Percy Leo Aldridge was born March 23, 1920 in Quebec, Canada, and passed away in Jamestown, Tuolumne County, California, or Pleasant Hill, Contra Costa County, California. There are two conflicting sources. The date of his passing definitely was August 6, 2006.
Percy was the son of George Henry Georges Aldridge and Harriet "Hattie" Larue (Leroux). His SSN was issued in Washington, D.C. He was baptized at age 9 in Montreal, Canada.
He married Corky on July 4, 1975, in Reno, Nevada. His first marriage was in Verdun, Quebec in 1936. He was married a second time in Reno, Nevada in 1964. His first two marriages ended in divorce.
A veteran of the Canadian WW2 Forces, Percy was a salesman of commercial kitchen equipment and after retirement, a volunteer sign maker for the Forestry Service. He enjoyed gardening, but especially he enjoyed golf.
In 2005, he was living in Jamestown.
Written by his granddaughter:
Percy was married firstly to Esther Ann Connelly October 6 1936, in Verdun, Quebec, with whom he fathered three children, divorced February 25, 1959 in Arlington, Virginia.
Secondly, married to Isobel M. Chalmers on March 30, 1964 in Chicago, Illinois, divorced December 21, 1971 San Mateo County, California.
Thirdly, married Lorene Lollar July 4 1975 in Reno, Nevada.He was predeceased by one of his children, and three of his grandchildren.
In retirement Percy enjoyed his wife's Hallmark gift shop, and volunteering for the Forestry Services, making signs. Much to his amazement he was good at working with his hands. Not much was more enjoyable, though, than golfing.
I'm afraid in his later years he was known to trim his neighbors gardens without asking them first!
He was a veteran of the Canadian WW2 Forces and although he lived in the US for the majority of his life, her never became a US citizen.
He died in a medical facility but was returned home to be buried in the place of his choice, in a grave hand dug by his youngest son, and by his wife's family.
I'm glad we were able to spend your last Christmas together. As you said when I was young - "See you in the funny papers."
Peace and love.
Your granddaughter.
