Obituary
Richard “Dick” McFarlane
December 25, 1942 – July 9, 2022
Dick passed away ay home July 9, 2022 from Metastatic Cancer. He was a gentle, kind man who always was quiet but didn’t miss much. He is survived by his wife, Patricia, of 55 years, his two children Kevin and Kristal (Adam), 3 grandchildren: Ellie, Ben and Alissa, and 4 great-grandchildren. He worked for the LCBO both on Bridge Street and Landsdowne Street in Carleton Place. He had wonderful times square dancing and many fun parties but Dick really was a home body. We would like to thank Dr. Spooner and her staff for their support, caring and kindness: Bayshore Palliative care nurses Stephanie and Susan; all our friends and neighbours for their support, sometimes literally after one of his falls, even strangers who helped him up after one of his many falls and keeping an eye for him when he was out battling the dandelions. Joe would have advice. My sister Bev and Melissa being here and helping the weekend he died: family and friends with their messages, phone calls, and offers of any help. Barker’s Funeral Home staff who showed such care and respect when they came to get him and for their care, concern, and advice. My heartfelt thanks and love always to Kevin and Kristal for their support.
We are not having a funeral or wake but will soon have a Celebration of Life when we bury him in his Mother’s site at Capital Memorial Gardens Cemetery. At that time, we are inviting family and friends to come and if you have a story to share, good or bad, please bring it to read. If you are unable to come, please email us one and we will read it. We are going to place them with his urn. We are having a light lunch afterwards and it would be helpful to know approximately how many people plan to attend. The family would like to thank everyone who kept in touch during his illness or kept him in their thoughts.
