1931 - 2021

With heavy hearts, we announce the sudden passing of our beloved husband, father, grandfather and great grandfather, William Clayton McLaughlin on Saturday, July 3, 2021 at the age of 89.

Clayton is survived by his soul mate of 67 years, Barbara (nee Ringrose); his children Charles “Chuck” McLaughlin and Cathy, Lorrie Brough and Robbie, Michael McLaughlin and Bonnie, Dale McLaughlin and Barb; his grandchildren Carla Wolkins and Adam, Clayton McLaughlin and Valerie, Meagan McLaughlin, Robert Brough and Kayla, Brandon Brough and Paige, Jennifer Doherty and Dave, Brandon Doherty, Darcy McLaughlin and Kalen; great grandchildren Keiran, Charlie, Jake, Hayden Will, Theo and great great grandson Peyton. Also survived by his brother Vern McLaughlin and JoAnne; sisters Elaine Brough and Ken, Nancy Hutchison; brothers-in-law Brian Ringrose and Rita, Richard Ringrose and Diane, Murray Ringrose and Bonnie, Terry Ringrose and Barb; sisters-in-law Gail Millin and Jim, Donna Presley as well as many nieces and nephews.

Clayton is predeceased by his parents Irene and Charlie McLaughlin; brother Wilburt; sisters Ina, Norma and Laura; father and mother –in-law Alberta and Russell Ringrose; brothers-in-law Jackie Ringrose, Bobby Ringrose; sister-in-law Sheila Ferguson and grandson Shane McLaughlin.

Clayton and Barb made their lives in Kirkland Lake where they raised their family. Clayton was the owner of McLaughlin Cartage, later City Movers for many years. He was a long time member of the Kiwanis Club, helping local charities and events. Clayton and Barb enjoyed years at their cottage on Labyrinth Lake fishing and gardening; hunting at the family camp in Matachewan and hosting many large family gatherings at their home. After being briefly separated due to the pandemic, Clayton joined Barb at Teck Pioneer Residence last July. They were able to spend every day together and could always be found sitting side by side holding hands. True love reunited!

The family wish to thank the staff of Blanche River Health – Kirkland Lake Site and Temiskaming Hospital for their kindness and compassion through this difficult time. A special thank you to the staff of Teck Pioneer Residence for the care and love shown to dad. You were his extended family this past year.

Cremation has taken place, service to be held at a later date. Donations to Teck Pioneer Residence in Clayton’s memory would be greatly appreciated.

It was an absolute pleasure to have known Clayton these last few months at TPR. Last Friday I watched Clayton walk up to the bowling table and strike all the pins, with a big smile at the end; while Barb watched from the side. Witnessing their love everyday was a humbling experience. Sending my thoughts and prayers to his family.
