All,
Pat is currently resting at Malcolm, Deavitt & Binhammer Funeral Home, 141 Renfrew Street, Pembroke (613 732 3637). In accordance with Pat’s wishes, the family will not hold a wake or visitation. Again, in accordance with Pat’s wishes, there will be no formal funeral service and he will be cremated. A memorial service will be held at the Legion in Petawawa, Details are yet to be confirmed. Tentative date is this coming Sat, 18 Oct. I will be able to confirm specific timings and the date once the Legion confirms the availability of their facility.
Cards of condolence and sympathy are welcome and can be sent to his wife Cathy in care of their daughter, Klya Buffet, at 3220 Dundonald Drive, Petawawa, K8H 2V1. More to follow once I have confirmed the memorial details. Pro Patria.

As you can see below timings have now been sorted out. Dress for the occasion is jacket and tie (Regt blazer and tie if you have it) w/medals. The Legion has asked me to come up with a ball park figure on attendance. I’ve already heard from Kim McAndrew and Steve Anderson. Please let me know if you and your spouse are attending or if you know of anyone else. Piper is coming from our Branch, Stewart MacDonald. If any of you wish to say a few words it will be welcome. Again please let me know and I’ll give the Padre a heads up. At this stage, I intend to say a few words on behalf of the assn.
Thanks goes to the national side of the house in getting the word out so quickly and sending a sympathy card to Cathy. I’ll be following up with a special card from the Branch here as well. Pro Patria.
Timings have now been confirmed. The memorial service will be held at 1400 hrs at the Petawawa Legion on Sat 18 Oct. Those attending should be seated no later than 10 mins prior. The service will be followed by a light lunch provided by the Legion. The presiding Chaplain will be Padre Lavoie from the Base Chaplaincy. Anyone wishing to say a few words on behalf of Pat should let Padre Lavoie know prior to the service. Pro Patria.
