<div itemprop="description">DORAN, William Elmer &quot;Red&quot; <br />It is with sadness the family of Red Doran announces his passing at St. Joseph's at Fleming, on Thursday, January 30, 2014, aged 87. Loving husband to Olive Teresa (Scott) (predeceased in 1994). He is survived by children Jim (Michelle Green), Edmonton, AB; Michael (Norma), Peterborough; Bob (Nancy Misener), Sharon, ON; Linda Viscardis (Dennis), Peterborough; Laurie McAnany (Ed), Guelph, ON; and Greg (Wendy), Quispamsis, NB, and leaves behind grandchildren Laura and Rob Viscardis; Liam and Conor Doran; Matthew and Lauren McAnany; Geoffrey and Reilly Wortman. <br />Born in Emily Township (Ennismore), 2 April, 1926, son of the late William Austin Doran and Mary Loretta Carroll, he was brother to Michael John &quot;Jack&quot; Doran and his wife Nellie Lamb, both deceased, of Calgary, AB; Theresa Doran (deceased); Patrick &ldquo;Pat&rdquo; Vincent Doran and his wife Margaret Crough, both deceased; Francis &quot;Frank&quot; Doran and Martha Bloski, both deceased; Gerard &quot;Gerry&quot; Doran (deceased) and his wife Carmen Giardino; Joseph &quot;Joe&quot; Doran and his wife Laureen Doris. <br />An employee of General Electric for more than 40 years, Red was also a veteran of WWII. Outside work, though, his interests were largely outdoors - hardly a day went by without Red being seen &quot;puttering around the yard&quot;, going for a long &quot;buzz&quot; in the car along back country roads, or simply heading by the airport to &quot;watch the kites fly&quot;. When Olive was alive, he was often close-by as she worked to trace both sides of our family tree. <br />The family will receive friends on Tuesday February 4, 2014 from 10 am &ndash; 11 a.m. at the NISBETT FUNERAL HOME, 600 Monaghan Rd. (705-745-3211). A funeral service will commence in the chapel at 11 a.m. Reception to follow in the NISBETT RECEPTION CENTRE. Interment at St. Martin&rsquo;s Cemetery, Ennismore. Donations to Community Living Peterborough would be appreciated by the Doran Family. <br /></div>
