Obituary for Clarence (Clare) Andrew Goddyn
Goddyn, Clarence (Clare) Andrew (February 24,1949 – February 22, 2022) –
It is with sadness, we share the sudden passing of Clarence (Clare) Andrew Goddyn, on February 22, 2022, at the age of 72. Clare will be remembered as a warm, outgoing, and neighbourly person that loved to visit and lived to socialize with friends and family. He liked to tinker and was an avid collector and yard sale goer. His favourite pastime was going to the casino, usually Caesars in Windsor, with close friends. Clare worked at Mastico, then Reiter Automotive for many years until retirement. Although he did not have any of his own children, he will always be remembered as a caring family man and uncle to Jennifer Spietaels (Ron Ward); Christa Spietaels (Ron Bankes); Mandy (Craig Taylor), and great uncle to Madison Cross (Brandon Webster), Tessa Taylor and Leiah Taylor. Also survived by aunts, uncles, cousins and good friends and his casino buddy Raymond DeWeghe. Clare is predeceased by his parents Wilfred Goddyn (1985) and Helen (nee Fenton) Goddyn (2015), and by his sister Brenda (2016) (late Ben Lefebvre (2019)).
In keeping with Clare’s wishes, a public Traditional Funeral Service to celebrate his life will be held on Thursday, March 3rd, 2022, at 11:30 a.m. in the Maurice J. Verhoeve Funeral Homes- Burial and Cremation Services Inc. Chapel, 40 Queen Street, Langton, by Rev. Allan Wilson. Burial follows in Langton Baptist Cemetery.
