Obituary for Garth William Mole

In Loving Memory of Garth William Mole

Passed away peacefully at home at the age of 78 with his loved ones by his side on Tuesday, May 31, 2022.

Beloved husband of Wanda Mole (nee Skinner) for 48 years, and loving father and friend to Dawn and Jay. Son to Bill and Laura Mole and son in law to Jim and Betty Skinner. Garth lived a gratifying life, and was loved by many. The highlight of his life being his children Jay William Mole (April) and Dawn Lea Hurd (Stewart) and his wonderful grandchildren Jordyn, Jaxon, Tenlea and Emmerson. As time passed and the family grew Garth enjoyed a fulfilling life with his family. Several trips to Switzerland and skiing on the West Coast. Garth found joy in spending time with his family snowmobiling, skiing, fishing and in his later years enjoyed spending vacation time in Fort Myers, Florida.

He was a volunteer Firefighter for the Township of Stanhope for over 10 years and received a citation for bravery for his efforts in an ice rescue on Boshkung Lake. A very devoted, generous, and a model man to his family and to all those who had the honour of knowing him. Garth spent many years coaching and volunteering his time to the community. He was a Sales Manager for Lawrason Chemical for several years.

Haliburton is where Garth along with his parents were the founders of Loralea Lodge on Hall’s Lake. He always has lots of stories to share from growing up “way up north”, and had a great memory for events that took place as a youngster. He often talked about his grandmother, and shared memories with many. He was a member of the Boshkung Lake Ski Club and competed from Toronto to Montreal in Expo 1967. Reminiscing will continue once he meets his sole brother Nip again. Garth will be greatly missed, but always remembered.

Friends are invited to a Celebration of Garth’s Life at the Sir Sam’s Ski Hill, 1054 Liswood Rd, Eagle Lake, ON on Saturday, June 25, 2022 from 1:00 until 5:00 pm.

Donations to the Canada (Ontario Division) Kidney Foundation (cheques only) would be appreciated by the family and can be arranged through the Gordon A. Monk Funeral Home Ltd., P.O. Box 427, Minden, Ontario K0M 2K0.
