Obituary
Passed peacefully away in the arms of his loving wife, on Sunday, September 1, 2024 at Health Science Center, Neil Patrick Smith.
Predeceased by his father, Lionel P. Smith Jr, grandparents Frank and Isabel Lawlor, Mother-in-law Alice Druken and Father-in-law Edward Druken, Uncle Peter Lawlor, (Esther, deceased) and Uncle Derek Lawlor
Leaving to mourn his wife, Darlene Druken, son Jordan (Katelyn Short-Gardiner), daughter Allie (Curtis Mullally), 2 darling granddaughters Evelyn and Ellice. His mother, Mary Smith and step-father Paul Knight, brothers Andrew (Angel) and Jody (Heather). 3 nephews Christian Smith (Justine, Lacey), Ben Smith (Sarah) and Logan Smith and 1 niece Jorja Smith. Aunts Rita Pearce (Lewis, deceased) and Agnes Poole (Ross).
Neil loved to fish, especially when he got to go to the Witless Bay Line with Nan and Pop Lawlor. He couldn’t wait for Friday to come. Once he could see Isabel come down Prescott Street, he was running out the door.
Neil traded a lot of his fishing time to spend time with the children. He would often pack the 2 of them up and off to the cabin for the weekend. They really enjoyed going to see Nan and Poppy Smith and Granny Lawlor
He enjoyed sports and passed his passion on to Jordan. He coached Jordan from novice to Bantam, and returned back to novice with Jordan by his side, he coached many many hockey teams, and he loved it. And he especially loved baseball, coaching teams there as well. It was through sports that many a lasting friendship developed. If Jordan had a game or tournament, we would pile into the car and off we would go. Many of the other players had sisters around Allie’s age and we raised our families together. Fast forward and Jordan is still playing ball and his teammates have young children and the long time friendships are already beginning to form.
But I think his greatest love was music. That would be the essence of who Neil was. He absolutely loved getting into deep discussions about artists, albums, concerts, the entire music concept. He was as proud as a peacock when Allie developed the same interests. It didn’t matter the genre, he could listen to just about anything. I can see Allies love of music grow exponentially in the last few years.
He will be missed on so many levels
