Obituary of Pierre (Pete) Daudlin
Daudlin, Pierre (Pete)
« A father is neither an anchor to hold us back, nor a sail to take us there, but a guiding light whose love shows us the way. » – Author Unknown.
On Sunday, March 7, 2021, at the age of 84, our father and our guiding light, Captain Pierre (Pete) Daudlin, dropped anchor and peacefully entered into eternal rest. Pete is predeceased by his loving wife and ‘catch of his life’, Carolyn (2013). Mourning his death, are his deckhands – son, Ken (Shelly), daughters, Michelle Carvalho (Mark) and Renee Daudlin-Iacobelli (Richard), grandchildren, Michael, Brandi (Ryan), Jacqueline (Chris), Ashley (Danny), Sarah (Eric), Hannah, Lexy and great grandchildren (Bria, Blake, Colton, Wyatt and Lucas).
Pete will be missed by his loving sister, Carmel (Gary) Fleming, in-laws Ronald Gagnon, Lloyd (Candy) Gagnon, Donald (Mae) Gagnon, Allan (Sheila) Gagnon, Lionel Poisson, Marlene (Paul) Renaud, Sheila Gagnon, Denise (Zoli) Voros and Angie Bernard. Pete is predeceased by his parents Noah and Majella Daudlin, sister Claudette (Bill) Snyder, brother Gerald Daudlin, In-laws, Adelard and Mable Gagnon, Vivian (Pete) Maurice, Arlene Gagnon, Jeanette Gagnon, Maurice Gagnon and Julia Gagnon. It is impossible to count the number of people who knew and loved our father – he made friends wherever he went.
As owner of Daudlin Fisheries and as Captain for Omstead’s Food, Pete spent over 4 decades working within the commercial fishing industry. In his spare time, he enjoyed golfing, shooting pool and playing cards with friends and family. Before recently moving to Leamington to be closer to his children, Pete was a proud member of the Wheatley community where he was a lifetime member of Talbot Trail Golf Club and faithful parishioner of Our Lady of Most Blessed Sacrament Church.
Our father’s journey over the last year was a true demonstration of strength, faith, and determination. His unwavering ‘love has shown us the way’ and always provided a safe harbour for us.
And so for now, Captain Pete Daudlin, we wish you « fair winds and following waters ».
At Pete’s request, cremation has taken place. A mass and celebration of life will be held at a later date. Memorial donations may be made to Erie Shores Hospice-Erie Shores Health Foundation or St. Michael’s Parish. Friends may send condolences at www.reidfuneralhome.ca.
