Beloved husband of the late Shelagh (nee Dumais), who were married for 50 years. Loving father to Nancy (Jim) and David (Dawn). Cherished grandfather "Poppa" to Erin (John), Brad and Justyn (Lynette). Special and loving great-grandfather to Everly. Predeceased by parents Doug and Marie Lemmon of Cookstown and brother Gord.
A visitation time and service following a death. This enables the family, friends and community to share the sense of loss. The casket is present at the visitation and funeral service, which is held at the funeral home, church or any other facility of the family's choosing. Burial or cremation follows the service.

Our family is so grateful for the help, kindness and guidance that Paul and Ellen Kent gave our family with our Mom’s funeral. The casket spray was exquisite, the refreshments were good and the Minister was amazing. Every detail was handled with dignity and respect to meet our family’s needs. Thank you so much!
