    ?/b?December 19th, 1932 - November 4th, 2022

    With profound sadness, we announce the passing of John William Kidd, loving husband for 64 years of Leona (Holley) and devoted father to Richard (late Roxanne), Holley (Rodger Gardiner), Beth, and Edward (Hanna). A few weeks shy of his 90th birthday, John died on a sunny autumn day surrounded by his family in the place he was born - on the family farm in The Derry, Beckwith Township. Predeceased by his parents, William Livingstone Kidd and Jeanette (Leach), John is survived by his sister Dorothy Lewis and ten grandchildren: Livingstone, Melissa (Sean), and Grant (Loralie); Casey (Beverley) and Ainsley (Kyle); Katie and Jillian; Jaden, Mia and Ashton. John was also the loving great-grandfather to Duncan, Finley, Keegan, Vivien, Gordon and Angus.

    John attended Carleton Place High School where he was a member of the 1948 E.O.S.S.A. championship football team. John took over the family farm continuing in the footsteps of his father, grandfather and great-grandfather. Married in 1958, John and Leona raised their family on the Kidd farm and continued the generational spirit of community leadership and service. John was elected to Beckwith Township Council in the 1960's serving for 10 years. He was an original member of the Beckwith volunteer fire department starting in 1964. A lifelong historian, his knowledge and historic memory of local lore and lineage were legendary. He regularly hosted genealogists searching for clues to their Lanark County family tree and consulted by historians seeking confirmation of their research.

    Friends may visit the family at the Alan R. Barker Funeral Home 19 McArthur Avenue, Carleton Place, on Friday November 11, 2002 from 3:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. Funeral service in the chapel Saturday November 12, 2022 at 11:30 a.m. Interment to follow at Franktown Public Cemetery. Donations may be made in John's name to the Prospect Church Maintenance Fund (cheques made payable to The Township of Beckwith) or the Carleton Place Hospital Foundation (funds directed to "Healthy Futures. Together!" campaign).
