Clifford Allan DOBB

DOBB, Clifford Allan, MD. Born July 3, 1924 in Eatonia, Saskachewan. Passed away peacefully October 28, 2009 in Carleton Place in the comfort of his home of many years. He leaves to mourn his beloved wife, Grace Janet McEwen, daughter Cathie Kryczka (Andy) and three cherished grandchildren: Jeremy, Roselyn and Claire. Caring brother of Kay Zeman and Walter (Gladys). Predeceased by his brothers Edgar and Douglas. Cliff will be sorely missed by friends, colleagues and family, especially sister-in-law Edie and her husband Reg Holliday, and Linda and Carleton Brown. He will be missed, too, by his border collie, Kelsey, who covered so many miles with him through the streets and parks of Carleton Place. Cliff was priviledged and humbled to serve his community as a family doctor for many years. He goes to his eternal rest with quiet dignity and deep appreciation for those who cared for him through his illness. No more on call - just long strolls, many Sudokus, a little Gilbert and Sullivan and a garden full of roses as beautiful as his own. Ever the teacher, Cliff asked that his body be donated to the University of Ottawa Division of Anatomy. Friends may call at the Carleton Place Chapel of Tubman Funeral Homes, 61 Lake Avenue West, on Saturday, November 21st for visiting from 1:00 until 3:00 p.m. followed by a brief memorial service. Donations, if you wish, to Canadian Cancer Society or Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. And, in Cliff's memory, please offer a small kindness to someone who needs it.
