Obituary of William James Davidson

April 4, 1941 - July 28, 2019

The love of my life entered into eternal rest peacefully in my arms on Sunday July 28, 2019 in his 79^th year.  A kind, gentle man with wit and grace will forever be remembered by his loving wife Lorraine Weingart Davidson of 44 years.  Born in Kapuskasing, he was the son of the late Margaret (Donnelly) and John (Jack) D. Davidson.  Predeceased, by one sister Shirley Valiquette (late Pat).  Left to mourn are his sisters Margaret Jones (Don), Barbara Black (Ernie), Molly Tracy (late Craig) and brother John "Duke" Davidson (late Jackie).  Many nieces and nephews and his friends and relatives in Canada, U.S. and beyond.  Bill was a papermaker in Kapuskasing before moving to his farm on the Opeongo.  His love of family, gardening, travel, animals, furry or feathered and his sharing of books made his world.

A graveside service will be held on Thursday August 1, 2019 at 11 am at Dacre Public Cemetery. Donations in memory of Bill to the Renfrew Victoria Hospital or the Dementia Society would be appreciated.  Online condolences/donations may be made at www.gouletfuneralhome.com
