Pierre Francois Simard

Peacefully, surrounded by his family in Kemptville District Hospital on Monday March 25, 2024.  Pierre, a man who loved projects, golf and times with close  friends and family. left us at the all- too- young age of 68.  Pierre was the dearly loved husband of Gisela Winter.  He was also a dad to Alex Simard (Liz) and step-dad to Dean Kerr (Meagan).  Perhaps even more importantly, Pierre was a grandfather to Gabi Simard (just 4 months old), Aubrey and Harry Kerr and Fionna Kerr.  Pierre leaves behind a brother, Jacques (Monique) and sister, Jocelyn (Richard) and many nieces and nephews.    Pierre is predeceased by siblings Yollande (Jean), Nicole (Andre) and Francine (Bernard).  Pierre will be much missed by all 3 generations of the Winter family.  Finally, a small but cherished group of dear friends will also be missing Pierre.

By Pierre’s request, cremation has taken place.  There will be no visitation or funeral service.  A Celebration of Life will be held at the Royal Canadian Legion, Branch 212, 100 Reuben Crescent, Kemptville, Ontario on Saturday, April 6th, 2024 from 1 – 4 pm.  Memories will be shared at approximately 2:30 pm.
