CLOUTHIER, Wilfred Claude

The Falcon has heard his call and returned to the arm of the Falconer.
Corporal Wilfred Claude Clouthier (born September 6, 1922) passed away peacefully and with love in the arms of his children at the age of 92 on January 24, 2015. A crew commander in the 21st Canadian Armoured Division (Governor General's Foot Guards), Wilfred was a Chevalier (Knight) of the Order of Légion d'Honneur of France and soldiered on in his last moments with honour, pride, and dignity. Wilfred will be deeply missed by his 11 children, 20 grandchildren, 20 great-grandchildren, and seven surviving brothers and sisters. Wilfred was the beloved husband of Nancy (nee Somerville) of Hastings, England, who passed away January 14, 2007. They were born in the same month, and they passed away in the same month. Wilfred was the proud father of John and Kathy Clouthier of Thunder Bay, Michael and Elsie Clouthier of Thessalon, Susan and Barry Knowlton of Napanee, Sandra and special son-in-law Norm McLellan of White Lake, Heather and Dave Campbell of White Lake, Deborah and Brian Clouthier of Stony Plains, Wendy Clouthier of Ottawa, Stephen and Wendy Clouthier of Bedford, Joyce and Marcel Clouthier-Vachon of Fitzroy Harbour, Margaret Clouthier-Young of Arnprior, and Matthew and Hildy Clouthier of Almonte. He was a loving grandfather to Kim, Kristine, John, Kathryn, Mary-Anne, Jennifer, Terry, Kevin, Andrew, Mark, Greg, Chad, Amanda, Craig, Trevor, Scott, Diana, Kyla, Keynan, Kayla, and John. And adoring great-grandfather to Emma, Alex, Jack, Isabelle, Lily, Sarah, Kirsten, Kate, Spencer, Jessica, Kiersten, Preston, Tristan, Sebastian, Abby, Adam, Jake, Caleb, Ruth, and Adara. He was a dear brother to Morgan (the late Eva) Clouthier, Francis (Mildred) Clouthier, Lillian (Paul) Smith, Donna (Prescott) Pierce, Bobby (Carol) Clouthier, Corrine (Bob) Thompson, Larry (Cindy) Clouthier, and Janice (Brian) Clouthier-Bonnar. He was a special brother-in-law to Doris (the late Tom) Rutland of Princes Risborough, England. Wilfred was predeceased by his infant son Paul, infant grandson David Knowlton, infant great-grandson Noah Gascon, sister Irene (John) Ryan and sister Doris (the late Murray) Quattrocchi, and brother Eddie (the late Lola) Clouthier. The legacy of Wilfred Clouthier, his wife Nancy, and their lives shall never die… it shall carry on in the hearts of their children and their children.

Dear Joyce and Deborah,

Thank you for the emails regarding your Dad. Unfortunately, I cannot reply to your messages directly as 'Guest Book' does not provide a reply address.

I would love to send you the other photos that I have and although your Dad didn't tell me a whole lot of detail, I would be more than happy to share what he told me.

You can contact me directly at cjbpayne at yahoo dot com.

Best regards,

Somewhat belated, but I had the pleasure of meeting Wilfred Clouthier in Normandy, France during the D-Day 70th anniversary commemorations.

He spoke to me about his experiences in Normandy in 1944 and kindly allowed me to take a few photographs (including a couple with his family).

A genuine war hero and a perfect gentleman.

It was a real honour to have met him.
