Obituary of Allan Smith

It’s with sadness that we announce the passing of Allan “Bucky” Smith of Rhoddy’s Bay, December 7, 2024 in his 82^nd year.

Devoted and loving husband of Jean (nee Lyons) for over 58 years.

Cherished dad of Sandy, Bill (Amy Dahm) and Suzie.

Proud grandpa of Lucas, Sam, Liam, Gabe and Ben.

Loved and respected by the Lyons and Theberge families.

Born on Elgin Street on April 21, 1943 in Arnprior to Bill and Margaret (nee Helferty) Smith, Allan was a true Prior boy who made many great friends through sports and activities.

An unassuming, gentle man, he actively contributed to the community as past president and lifetime member of the Arnprior Optimist Club, past president of the Arnprior Curling Club, director and worker at the Arnprior Food Bank, member of the Sand Point Cemetery Committee and was always willing to lend a helping hand.

Bucky respected and was respected by his fellow workers at Smith’s Construction.

Allan died as he lived his life; with quiet dignity, grace, humour and a twinkle in his eye surrounded by his loved ones.

His private care and arrangements have been entrusted to the Pilon Family Funeral Home.

Spring interment will take place at Sand Point Cemetery near his beloved home in Rhoddy’s Bay.

Allan was well cared for by the staff at the

Queensway Carleton and Arnprior Hospitals.  Special thanks and appreciation go to Dr Rivington and Dr Greenough and to the superb nurses who cared for Allan.
