We are saddened to announce the passing of our father, grandfather, great grandfather and friend on Jan 28,2016 at Hants Community Hospital. The youngest child of Albert and Leola (Pearson), Dad called Hantsport home after moving there with his parents as a young boy. He was the last surviving member of his immediate family. Dad was a machinist and machine shop supervisor at Minas Basin Pulp and Power for 43 years, but he was a lifelong tinkerer and builder of all sorts of things from go carts to pontoon boats.
Always willing to help out, Dad was a volunteer firefighter for over 21 years as well as serving as a town councilor and Deputy Mayor in Hantsport. He spent many hours in the running and maintenance of the HMCC Pool and served as chair of the Pool Committee on several different occasions. He taught his children and grand children the meaning of volunteering in your community.
Predeceased by his wife Phyllis (MacKinlay) in 2006, his parents, siblings Earl, Marjorie, Carl, Robert, Hilda and Frank and a son in infancy.
Dad is survived by children Craig (Patricia) Corinne, Trudy (Alden Daniels) Trina (Jeff Norman) Tony (Janet) and Lisa (Wallace Daniels) 12 grand children and 9 great grandchildren whom he loved dearly. We would like to thank the staff at Gladys Manning for making Dad feel at home while he resided there. A special thank you to Carman Rafuse for his friendship. Thank you also to the staff at Hants Community Hospital.
There will be no visitation by request.
