McPhee, Clyde D.
1953 - 2014
McPhee, Clyde D. - 61, of Saint John, N.B., formerly of Parrsboro, passed away peacefully Thursday, July 10, 2014 at Bobby’s Hospice in Saint John. Born in Springhill, he was a son of Myrna (Crowe) McPhee and the late George McPhee. Clyde is profoundly missed by his wife, Beverley (Kendrick) McPhee; his children, Christian (Sherri) of Toronto; Rachel (Stéphane), of Edmonton; Michael (Emma), of Halifax; Grampy’s “Little Miss”, his only grandchild, Summer Evangeline; his mother, Myrna (Roy), Amherst; brothers, Gerald (Sarah), Scott (Nancy), all of Parrsboro; nephew, Greg and nieces, Adeline and Emily. He was predeceased by his brother Roger in infancy. Clyde was a fiercely devoted husband and father, gifted draftsman and selfless friend. A 35 year veteran of the marine industry, he demonstrated the same steadfast work ethic that he applied to his personal life. Genuine, with a ‘pun’icious wit, he wasted no time on pretense. Clyde’s devotion to his family extended to his faithful companion ‘Bear’. Visitation 6-8 p.m. on Monday, July 14, 2014 at Smith’s Funeral Home, Parrsboro.
