George “Barry” Kilpatrick of Lucknow, died Saturday, March 16, 2024, in Stratford General Hospital, surrounded by those who loved him. He was in his 80. He was the only son of Laura (Isabel) nee Pollock (2007) and Clifford Elliott Kilpatrick (1993). In his youth, he worked alongside his parents on the family beef farm near Dungannon before the family moved into town (Lucknow) in the early 1990s. Off the farm, he enjoyed his time driving truck for a construction company. Cars of all eras, collecting ball caps, travelling and photography were also early interests. In 2005, he met his life partner, Arlene Falconer. They shared many mutual pursuits – going to dances, country music, attending concerts and plays, and dining out together. Barry will be remembered fondly by his many cousins, as well as Arlene’s family: daughter, Melody Falconer-Pounder, her husband, John Pounder, their children and grandchildren. Barry may have been a very quiet person but his engaging smile and sparkling bright blue eyes spoke volumes. Visitation will be held Thursday, March 21, 2024, from 6-8 p.m. at the MacKenzie and McCreath Funeral Home, Lucknow, as well as one hour prior to the funeral Friday, March 22, 2024, at 2 p.m. Interment, Dungannon Cemetery. Donations to the Wingham and District Hospital Foundation or the charity of your choice, would be appreciated in Barry’s memory. Condolences may be made on-line at www.mackenzieandmccreath.com. |
