GUENTHER: Peacefully, at University Hospital, London, on Friday, April 5, 2024, Eugene Ross “Gunner” Guenther of (Sarepta) Dashwood after a month of unexpected viral encephalitis, age 77. Dear husband of 50 years to A. Jean (Stone) Guenther. Loving father of Lori and Wayne Manson and Steven and Sarah (Datema) Guenther. Adored “Papa” to Alexa and Rya Guenther and leaves behind his grand puppies Wilo (2024) and Oakleigh. Born to parents Ross (2004) and Pauline (Eagleson) Guenther (2015). Dear brother and brother-in-law to Joan and the late Jim Scott (2012), Les Stone and Patricia (Stone) Bowers. Special uncle to Mike and Kim Scott, Rob and Holly Scott, Paul Scott (1986), Jason and Tina Scott and their families, along with nieces, nephews and their families in Hamilton. Eugene was a licensed welder for many years during his working career. Fishing was his favorite sport and gave him such great pleasure along with his wife, children, grand-daughters and best friends. He loved camping at Rondeau Bay for the last 13 years where fishing off of his boat was the best time ever. He was a very good “MR FIXIT” and spent many hours tinkering in his shop along with sharpening chain saw blades for many people. Gardening was also a favorite hobby with his harvest being consumed all winter long for many years. To honour his wishes cremation has taken place and no formal services will be held. A celebration of life may take place in the future. T. Harry Hoffman & Sons Funeral Home, Dashwood entrusted with arrangements.
