Doiron, Wm. Dominic, age
93, of Pomquet, Antigonish County passed away peacefully in the John
MacLellan Palliative Care Unit of St. Martha’s Regional
Hospital on Monday, August 15, 2022.
He was born in
Pomquet to the late Henry and Julia (Venedam) Doiron on February 23,
1929 sharing this date with his late dear mother and a
niece. After losing his father at the age of four, Dominic
realized early the valuable lessons and rewards of hard work and
taking pride in a job better than done well. At age
eighteen, he began a career in carpentry that took him to all corners
of our dear province and locally working alongside his fellow
carpenters and sharing his knowledge and love of his trade.
He will be remembered as a man full of wisdom, with a logical approach
and a truly kind heart.
On July 26,
1955, he married Marie (Rennie) and for the next sixty-seven years
they enjoyed and cherished sharing their lives together raising their
loving family of six children while living next door to the homestead
where he was raised. Always welcoming family and friends for a visit
and genuinely asking how all were doing in their lives and giving the
secrets of growing a bountiful garden, especially zucchini, even in
his last days.
Dominic, dad,
was a man that liked to keep busy by doing for others and believing
that everyone and everything has a purpose in this life. Whether it
was his trips on the gator over to the farm or up the hill to take in
the view, fixing things that others couldn’t fix or just
watching the passing of days from his rocking chair next to the
window, he valued everything and everyone. He will be fondly
remembered and deeply missed by his family as a loving husband and
father.
He is survived
by his loving wife, Marie (Rennie); children, Linda (Bill) Chisholm;
Virginia Doiron; Kenneth (Marie); Neil; Andrea (Brendan) Jeffrey;
Blaise (Marnie); grandchildren: Joe (Melissa); Aimee (Mike);Duncan
(Lauren); Megan; Courtney; Kelsey; Tyler; Kyle; Rennie; Silver and
Fisher; great grandchildren: Amelia, Lydia and Caleb; sisters: Rita
Landry, Mary Cormier and Adele Benoit; brother,
Francis.
He was
predeceased by sisters, Margaret, and Anna; brothers Georgie and Leo;
sisters-in law, Josephine and Stella; brothers in law, Joseph Landry,
Alex Landry and Robert Cormier; grandchild Michael
Dominic.
