DOUGLAS SMITH,
Passed away peacefully with his family at his side on Sunday, December 23, 2012 at the Kirkland & District Hospital. Doug loved working and fixing things especially around the garage. He would assist his neighbours in clearing their driveways and still find time to look after Elsie to whom he was married for 63 years. Elsie and Doug were married at Trinity United Church. They lived and raised their family in Kirkland Lake. In Doug’s earlier years he loved the outdoors and would spend lots of time hunting, fishing and enjoying the catch of the day with his son Bruce. In his later years he learned to spend time with family and his coffee friends Clyde Morgan and Rocky & Linda Charbonneau at Tim Horton’s where they would talk about the old times and gossip. Doug is survived by his loving spouse Elsie; son Bruce (April Emms); grandson Kyle and sister Mabel Gavin as well as his dog Winslow. He was predeceased by his brothers Peter, Charlie and David and in laws Ruby, Alfred, Norman, Howard, Herb and Clifford. The family will receive relatives and friends at the French Family Funeral Home on Thursday, December 27, 2012 from 10:00 a.m. followed by a Masonic Service in the Funeral Home Chapel at 11:30 a.m. with a funeral service at 12:00 p.m. A Reception will follow in the French Family Reception Centre. Doug will be cremated following the service and he will be laid to rest in the Kirkland Lake Cemetery at a later date. Donations in Doug’s memory may be made to the Charity of one’s choice.Offer Condolence for the family of Douglas Smith
