Henry "Douglas" Clinch

1943-2023

Henry "Douglas" Clinch

The passing of Henry "Douglas" Clinch, husband of the late Dorothy "Eileen" (Brown) Clinch, occurred at the Grand Manan Hospital, Grand Manan NB on April 17, 2023. Born in Saint John NB on August 5, 1943, he was a son of the late William Clinch and Bessie McLean. A loving father, grandfather, great-grandfather and brother, Doug will be greatly missed by his children William "Billy" Clinch (Amy Gaddas), Ian Clinch (Cantrese), Todd Clinch (Stacey) and Tina Wilkinson (David); many grandchildren and great-grandchildren; and several nieces, nephews and cousins. In addition to his parents and his wife of 59 years, Eileen, Doug was predeceased by one grandson: Warren Chandler.

Prior to retirement, Doug worked hard as a fisherman and also did construction work with E.C. Dakins & Son Construction, the Department of Transportation, and also was employed with Griffin & Sons Concrete. In his retirement years he spent many hours working at his hobby, working in his woodshop building many projects. Whether it was for family or friends or items for donations to fundraisers, when driving around the island it is very common to spot one of his finished projects in someone’s yard. Doug also enjoyed his daily drives "around the block" as he called it, and stopped from time to time to say a friendly hello to those he met along the way. 

Arrangements in the care of the St. George Funeral Home (755-3533) 26 Portage Street, St. George NB. Resting at the Immanuel Family Church, Grand Manan NB with visiting on Wednesday from 2-4 and 6-8 pm. The service will be held at the church on Thursday at 1:00 pm followed by the interment in the Maple Grove Cemetery. In Doug’s memory, donations to a charity of the donor’s choice would be appreciated by the family.
