Obituary for Kenneth Carmichael
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our father, Kenneth (Ken) Carmichael in his 77th year. He passed away peacefully with his daughters by his side on Saturday, October 25th 2014 at OTMH. He will now join his beloved wife, Shirley. The family finds great comfort in knowing they are together now. Loving father of Kelly and Lori. He will be sadly missed by his grandsons, Brayden Woodley, Eli and Dylan Popp. Survived by his sister, Carrie Farnsworth and husband Jim of Coldwater ON, and many nieces and nephews. Predeceased by his brothers; Alec, Neil, Ian and sisters; Jean, Edna, Edith, Anne, and Isabel. Forever remembered by his family and friends in the Ottawa Valley, friends in the Standardbred Horse Industry and the numerous friends he met throughout his life. All who met him felt the kindness, he was a warm, humble man who taught us to care about others, work hard and always take the time to help others whenever possible.
