GLADDY,
Dr.
Percy
Vaughan, B.Sc., M.D., (F.R.C.SC)
On September 16, 2003, in his home on the shores of Lake Huron
with his family, Percy died, at the age of 76, after a life filled
with integrity, hard work, dedication and achievement. He leaves
his dear wife, Alexia, and beloved children, Geoffrey, Sarah
(Jonathan), Jennifer and Rebecca, and cherished grand_sons Alexander
and Daniel. He was predeceased by his parents, Arthur and Nellie,
and brother, Leo. Born and raised in Sarnia, Ontario, Percy was
a graduate of Queen's University (Meds '50), with postgraduate
training in Canada and the U.S. in Obstetrics and Gynecology. A
lifelong student of medicine, Percy practiced medicine for over
45 years in Sarnia where he served his community and positively
touched the lives of many mothers and their families. He was
instrumental in setting up the first Emergency Physicians' Service
at St. Joseph's Hospital which provided 24-hour emergency care
for the residents of Sarnia-Lambton. He also set up the first
mother-baby wellness clinic in Walpole Island to provide pre-
and post-natal care. For service to the First Nation community,
he was given the honorary name Mshkikiiwnini (Indian Doctor).
A skilled physician, he will be remembered for his strong moral
code, humour, warmth, availability and concern for others. In
his career and personal life, Percy was guided by his Christian
faith, especially during the last difficult days of his illness
and he remained true to himself determined, strong and willing
to do the work to survive. He had great love for his family and
was the proud father of four Queen's graduates. His example and
principles will remain to inspire his children and all who knew
him. He received excellent medical care and his family wishes
to express their appreciation to Dr. D.

a language, read a book to a child, be kind to an animal, support
universal health care, live at peace with nature.
