Starting point . failing all else . PETHICK-SMITH ( Funeral Directors - Barrie ) were successors to G. SMITH FUNERAL HOME, in Barrie, of the late 1940's . George SMITH , who I knew circa 1949 , was a English (bred) Gentleman, WITH THE FINEST, ACUTE, SENSE OF HUMOUR, of any man that I have had the pleasure of meeting. He has a close rival, in a current Funeral Director, in Barrie, who is also a friend. PETHICK-SMITH was short lived, in Barrie, and sold out to another up-and-comer, who didn't fare much better. May not even be the same Family . but is worth investigating. SORRY . have no idea what (this) PETHICK'S first name may have been.
