It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Dwight William Benjamin McFarlane, age 61, on Saturday, April 22, 2006 at the Sault Area Hospital, Plummer Oncology Site. Dwight’s last hours, after a valiant battle with cancer, were spent in the company of his family and closest friends. He took his last breath cradled in the arms of his beloved wife, Carol (nee Lazarovitch), best friend and soul mate for 38 years. Dearest son of Rodney and Margaret McFarlane (nee Yantha) of Pembroke, Ontario. Beloved son-in-law of Jeanette Lazarovitch (nee Ksionzek) and the late Stanley. Dearest brother of David (Audrey) of Port Coquitlam, B.C., Michael (Brenda) and Colleen Reynolds (Darrell) of Pembroke, Ontario and the late Roy of Montreal. Dearest brother-in-law of Ken Lazarovitch (Anona) of Burlington, Ontario. Beloved uncle of Kelly Ann McFarlane of Montreal, Shawn McFarlane (Chantal) of Douglas, Ontario, Paul McFarlane (Traci), Adam McFarlane and Elissa McFarlane all of Port Coquitlam, B.C., Michael Lazarovitch of Toronto and Thomas Lazarovitch of Burlington. Great uncle of Isabella McFarlane of Montreal and Harley McFarlane of Port Coquitlam. Sadly missed by his aunts and cousins, his close friends, golf buddies, curling and slowpitch teammates. Dwight will be fondly remembered by the many students, parents and colleagues whose lives he touched in his 33 years of teaching. Dwight was a wonderful role model to all. His love of life, compassion, integrity, wit, loyalty, cheerful optimism, courage and determination to succeed at everything he put his mind to are qualities we all cherished in him. He brought out the very best in all of us and our lives are richer for having known him. God has taken home one of His best.
