Phil Lake — Harcourt Park

In Loving Memory of Phil Lake-Born in Windsor, Nova Scotia on June 4, 1948 and passed away in Harcourt Park, Ontario on New Year’s Eve, December 31, 2017. At this point what we know is that Phil was walking home from the neighbours at 10:30 pm and it seems he tripped and fell, rendering him unconscious and unfortunately he did not wake up before he passed away from exposure. Phil was 69. He is survived by his daughter Pamela Lake (John), son Jason Lake (Cassandra) and by his grandchildren Dylan Meade (Bailey), James Meade (Alyssa), and Shay-Leigh Lake. Phil is predeceased by his partner Brenda Bartlett(2014)(her children Kim and Karen Barlett). He is also survived by his sisters and brothers, Barbara, Jean, Joyce, Carol, Mona, Victor, Edith, William (Billy), Garnet, Kenneth (Kenny), Peggy, Wifred (deceased), Shalana (Shirley)(deceased), by their families, and also by his former wife Millicent Lake. He was our best friend and best father you can have. We did everything together. ‘My dad and I often worked together and hunting was our main bonding times and good times we had”. He taught my sister and I so much in life. Pam and the kids would come to the lake and visit dad to share good times. He loved all his friends in Harcourt Park. They broke the mould with Phil. His one liners made everyone laugh and he was always up beat and full of life. He is gone way to early. We will miss you so much and we love you.
