Howard Tweddle 1951 – 2020

It is with a lot of emotion that we share Howard’s passing on April 22nd from complications related to COVID-19.

He is survived by his wife Eveline; his children Eva (Adrian), Terence, and Mila (Paul); and his adoring grandchildren Cloé and Katiana (Eva) and Everett and Theodore (Mila). He will also be dearly missed by his brother and sister and extended family in the UK and many friends in Ottawa and around the world.

Howard was born in Colchester, Essex, England on February 15th, 1951. His career took him first to Belgium and then to Canada in 1981.

Howard had a passion for science, engineering and music. Music was a great part of his life from a very young age, bringing him and those surrounding him much joy. Howard was an active member of the local Jazz community in Ottawa. Howard was also very passionate about his career, which he enjoyed until the last month of his life.

Given the present circumstances, we are planning a memorial event at a later date when we can gather together. We also plan to broadcast the event for those who may not be able to attend in person.

We would like to thank the staff at the Queensway Carleton Hospital. They were absolutely wonderful and provided great care to Howard, despite the risks to themselves and their families.
