Pam’s Dad passed away this morning at 9 am in the presence of family. As sorrowful as this is, it does mean an end to her Dad’s suffering, and an entrance to his eternal home. Over the last week as he has declined and family visited to say their goodbyes, Dad’s heart and lungs remained strong, allowing many to come by and spend a few precious minutes by his bedside. The family appreciates so much all of these gestures of affection and concern, and we to want to thank you for your prayers and notes.
Visistation will be at Forest Lawn Cemetary on Dundas St. East in London, Ontario on Monday afternoon from 2 to 4, and in the evening from 7 to 9. The funeral service will be held on Tuesday, June 29 at 11 am. We encourage Dad’s many friends and extended family to attend.
Dad was a wonderful man, whose family and friends are his greatest legacy. Please feel comfortable to come by and visit. If you would like to share a remembrance of an event or an interaction, you may do so through the website of the funeral home at www.mcfarlane-roberts.ca by selecting obituaries and then his name. It might take a few more hours before that is active. Dad’s notice and further information will be in tomorrow’s London Free Press. Thank you once again for your prayers. God has certainly blessed through the sad moments of the last few days, and we rejoice in His perfect will and goodness.

Dear Pam and Steve and all the Carter Family,
Please accept my sincere sympathy in the loss of your Dad. He fought the good fight to do what he could to stay with you all, but he is now safe in the arms of Jesus.
Thank you so much for giving me the opportunity to visit with him on Tuesday evening and say Good bye to a very dear Uncle Joe. He was a very special character …a piece of my childhood I will always remember and in later years I so enjoyed stopping by for visits and quite often lunch! I admired his unfailing caring and love for his wife…especially in their last few years together. He has left a legacy of wonderful people in all his children and grandchildren. I know he will be fondly remembered with love by all who knew him.
Love,
Sandra and Family
