McLOUGHLIN,
Joseph P.B., B.A.Sc. 4T8, P.Eng.
Peacefully and with grace, at home with his family, on June 2,
2008, in his ninetieth year. Predeceased in 2001 by his beloved
wife, Catherine (née
HOAKEN,) and in 1992 by his dear sister,
Sheila. He takes with him on his last journey the love and gratitude
of his children, David (Brenda,) Elaine (Maj. Chris
McLEAN,)
and Caroline, and their families. Our father was born in Greenwood,
British
Columbia, to Joseph J.
McLOUGHLIN, M.A., of Cloghere,
Co. Mayo, an itinerant schoolmaster and missionary, and his wife,
Margaret (née
BINGHAM,) the daughter and sister of a family that
left Co. Roscommon to homestead in Ontario and Saskatchewan.
He served as an artillery officer from 1943 to 1945, joined Ontario
Hydro upon graduating as an electrical engineer, and was a valued
designer of power protection systems until his retirement in
1984, after which he was recruited for several projects on a
consulting basis. We would like to express our appreciation to
Dr. John VU,
Allison
RIDDELL, R.N., and the rest of the palliative
care team at Durham Access to Care, and in particular to Jean
RAMLACKHAN and
Ed SAMONTE for helping our father enjoy his final
months in the ease and comfort he so thoroughly deserved. A memorial
service in celebration of his life will take place at St. Dunstan
of Canterbury Anglican Church, 56 Lawson Road, Scarborough, at
11: 00 a.m. on Friday, June 6. In lieu of flowers, donations to
the Canadian National Institute for the Blind or the Heart and
Stroke Foundation would be gratefully acknowledged.
