William Argue

June 25, 1929 – November 4, 2014

Peacefully at Fairview Manor in Almonte on Tuesday, November 4, 2014 at age 85. Beloved husband and partner of Kathleen (Conley) Argue for 61 years. Proud and loving father of John (Janie) , Anne (Allen Gardiner), Dan (Deborah), Alan (Barb Birtch), Fred (Patricia) and Ken (Christine). Special Grandpa to Kathy, Meghan, Alison, Christopher, Steven, Thomas, Liane and Amanda and proud Great Grandpa of Finn, Case and Tripp, Ellie and Leiah. Will be missed by his sister Barbara Vance, sister in law Evelyn Conley and his many nieces, nephews and flying friends. Predeceased by his parents John and Abigail (Alderson) Argue, sister Betty Bradley and brother Robert Argue. A graduate of Kemptville Agricultural College (1946), Bill farmed on the family homestead outside of Carp for over 60 yrs. Past President of Carp Agricultural Society 1967. Bill enjoyed a lifelong love of aviation. In his "retirement" he built a Pegazair aircraft, hangar and landing strip on the farm. He was a talented craftsman who built meticulously, he valued quality and precision. Bill's sense of humour and generous smile will be forever remembered by all who knew him. In keeping with Bill's wishes there will be no visitation or funeral service. The family’s heartfelt thanks go to the staff of Almonte Country Haven and Fairview Manor who cared lovingly for Bill the past 2 years. In memoriam donations to St Paul's United Church, Carp or to a charity of ones choice would be appreciated by the family.
