Karl H Dore
1924-2021
Karl H Dore, of Fredericton and Southampton, died peacefully
at the York Care Centre, at the age of 97, on February 27, 2021. Born
in Southampton on January 25, 1924, he was the son of William and
Beryl (Haines) Dore, in a family with eleven children, all dear, all
close.
Survived by children Mary Phillips (Darrell) of New Maryland,
Karl J Dore of Fredericton, Charlotte Sheppard of Fredericton;
grandchildren Timothy Phillips (Janet), Greg Phillips (Caroline),
Natalie Underhill (Scott), Mitchell Dore, Katherine Jardine (Tim),
Glen Sheppard, Paul Sheppard (Kate); great grandchildren Ryan, Evan,
Gregory, Andrew and Jane Phillips, Julia and Addison Underhill, Ryan,
Halle and Meghan Jardine, William, Thomas, Peyton and Alex Sheppard;
sister Vivian Tyler of Toronto; brothers Eldon Dore (Velma) of Douglas
and Dean Dore (Barbara) of Southampton; many nieces and
nephews.
Predeceased by daughter-in-law Shirley (Hagerman) Dore;
son-in-law Ian Sheppard; mother of his children, Geraldine Dore;
sisters Nora Fox, Ellen Morehouse, Geraldine Patterson, Sarah Kennedy;
brothers Lloyd, Elwood, and John.
Everyone who knew Karl will remember his warm smile and that
mischievous twinkle in his eye. He was a people person. He had a
remarkably varied and successful career. Those with memories of the
‘50s and ‘60s will remember his sporting goods
business, first on York Street and then at 361 Queen Street. He also
had a general repair business, dating from the ‘40s at his
George Street home and then at his Queen Street building. A man of
great ability, he had a reputation as someone who could and would fix
anything. With Karl it was customer first, profit second. A kind and
generous man, Karl had great confidence and great optimism. He also
had the gift of curiosity.
The family is very grateful for excellent medical care
by Dr Srinivasan, Dr Khaleduzzaman, and the many
doctors, nurses, and staff of DECH, and excellent nursing home care at
Eden’s Retirement Villa and York Care Centre.
A funeral service for invited guests will take place at J.A.
McAdam Memorial Chapel on Thursday, March 4, 2021 at 2 pm with Rev.
Ralph Irving officiating. For those unable to attend, there will be a
live stream of the service at the following link: vimeo.com/518295449
. Interment will be held at the Fredericton Rural Extension Cemetery
at a later date. Anyone who wishes to do something in Karl’s
memory is encouraged to make a donation to the Nackawic Baptist
Church, the Canadian Cancer Society or to someone in need.
