles will be fondly remembered by his nephew, Peter Cussons (Sheila), and extended family.  Charles will also be greatly missed by his dear friends in the Netherlands, Hildo and Yvonne Proost.  Charles emigrated to Canada from the Netherlands in 1956. An avid collector of books, Charles worked for many years at the National Archives as a book restorer. He also loved classical music, especially opera, and the theatre. He and his partner, Audrey, were long-time supporters and attendees at the theatre festivals at Stratford and Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario.  Respecting his wishes, cremation has taken place.  In lieu of flowers, donations in Charles’ memory may be made to the Alzheimer Society of Canada.
