Paul Duncan Simpson of Ashfield Township, died at the Alexandra Marine and General Hospital, Goderich, Thursday, Sept. 15, 2022, at the age of 64. Born in Wingham, Dec. 17, 1957, he was the son of the late Edith (Elliott) and Donald Simpson. Greatly missed by wife, Brenda; and his siblings, Betty Anne (Rob), Alex (Cindy), Jim, Donald (Dianne), Rod (Annette), Steve (Tracey), Helen (Gord) and Christine (Dave). Much loved by daughters, Braidyn (Steve) and Brianne (Curtis); son, Justin (Jen); and grandchildren, Colton, Jaxson, Olivia, Jaelyn, Keegan, Lillian, Brantley, Nolan, Nova, Shelby and Tyler. Also survived by sisters-in-law, Debbie (Bob), Lisa (Shawn), Angela (Paul) and Janice (Harry); father-in-law, Brian Berry; and several nieces and nephews. Honourary Papa of Gerard, Jack and Kolette Gillespie. Ever missed by his faithful companion and co-pilot, Bronagh. Besides his parents, he is predeceased by brothers, Bill and Elliott Simpson; and mother-in-law, Dorothy Barry. Paul was an electrician for many years but had also travelled throughout Canada working on the oil fields. He lived in Toronto until coming home to farm in Kintail, a place where he had always had a deep family connection. Farming continued to be his passion. He met his saving grace, Brenda, and soon loved being a papa. He will forever be remembered for his opinion that “everything tastes better with ketchup.” A graveside service will be held at the Kintail Cemetery, Tuesday, Sept. 20, 2022, at 2 p.m. Paul’s request was for all attending to please wear something colourful - anything but black! Donations to the Canadian Addison Society or Canadian Cancer Society are greatly appreciated as expressions of sympathy; arrangements entrusted to the MacKenzie and McCreath Funeral Home, Lucknow.
