2021

***DUE TO THE RECENT SPREAD OF THE COVID-19 VIRUS, THE MEMORIAL SERVICE FOR DELMAR IS BEING POSTPONED TO A DATE YET TO BE DETERMINED***BRASCH, Delmar – Passed away at the Toronto General Hospital on February 23, 2020 at the age of 68. He was predeceased by his father Daniel Brasch and his mother Dora (née Marquardt). He was also predeceased by his infant niece Sarah.  He is survived by his wife Vivianne (née Castonguay) of Kirkland Lake, his brothers Kenneth and Darcy (Karen) both of Pembroke, his nephews Ian Brasch (Leanne), Wade Brasch (Melissa), Joshua Brasch (Ginger), Timothy Brasch (Amanda), his nieces Tracey Crigger (Darrell), Kelly Yantha (Richard) all of the Pembroke area. He is also survived by his in-laws Margot (Norm) Jolette, Lucille Dinel, Marcel Castonguay (Jeanne), numerous great-nieces, nephews and friends.Delmar was born in Pembroke and travelled to Kirkland Lake to attend Northern College in the 60’s.  From that moment on, he always considered himself as a Kirkland Laker. He also had a soft spot for the home he had at the Indian River Club in Vero Beach, Florida. Upon graduation, he worked many years at Heath & Sherwood (64) Ltd., as a mechanical engineer technologist designing mine mill sampling equipment and developing his love of mining and gold stocks. From 1990 to 2011 he owned and operated BDR Drug Mart alongside his wife.  He never considered himself a “retired” man, only one who was jobless which he had imprinted on a vanity license plate “JB LESS”. He loved golfing and had many opportunities to play a round with good friends and family. He cherished each and every round he played.Donations:Temiskaming Hospice Palliative Care

My deepest sympathy on your tragic loss. We have lost a true gentleman and sports lover.

Abe Aidelbaum, March 1, 2021

To my dear sister Viv Words fail in expressing the sadness for the sorrow you are feeling. Remember the good times they will lighten your load. A sarcastic old man once said « I played golf most of my life and waisted the rest ». Since he is going to be playing a lot of golf i pray his drives will be long and his putts will be straight. And every time i play over water i will always remember what Del always forgot : i can play one more club or two more balls! May he rest in peace and may you find comfort and strength in those who love you. Always in our thoughts and in our prayers Love Marcel, Jeanne, Jamie, Marc , Jennifer, Abbigale,, Sebastian, Justin, Jemma

Marcel Castonguay, March 1, 2021

Jeanne Schmidt, March 1, 2021

Dear Viv, So sorry for your loss. Del was a great guy. I had the pleasure of learning the mineral processing business from him and working with him at Heath & Sherwood. He always brought so much knowledge to our discussions and when you were done, you had everything there was to know! Customers loved him because they learned so much from him…even if he talked right through quittin’ time! Gone to early. Glad you had some quality years together in retirement. I’ll miss him. Mike M

I will never forgot the support, care and generosity you both showed to me as a young professional in my first pharmacist position. I truly felt as though I was part of your family because I was treated as such. I learned a lot about customer service and staff appreciation from both of you. You, Lucy and your whole family are in our thoughts, please let us know if we can do anything. With love, Josh and Lauren OConnor-Byer
