WILLIAM “DUNCAN” SMITH
1919 - 2013
On Wednesday, July 10, 2013 Duncan
passed away at Deer Lodge Centre at the age of 94 years.
Duncan was the beloved husband of
Mildred (nee Longstaffe) for 67 years; devoted father of five children, Pam (Dennis
Hientz) of Brandon, Gary (Carol Ross) of Winnipeg, Virginia of Victoria, BC and
deseased Pat (Pam’s twin) husband Bob Clarke of Gimli, MB and Grant (1983); seven
grandchildren and spouses; 13 (plus) great grandchildren; also many nieces;
nephews; and three deceased brothers in law, Ted, Gordon and Fred Longstaffe.
Dunc grew up and educated in East
Kildonan and Wesley College. He was an only child of W.J. Smith and Isabel (nee
McLean). He served overseas in the R.C.A.F. and returned on V.J. Day after nearly
five years service in the British Isles and India. Duncan had a long and
successful career in his own pulpwood business and retired in 1983. He enjoyed
many years at Falcon Lake, Star Lake, extended winter holidays in Texas and
several overseas trips to various locations. He leaves a legacy to be admired and
followed by his children as well as many happy memories.
We shall remember and honour our
husband, father, grandfather and great grandfather at a family gathering.
Interment will be held in Elmwood Cemetery in the family plot.
We wish to thank Tower 6 at Deer
Lodge Centre and the many dedicated staff who treated Duncan so well for his
two years time with them. He will be a hard act to follow.
