E Russell Oke burial

[EdCan]

Is anyone able to do a lookup for headstone info for E Russell Oke who is buried in Mt Pleasant Cemetery, Toronto. I know almost nothing about him but I think he died about 1990 and that his wife name was Joan.

I assumed that Joan was still living and Catherine's obit confirmed it so thanks for that.
Thanks RK - much appreciated

There is mention of Ernest Russell in an ebook by Harold L Mackay titled "Delightful Memories of People and Places".
