Obituary for Earl Douglas Arthur

ARTHUR, Earl Douglas, 72, of Trenton, Ontario passed away peacefully on Friday April 27, 2018 at the Belleville General Hospital. Born on April 3, 1946 at the Belleville General Hospital to the late Glenn and Edna (Hawkins) Arthur, he lived in Trenton, Ontario for his entire life. Earl is survived by his loving wife of 48 years, Gaile (Worthing) Arthur. He was a loving and supportive father to his daughter Anne Arthur, of Toronto, and her partner Ryan, and Andrew Arthur, of Stockdale, and his partner Kim. Earl was a very proud grandfather to his three beloved grandchildren - Cameron, Caleb, and Mara. He will be missed by his siblings - Linda Coffee (Bob), Cathy Clark, Sandra Cranswick (Dave), Murray Arthur (Mary) and Marvin Arthur (Deb). He is also survived by his mother-in-law, Bunnie Worthing, and brother-in-law Glenn Worthing. As well, Earl will be greatly missed by many other extended family members, friends, and colleagues with whom he shared many laughs and good times. Earl was a proud member of the Institute of Power Engineers, and spent much of his career working as a stationary engineer at Domtar/Norampac in Trenton, Ontario. He was a lifelong learner, filled with curiosity, who took great pride in his work. Earl enjoyed spending time with friends and family, debating any topic under the sun. He loved nothing more than a good joke and a laugh. Earl was always there to help friends with household projects, advice, or whatever else they needed him for - especially if there was an opportunity to catch up over a drink once the work was done. His children will remember him as a quirky, funny, and outspoken father who encouraged them to pursue their goals, believe in themselves, and live life to the fullest. As per Earl's wishes, he will be remembered with joy and happiness at a Celebration of Life on Saturday June 16, 2018 from 2:00 to 8:00 p.m. at Earl and Gaile's home (962 Stockdale Road, Trenton). All are welcome to attend and celebrate Earl's life with a potluck BBQ.  In lieu of flowers, please make a donation to the Heart and Stroke Foundation (www.heartandstroke.com) or to the charity of your choice in Earl's name. The family would like to thank staff at Kingston General Hospital and Belleville General Hospital for their kindness and dedication over the past two years, with a special thank you to KGH's Cancer Centre. Arrangements entrusted to the RUSHNELL FUNERAL CENTRE, 60 Division Street, Trenton (613-392-2111). On-line condolences at www.rushnellfamilyservices.com
