It is with great sadness that the family announces the passing of Elwood at his home in Burlington, on February 22, 2017, at the age of 90. Beloved husband and best friend of Donna for 57 years. Loving father of Laurie (Mark Anderson), Diana Robichaud (Wayne Hudecki) and Mark Taplin. Proud grandfather of Maegan Haynes (Matt), Jenna and Wyatt Anderson and Michael Taplin. Elwood was predeceased by his siblings Allie Brousseau (late Don), Rene Pollack (late Les), Jessie Armstrong (late Willard), Bert Taplin (Helen) and Ruth Haggerty (late Bill). Elwood was truly the family patriarch. He was a retired teacher who loved spending time with his family and friends. He was also a friend to his community as a long-time member of Appleby United Church. Elwood was an avid reader, loved animals and enjoyed the tranquility of the family cottage. Cremation has taken place. Visitation at SMITH'S FUNERAL HOME, 1167 Guelph Line (one stop light north of QEW), BURLINGTON (905-632-3333), on Saturday, February 25, 2017 from 3:30 - 6 PM.

For those who wish, donations in memory of Elwood to Appleby United Church, the Heart & Stroke Foundation or the Canadian Arthritis Society would be sincerely appreciated by the family.
