COLE John Stanton Wilding 1945 - 2021 On Saturday, January 16th 2021, John Cole passed away suddenly at the age of 75. John was the beloved husband of Gigi for over 50 years. He was the loving father of Syl (Rachel), Norman (Janice), and Jonathan (Vanessa), and the cherished grandfather of Joshua, Nicholas, Liam, Annick, Ella, and Noah. John was the dear younger brother of Anne (Colin) and Sandy (Jim) and will be remembered fondly by his nieces, nephews and extended family and friends, especially his friend of 74 years, Gary Wilansky. John went to Holloway School and then Prince of Wales School and was an active member of the 6th St. John's Boy Scouts. John left his home province of Newfoundland in 1968 and moved to Montreal to pursue a career in electronics. While in Montreal, John met and married Ghislaine, whose name he lovingly shortened to Gigi. They married in 1970 and raised their family together in Lachine. John rose to the role of President and General Manager of a world class scientific instruments company, resulting in the family's move to Mississauga. A love of nature led John to build his dream cottage in the Township of McKellar, as a weekend getaway for the family. Upon his retirement, John and Gigi made the cottage their permanent home. John's love of Lake Manitouwabing, coupled with his stalwart work ethic and drive, led to his involvement in many aspects of McKellar's community and politics. Throughout his life John made a distinct impression on everyone he met; he will be dearly missed and fondly remembered by friends and family.

BASHA Mary Elizabeth (Miller) April 22, 1937 - December 25, 2020 Passed away peacefully In Winnipeg, embraced in the presence and love of her family, on Christmas Day, 2020. She was the loving wife of the late Jerry Basha and mother of Mark (Kathy); Carolyn (Gilles); Maureen; and Andrew (Jacqueline). Grandmother of Ben and Mallory; Emelia, Maura, and Sam; Gerry and Aimee and sister of Jane (Frank McGrath); Doris (Tony Vuorela); John (Gladys), Peter (Anne); Carolyn (Frank Elliot) and Judy (Hedley Best) and Aunt to many nieces and nephews. Mary lived a full and courageous life. Most remember her extraordinary strength and resilience as she refused to yield to either physical or spiritual challenges from multiple sclerosis, cancer, and loss of those she loved well before their time. We also remember her zest for life in earlier days, loving Newfoundland's outdoors -- skiing snowy winter trails and beach days at the uncommonly warm Black Bank, listening to Dave Brubeck or watching for a new bird at her always-filled feeder. Mary was a great swimmer and found freedom in the water. A sign of her fierce independence and will, she continued to swim even as her mobility decreased and she swam laps 2 times a week up to a year before her death. Mary was born in Howley, Newfoundland to Phronie and Harry Miller. She graduated from Corner Brook Public School in 1953 and attended Mount Allison University. She then trained as an X-Ray Technician at the Royal Victoria Hospital in Montreal. She worked at Ottawa Civic Hospital for 2 years and then at Western Memorial Hospital in Corner Brook, Newfoundland. Most of her life was spent there where she had many happy years, raising her family, and pursuing her career. In 2006 she moved to Winnipeg to live with her daughter Carolyn so that she could continue her life as independently as possible, something that was very important to her. In accordance with Mary's wishes, cremation has taken place and her ashes will be returned to Newfoundland so that she can rest with Jerry and Mark at Mount Patricia Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the MS Society of Canada.

BENNETT Max Poole Passed away peacefully on January 28, 2021, at home, with his wife by his side. He was 99 years old, or as he liked to say, he was in his hundredth year, having been born December 8, 1921. Max was born at home in the small fishing village of Fortune, Burin Peninsula, Dominion of Newfoundland to Effie Poole Bennett and Charles Edward Bennett. He lived a life from which movies are made. He had six brothers who ran free and happy in Fortune and had many adventures that would put Tom Sawyer to shame. Before he was 17 he had already been shipwrecked 2 times. As soon as he turned 18 in December 1939 he enlisted with the Newfoundland Royal Artillery of the British Army to fight in World War II. He spent long years in Europe with the British Army. He shared many stories of humor from those years, but the horror of it weighed heavily on his mind through all his years. He left for Europe a citizen of the British Colony of Newfoundland and returned to find that he became a Canadian Citizen when Newfoundland joined Canada in 1949. After the War he moved to Toronto, Ontario to attend radio school where he met his soon to be wife, Isabell Susannah Alice Wilson (bd 7/1/1927). They were married August 5, 1948 on Isabell's parent's farm in Sandhill near Toronto. His career in the Canadian Avro Aircraft, maker of the Arrow, resulted in him finally settling in Santa Monica, California. Once there, he never wanted to move to a cold climate again. Before retirement in 1984 he climbed the corporate ladder to become Vice President of Ampex Corporation, a Fortune 500 Company. Quite a feat for a boy from Fortune with a high school education. Later he did receive graduate education from the USC School of Business. He was awarded a Key to Fortune to honor his accomplishments. He was preceded in death by his parents, five brothers Edward Stewart Bennett, Thomas Poole Bennett, Donald Crosley Baxter Bennett, Charles Allison Bennett, Harold Bertram Waterman Bennett, and granddaughter Sara Alicia Bennett Frieda. He is survived by his wife, brother John Frederick Bennett. Children: Gary Charles Bennett and wife Susan Clare (Haslop) Bennett, Linda Isabell Bennett-Frieda and her husband Dennis Joseph Frieda. Five Grandchildren: Simone Charlotte Bennett and husband Mac Schwager. Mikaela Suzanne Bennett and husband Seyed Ali Nojoumi, Dustin Bennett Frieda and wife Briana Joy (Bassman) Frieda, Matthew Bennett Frieda, Ryan Bennett Frieda, and Tyler Bennett Frieda. Four Great-Grandchildren: Delaney Josephine Isabell Frieda, Jasper Bennett Schwager, Cameron Schwager Bennett and Sophie Schwager Bennett. Max was a man who always looked out for the benefit of his family and loved them dearly. He was devoted to his wife even as dementia had taken its toll on her. Though not a social man he was friendly. He loved to laugh at jokes, satire and witticisms. Though not a man to flaunt money, he was generous to all he held dear. He will be missed. Plans for a Celebration of Life are currently on hold due to Covid restrictions. A charity he held dear to heart was the Salvation Army as they provided so many necessary needs while at war. Family would welcome any questions, thoughts or memories. We can be contacted at Gary Bennett: alphabenn@gmail.com or Linda Bennett Frieda: lbfrieda@gmail.com Max's death was a result of Covid and we hope that all who read this use it to help remind yourself and others to be safe and take precautions.

BRUFF Carl Patrick (Feb. 25, 1949 - Jan. 11, 2021) The family of Carl Patrick Bruff sadly announces his passing on Monday evening, January 11, 2021, at 71 years of age in Stephenville, NF. Carl passed at home surrounded by his loving family to end a long battle with cancer. He was a devoted husband and best friend to Eileen (nee Thistle) of St. John's for over 51 years. He will be tremendously missed by his children Sandi (Francois Beaupre) and Karl (Andrea, nee Campbell) and by his grandchildren Kyle and Evan Bruff of Stephenville and Sarah and Alex Beaupre of Kingston, Ontario. Carl, predeceased by his parents, Michael and Mary Bruff of Cape Broyle and 7 of his siblings; Alec, Gerry, Francis, Barb, Don, Norm and Patricia and leaving to mourn Jean, Carmel, Kevin and a large number of nieces, nephews, brothers/sisters-in-law. Carl leaves a large circle of close friends scattered across Newfoundland but especially in Mt. Pearl where he and Eileen resided for over 46 years. Carl left Cape Broyle at 16 years of age to pursue a career as a mechanic at the College of Trades and Technology. His first job was with Hickman Motors in St. John's and was considered a master mechanic when he left to start his own businesses; Thorburn Services Garage and several Petro Canada Gas Stations. He was a hard and dedicated worker. Carl could pretty much fix and build anything; electrical, plumbing, carpentry and woodworking are a few examples. Carl loved the outdoors and thoroughly enjoyed camping, trouting, hunting, and boating. He was also a longstanding member of the local Knights of Columbus. In his younger years, Carl rowed in the St. John's Regatta with the Hickman Motors Team that won the Men's Championship Race in 1974. To this day, the plaque is still hung in his house. While raising his children, Carl coached both his kids in soccer and his son in hockey. In later years, Carl took much pride in his garden and in helping his grandson Evan realize his dream of restoring an old truck. A loving and dedicated husband, Carl was the best father and grandfather anyone could ever ask for. He was always there for his family and would often put the needs and concerns of others before his own. Always willing to give a helping hand, Carl will be fondly remembered as a Jack of All Trades with a unique and extraordinary ability to MacGyver anything. Carl will be remembered for his smile, sense of humor and patience, but perhaps most of all, for his love for his wife and family. He will be forever in our hearts, thoughts, and memories. There will be a small family service and interment and hopefully a Celebration of Life when the future allows.

A man who wore many hats over the years, he was a husband, a father, a grandfather, a son, a brother, a friend; a business owner, a trucker, a toastmaster, a sailor, an avid reader, a horse trainer, a taxi driver, and more; but the roles he cherished most were those of husband to Evelyn (nee Wedman) and "Donkey" to his grandchildren. Carl was born and raised in St. John's, Newfoundland, the eldest son of his parents Clayton and Helen (nee Stanford). His childhood was rich with memories as he ran all over town to climb trees, fish in ponds, eat wild blueberries, go sledding, skate on Quidi Vidi Lake, and maybe make a bit of trouble if trouble didn't find him first. Although he left home at 16 to make his way west, Newfoundland was always the place he called home. He met Evelyn and in 1984, his wandering soul became anchored by hers forever. On his many journeys throughout the years, this newfie and the prairie girl he loved raised two children, Clayton and Brittney. He created cherished experiences throughout the years. Like the summer he and Clayton worked on his new sailboat in Nantucket; or the many road trips he took with Brittney where they spent hours philosophizing. His granddaughter Lena remembers holding his hand while going for walks in the sunshine. His grandson Nigel always knew where to go if he wanted a smartie. Little Miles may not remember seeing him, but his love for playing outdoors is a clear legacy of his Donkey. Carl is survived by his dear wife of 36 years Evelyn, their children Clayton (Kelsey Saiko), Brittney (Kyle) Pederson, and grandchildren Nigel, Lena and Miles; his loving mother Helen and his siblings Beverly (Barry) Moore, David (Connie), George (Carla), Sherry Avery (Whim Smolders), Wendy (Ken) Munroe, and Michael; and many nieces, nephews and extended family. He is predeceased by his father Clayton, sister Linda, and other extended family members. The family will not be holding a funeral service. In lieu of flowers, a memorial donation can be made to The Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada, or a charity of your choice. A special thank you to Ev's family for their years of support and care. We would also like to thank the outstanding emergency room team at the Leduc Community Hospital for their empathetic and respectful treatment.

BUTLER Gerald McDonald November 1, 1928 - January 7, 2021 Gerald (Gerry) Butler passed away peacefully after a brief illness, just 5 months after the passing of his sweetheart of 74 years, Ruth (Pike). Born in St. John's, NL to Hector and Gwendoline Butler, Dad made his way to Halifax to join the Royal Canadian Navy in 1949. It is here that he put down roots with Mom and raised the family of which he was enormously proud. After 25 years of service, he retired from the Navy and joined Sears, managing the facilities of the Halifax store until his second retirement. Not one to be idle, Dad did not rest there. He was an avid golfer, maintained what was arguably the most immaculate garden in "Birdland" and devoted much time to his family, friends, and the Rockingham United Church. Dad was a tenor in the church choirs, a member of The John B Band and the Men's Group. He was especially passionate about his work with the Pastoral Care Team. He visited countless people in their homes and at their bedsides, providing comfort and prayer. His friends describe him as a most entertaining, funny, big-hearted curmudgeon. No one could tell a joke, relate a story, or entertain a crowd like Dad. Dad was many things to many people but most important of all he was a devoted husband, father, grampy and great grampy. He was unwavering in his love and pride of his family. He provided advice when we needed it (not always when we wanted it!) and supported our decisions even when the choices we made were not the ones he hoped for. Dad taught us about love and life and how to treat people with kindness and compassion. He also taught us to stand by our convictions and what we believed in. We owe him so much. Gerry is survived by daughter Pamela Collier (Chris), son Paul Butler (Molly), granddaughters Malorie Stoddard (Adam), Melissa MacPhail (Ian), and great granddaughters Peyton and Carlee. He is also survived by brother David (Bonnie), sister-in-law Anne, and many nieces, nephews, and extended family. He was predeceased by his parents, stepmother Bertha, brothers Hector (Isla), Max (Olive), Ray and sister Elizabeth (Art). Arrangements are under the care of the Atlantic Funeral Home, Halifax. Cremation has taken place. Memorial and interment services will be held at a later date. Our gratitude to those who cared for Dad during his brief illness including the staff of the QEII Health Sciences Centre Emergency Department and the team on 8.2. He could not have been in better hands. In lieu of flowers, donations in Dad's memory will be gratefully accepted by the Rockingham United Church, Brunswick Street Mission, or a charity of your choice. Online condolences may be made by visiting the Halifax Chapel at: www.atlanticfuneralhomes.com Goodbyes are only for those who love with their eyes. Because for those who love with heart and soul, there is no such thing as separation. Rumi

A long life, well lived, Anne was the matriarch of a large close-knit family of 4 children, 12 grandchildren and 10 great-grandchildren. She is predeceased by her husband Bill and their infant daughter Margaret Teresa, as well as five beloved brothers and sisters. She is survived by her four daughters, Mary (Patrick) Whelan of Chapel’s Cove, Dorothy (Jon) Newman of St. Albert, Alberta, Irene (Wayne) Barry of St. John’s and Patricia (Ron) Kilius of Mississauga, Ontario and her sister, Genevieve Lambe and sister-in-law Esther Costello of St. John’s.

Also leaving to mourn her caregiver and friend, Stephanie Swan, and her nieces, nephews, and godchildren, whom she held always in her heart. Anne was a gentle soul who practiced a life of humility, kindness and unfailing courtesy in the town in which she was born and lived her entire life. Together with Bill, her beloved husband of fifty-six years, she raised her family in their staunch Catholic faith, and their shared values of their love and community. A gracious host, Anne welcomed visits and calls from family, neighbours and friends, never forgetting a milestone or to inquire about loved ones. Her special talent was to make you feel special - to give you the benefit of all her attention and affection, and to always offer words of support and encouragement. She made and maintained friendships across generations and across miles, and all of her relationships shared the benefit of her wisdom, leadership and guidance. Anne had an intimate relationship with God and found great solace in observance and prayer especially as her world shrunk in her late years. She had a soft heart, a keen mind and a quick wit. She loved a good game of cards, followed all political news on TV, and wanted nothing more than a laden dinner table and a house full of people. She had courage and integrity, grace and beauty. She loved unconditionally and was loved in return. She taught us how to live, but not how to live without her. The family would like to thank Dr. Russell Lake for years of expert and compassionate care, Father Thomas Offong, S.V.D., her spiritual advisor, her kind caregivers, and her many generous neighbours and friends.

FENNELLY Adrian William It is with great sadness that we announce the death of Adrian William Fennelly at the age of 80 on Saturday, January 23, 2021 at his home in Bedford, Nova Scotia leaving behind his wife, Judith Grant, daughter Linda (Jay), son Denis, step-daughter Jennifer Thorpe (Andy) and step-son, Matthew Thorpe, grandchildren Tia, Jeremy, Taylor, and step-grandchild, Sam. Siblings include Pauline Fennelly in California, Leonnie MacDonald and Vonnie Walsh in St. John's, John Fennelly and his wife Liz in Ottawa, along with a huge number of nieces, nephews and cousins. Adrian was predeceased, by his parents, John and Beatrice Fennelly, son Roland Fennelly, sisters Wilhelmina Fennelly, Mary Hagan, brothers Patrick and Martin, brothers-in-law, Fred MacDonald, Mike Walsh, Clar Hagan, and sisters-in-law Myrtle and Mary Fennelly. Adrian was born in Admiral's Cove, now know as Port Kirwan on the Southern Shore of Newfoundland and started his higher education at St. Bernard's in a one room school (with a potbelly stove). As a young man, Adrian taught school at Holy Cross in St. Johns before enlisting in the Canadian Air Force where he served from 1958 to 1971. Adrian worked on the Air Force's earliest computer systems and it was in Moncton that he raised his 3 children with their mother, Yvonne. After the military, Adrian began working for the Federal government including Employment Insurance in Ottawa and Moncton, then Ottawa for a consulting firm before retiring in 2001. In 1994 he asked his wife to go on a blind date. Judith knew when she saw him standing against the wall with his arm bent at his hip, that she was going to marry that guy. She never regretted that decision. The couple spent many years in Moncton, Ontario and the US before they moved back to the east coast settling in Bedford NS, where Adrian fussed around the house doing everything from painting, to finding new ways to use stained glass to planting orchids everywhere. Adrian was a no-nonsense kind of guy; he was fiercely proud of his Newfoundland heritage. He couldn't stand fools of any kind, especially politicians. A celebration of his life with an Irish wake will be held when it is safe to do so (in the community he grew up it) after the COVID-19 has disappeared.

By example, they created a deeply loving and large family, 49 strong and counting. Tallying the growing numbers gave her much joy. Nalda’s self-professed greatest accomplishments and source of pride were her 6 children and their families: Christopher (Michele Moores), Andrew (Valerie Kean), Ronald (Anne Marie Duff), Ronalda (Peter MacDonald), Daniel (Kelly Cadigan) and Robin (Stephen Patterson).

Her devotion and unrivaled love for her family was fierce, unapologetic, total and absolute. She was a uniquely positive force in all of our lives. Cremation has taken place.

LOCKE Dean Charles Born: May 26 1968. Deceased: January 8 2021 Dean was an artist, musician and friend to many, near and far. He had many unconventional ways to express himself and he did this wholeheartedly. He had the amazing ability to connect with some unseen universal thread and let it flow onto paper or through one of his beloved bass guitars. He was always happiest when expressing himself musically or being barefoot in nature. He was lucky enough to have experienced life to the fullest and to have grown exponentially as a man because of it. Dean is survived by his wife and best friend, Karen Klein-Locke. Children: Troy Hansen (Caitlin), Connor Locke, Grace Locke and his biggest fan Ruby Locke. Florence Moores Locke (mother). Siblings: Karen DeHann (Rick), Barry Locke (Violet), Shelley Landsburg (Bert), Rodney Locke (Colleen), Mary Ann Klein (mother-in-law), Doug Klein (Amy), Steve Klein (Dawne), Stuart Klein (Christine), Perry Klein (Maria), Barry Klein (Kim). Pre-deceased by: Roland (Bill) Locke (father), Skye Martin (niece), James Klein (father-in-law), D’Arcy Klein (sister-in-law). As expressions of sympathy: Be kind to one another, share a smile, lift each other up, and most of all.....be kind to yourself. Personal condolences can be posted at www.francisfh.ca

LYNCH Michael William It is with deep sadness and broken hearts that the family announces the sudden and tragic passing of a loving partner, son, brother, uncle, nephew, and friend Michael William Lynch, resident of Beaverlodge, AB. He passed away on Friday, January 29, 2021, at the age of 31 years. Mike was born in St. John's, NL, on March 6, 1989, to Jacquelyn Handregan and William Lynch. Mike and Vanessa moved to Alberta in 2013 so he could continue to work in the oilfield and Vanessa pursue her dream in teaching. He had a larger than life personality and was the life of the party. He knew exactly how to make you mad but was also the same person to make you laugh in the same sentence. In the words of his employers Kelsey and Tyrell Hoffos, his happy "getter done" attitude will be missed by every person that was lucky enough to have met Mike. There was never a dull moment when you were around him. He would make you laugh every day and give you the shirt off his back when you needed it. Left with fond and loving memories, is the love of his life for 12 years, Vanessa Chafe; his father Billy (Geraldine); sister Heather (Mike) and his beautiful niece Evalyn; Vanessa's parents Douglas and Virginia Chafe; Vanessa's brother Michael (Natalie); his canine buddies: Thor, Groot, Drax, Puddin and Pepper; grandfather Dick Rogers; aunts and uncles: Terry (Ivy) Handregan, Paula (Mike) Handregan, Mickie Handregan and families, Cathy (Reid), uncles Tom (Sheila) Lynch, Gerard (Geraldine) Lynch, and Bob (Tracy) Lynch, and Nancy (Lynch) and families; a large circle of cousins, great-uncles, and great-aunts; also, his Pathmaker family and a large circle of friends both in Alberta and Newfoundland, especially Matthew Frizzell and the Frizzell family. He was predeceased by his mother Jacquelyn Handregan; grandparents William and Bridget Lynch; grandmother Louise Rogers; and his uncles John Lynch and Tom Reid. Due to COVID-19 restrictions, a Celebration of Life will be determined at a later date in both Alberta and Newfoundland. "When in doubt, tack her out"

(age 79) decided to peacefully leave this earth, in the company of her family, whose turn it was to hold her hand, until she joined her loving husband, John William Nugent, who preceded her in 2005. Also anxiously awaiting her with open arms are her parents Elsie Jean Crocker (Bugden) and Harold James Crocker, pharmacist, alongside her brother Wayne Crocker, and who could forget, her dog, Muffy, who was her loyal companion who couldn’t wait to jump in her arms. Margaret Ann was educated at Bishop Spencer College alongside many life-time friends who continually kept in contact with her. She then continued her studies at the General School of Nursing, where she developed bonds with nurses that lasted a lifetime, and did she ever meet her calling!! Margaret Ann then went on to care for the sick at the Miller Centre, Waterford, Hillview Lodge and Department of Health; where she brought joy to each elderly resident in personal care homes throughout the province. Later in life, during her stay at Pleasant View Towers, her caregivers called her nurse Nugent because she was always at the bedside of ailing patients; even though, she was a patient herself. Margaret Ann was truly a saint and her compassion is her legacy! Regretfully, MAC, as she is known to those closest to her, left a huge circle of family and friends behind to continue her legacy in her memory. These include, her son John Nugent, (Barb Greene); her daughter Jeannie Nugent (David Barnes); and two precious grandchildren Jacob Nugent and Olivia Crane, who were the light and stars in her eyes. “Nanny MAC will surely be missed, but not forgotten.” Also left behind is her amazing aunt Elizabeth Johnston (Auntie Betty) whose infectious laugh she always loved to be around; and her best friend, cousin and sister; Shirley Crawley, who was her rock through life, “oh the secrets they shared.” She will also be sadly missed by Rosemary Gomez, Dorothy (Sis) Boland; William (Billy) and Sherwood Nugent, and Dwayne and Debbie Nugent. Furthermore, Margaret Ann leaves many nieces and nephews, who were dear to her heart. Cousins that are too many to name individually, but know, she cherished each and every one of you. You were all so dear to her. Also, special friends Bill and Ruth Dyer who shared many fun times during her and John’s hay day. Finally, the caregivers and domestic workers at Pleasant View Towers on 4 South East who treated her like family. I know she thanks you and so do her family, especially for the Facetime chats with her daughter living away, and the raisin toast and coffee provided to her children during the last weeks of her life. Resting at Carnell’s Funeral Home, 329 Freshwater Road, on Sunday, January 24th, from 10 a.m. - 2 p.m. and 4- 9 p.m. Funeral service will be held from The Carnell Memorial Chapel on Monday, January 25th at 10 a.m. with internment to follow at the Anglican Cemetery, Kenmount Road.

OSBORNE Robert William "Bobby O" Robert William Osborne "Bobby O", aged 60, of Middle Cove, passed peacefully away on January 12, 2021, after a courageous and inspiring battle with cancer. Bob died at home surrounded by his loving wife Paula; his cherished sister Sue and his precious dog, Skye. Predeceased by his loving parents (Dick and Doris). Leaving to mourn Paula, his beloved wife; Sue Mahon, his darling sister; her husband Joe and Joseph, his forever loved nephew; his cherished mother-in-law Mary T. Ryan (Chapel's Cove); Petria Rossiter, his long time colleague and close friend; as well as many sisters and brothers-in-law; and a large circle of close, life-long friends. Also left to mourn is a huge community of 5-pin bowlers across Canada. From the messages received, it was appropriate that we call Bob "The Legend". He attended 61 national competitions, won gold, silver, bronze and all-star national awards. He loved the game, the sport and the competition but mostly, he loved the competitors and they loved him. He was appreciated as a businessman, unrivaled as a competitor and loved as a gentleman. Although he had a trove of precious memories, each one special to him, his proudest was winning a national gold medal at his own bowling lanes, Holiday Lanes - the first proprietor in Canada to do that. We know his bowling friends will miss him every bit as much as he will miss them. Bob was a true gentleman; honest to his core, generous to a fault, hard-working, driven to succeed and strong of spirit. A real family man, Bob revelled in the times spent with them, whether it was at Sunday dinner at his Mom and Dad's or at their cabin in Chapel's Cove, which rang with laughter, love, larking around and always resonating with the sounds of music and song led by his darling Paula and her siblings. Bob began his working career welding at the Dockyard in St. John's until fate afforded him the chance to begin his dream job - owner of Holiday Lanes, a place always close to his heart, previously managed by his father, Dick. His passion for bowling is legendary, as is his love of a good time. At tournaments, he led many a party through until dawn, and lost many a pair of spoons! Special thanks to Dr. Dawn Armstrong and the entire team at the Cancer Clinic for their tireless care and compassion. Cremation has taken place. Visitation will be at Carnell's on Freshwater Road on Friday, January 15 from 12 - 8 p.m. Funeral Mass will be held from Mary Queen of Peace on Torbay Road, on Saturday, January 16 at 9:30 a.m. and is by invitation only, due to Covid restrictions. For those unable to attend, the funeral service will be livestreamed with the link available at www.carnells.com Donations in Bob's memory may be made to the Dr. H. Bliss Murphy Cancer Centre. "So fill to me the parting glass And drink a health whate'er befalls Then gently rise and softly fall Good night and joy be to you all."

O'TOOLE Dermot It is with great sadness that the family of Dermot O'Toole mourns his passing on January 15, after battling a long and complicated illness. Derm is survived by his sister Cynthia and his two brothers, Wilson and Larry, as well as his nieces Chantelle and Savannah, and nephews Bradley and Dylan, as well as Jacob, Holden and Bronson, and Julia and Ava, his great-nephews and great-nieces. As Gunner Dermot J. O'Toole of the Canadian Army, Derm was particularly proud of his contribution to his country, as was his father Gunner Paschal O'Toole, in whose footsteps he followed. The family is particularly grateful to his army buddies Billy Ryan, Howard Cousins and Jerry Dunphy who have been so supportive to him. In addition to their support, the support of his local buddies Dana McCarthy, Kevin Dunne and Jerry Johnson is a shining example of being there for someone. We are all, hopefully, remembered not only for our presences on this earth but also for some mark we particularly made. With Derm it was his generosity and ability to fix anything for anyone. Derm loved to know how things worked and loved taking them apart and putting them back properly if they were broken in any way. He was a real Mr. Fixit and if people don't remember him for that, it will be for his dry wit, of the Newfoundland variety. He will be missed by all his family and friends. His mother Madeline always remarked, "Derm is the soft-hearted one," and so indeed he was. A celebration of Derm's life will take place on Monday, January 18 from 6 to 9 pm at Fahey's Funeral Home in Fermeuse and a funeral mass on Tuesday at 11:30 am on Tuesday at Holy Apostles Church in Renews, followed by a burial.

PADHI Matilda Emma Passed away peacefully at the Rockyview General Hospital Calgary on January 3, 2021. Born November 3, 1933 in Belleoram, Newfoundland daughter of John and Irene (Rose) Whatley. After graduating from high school Emma headed to Halifax to work in the Moirs chocolate factory until she was old enough to begin nurses training. In 1950 she entered the Halifax Infirmary School of Nursing. Upon graduation in 1953 she headed west to Saskatoon where she worked at the Sanatorium and later as a head nurse at St. Paul's Hospital. She met her future husband Radhakrishna (Rad) Padhi while working at Fort San and they were married in 1956. The two travelled to Kingston where they started their family, and her husband pursued a career in cardiac surgery. They decided they should travel to Rad's home country India, so he went ahead to get settled. In November 1961 she travelled with 2 children, while expecting a third child to join her husband. She travelled from Halifax to London and then onto Cairo. She was the only adult female on the inaugural flight of the United Arab Airlines flight from Cairo to Bombay. She loved India, the country, the people, the food… She assisted her husband by running the bypass machine for the first successful open-heart surgery in Wanlesswadi India in April of 1962. They worked alongside each other for 6 years. In 1967 they returned to Canada living in Saskatoon, Regina and settled in Moose Jaw in 1970. She raised a family, continued a nursing career and for a while sold real estate. She loved hockey and was a huge supporter of the MJ Canucks/Warriors. She was president of the Moose Jaw Newfoundlanders club. A member of the Saskatchewan Registered Nurses Association. She occasionally worked in Northern Saskatchewan outposts providing relief to nurses on their time off. Upon retiring in 1987 Emma and Rad decided to travel to Cameroon in West Africa for a 3-year medical mission. Again, Emma helped teach the nursing staff, assisted in the operating room, re-organized equipment and supplies and helped to rebuild the hospital. She continued to volunteer for medical missions (Haiti and Guatemala) after her husband died. Her religious beliefs were a guiding force in her life. She loved the hymns and took great comfort in reading and reciting verses from the scriptures. Throughout her life she always made time to volunteer whether it was at the church or in the community. She travelled the world and made lasting friendships wherever she went. She was a progressive thinker, accepting of individual differences and always up to date on world affairs. She loved to shop especially for jewelry. She enjoyed sewing, knitting, and reading. She loved life and knew how to have a good time wherever she was. She was devoted to her family and friends and was always there to lend a hand to someone in need. She was preceded in death by her husband R.K. Padhi (1998). She is survived by her children; Pamela (Kim) Railton, Desmond (Laura) Padhi, Devkumar (Veronica) Padhi; grandchildren Aaron (Jessica) Railton, Sarah Railton (Bernie Banovic), Nathan Railton, Evin Padhi, Krystle O'Brien (Justin) and great-grandson Charlie Railton. Our hearts are heavy, and our loss is great, but we take comfort in knowing that she is at peace in heaven. We wish to thank the staff at the RVGH Unit 74 for their wonderful care of our dear mother in her final days. We also wish to thank the staff at Father Lacombe Care Centre which has been her home since her stroke in May of 2016. Thank you for all those special little things you did for mom, it meant so much.

RENDELL Julia Mary (Cashin) It is with sadness that we announce the passing of Julia Mary Rendell (Cashin) of St. John’s, NL on January 18th, 2021 at the age of 90. Julia was born in Gambo, NL on January 3rd, 1931. As with many young men and women in the post war era, Julia went to work at the nearby Gander Air Base and it was there that she met her husband Leslie. They married in 1951, raised three children and enjoyed many happy years together until Leslie’s passing in 2016. Fondly known as Nanny, Julia was a very loving and kind mother to Jim (Jill), Blair (predeceased 2011), and Susan (Bob), grandmother to Sara (Jeff), and Philip and great-grandmother to Kaylie and Bennett. She is survived by her brother Frank Cashin of Mount Pearl, and predeceased by her brother Michael Cashin of Fredericton, and sisters’ Josephine (Smyth) and Eileen (Hookey) of Gander. With Leslie’s career in aircraft maintenance and later in their retirement Julia had the opportunity to experience life and work in Gander, Stephenville, Goose Bay, Pasadena and St. John’s. She thoroughly enjoyed all these communities and what they had to offer. She took art and sewing classes, cooking courses, served on local chapters of the ACW, and forged many lifelong friendships. As children and grandchildren we all reaped the benefits of her creative interests, having the best Halloween costumes, lots of home knit mitts and sweaters, beautifully sewn quilts, and amazing birthday cakes. Unable to create in her later years, she did maintain her jovial nature and relished every visit with family and friends. In her final six years, Julia resided at Chancellor Park. The care was exceptional and we wish to express our heartfelt thanks to all the staff for their compassion and their attention to every detail. A summertime memorial service and internment will take place in Heart’s Content. Please visit https://www.greensfuneralservices.ca/ if you wish to sign the memorial guest book.

RICHE Frederick Joseph "Joe" January 5, 1965 - January 22, 2021 Wow. How do I even begin to write an obituary for my partner of 31 years? On January 22, 2021 Joe Riche was taken away from us in an instant. Since that day, I have received hundreds of messages of how Joe touched the lives of so many people. From his childhood friends, to his 80's band mates. From his life-long buddies, to his current football mates. From his fellow adventure-seeking friends from all over the world, to his car and bike-loving crew. From his clients who considered Joe a close personal friend to fellow entrepreneurs and the business community. Joe touched the lives of so many people in his 56 years that it is incredible to me! I’ve thought a lot about this and it’s because he "practiced passion" in absolutely everything he did. He was curious and genuinely interested in absolutely everything and everyone around him. Who was Joe Riche? He was an excellent father to our beautiful daughter Jessie. He was a dog walker to our three dogs. He was a man of strong integrity. A true gentleman. Financial advisor extraordinaire. He worked hard, but played harder. World traveller. Mountain Climber. Coach. Raiders fan. Habs fan. Musician. Animal lover. Collector of all things. Voracious reader. Harley rider. Muscle car driver. Trivia champion. Prankster. He was a tremendous partner who loved me dearly. He is a man we are all so proud to have had in our family. Joe leaves behind our sweet, beautiful daughter Jessie, who he loved with all his heart, his mother Hilda Pollard (St. John’s), his father Fred Riche and wife Rose Mangone (Oakville, Ontario), and me, Kim Spearns, his partner, and best friend of 31 years, who was lucky enough to be along for the wild ride through it all! Following his wishes, cremation has taken place and a celebration of life will be held at a later date. Donations in Joe's memory may be made to the SPCA. To send a message of condolence, please visit www.carnells.com Rest in Peace Darlin'. As you always said, you really were "living the dream"! I’m so proud of you and I love you. XOXO

Phil worked for IOC then moved over to QNS&L Railway where he finished out his working career as a conductor. His years on the railway were the ones he loved the most.

One of his proudest working moments was his letter of recognition from the Governor General of Canada for his skill at fly fishing ties.

SOUTHCOTT Ronald Joseph On Sunday, January 17, 2021, at the age of 82, a wonderfully kind and gentle man completed his earthly journey. Born and raised in Grand Falls, Newfoundland, Ronald Joseph Southcott was many things, top among them: a devoted husband, a loving father and grandfather, and a treasured friend to a wide circle of people. He possessed an unshakable Christian faith that was firmly rooted in the Roman Catholic Church. He was an educated and intellectual person, the embodiment of the word “gentleman.” With a B.Com from his beloved St FX University, a B. Ed. from Mount Allison University, and an M.Ed from Memorial University, Ron spent most of his professional career as Superintendent of the Exploits - White Bay Roman Catholic School Board. Ron was a member of the St. FX Board of Governors, President of the St. FX Alumni Association, and inducted into the university’s prestigious Hall of Honour in 2004. He served as the President of the South and Central Health Foundation in Newfoundland and President of the Grand Falls Rotary Club, and he was awarded the Paul Harris Fellowship for outstanding service. Ron was a prolific writer, frequently producing guest editorials for the Evening Telegram, as well as writing a regular column in the Grand Falls Advertiser. Known for his keen wit, quirky sense of humor, and his oratorical skills, he gained a reputation as the “go-to” person when a speech, or a newspaper article, or a sage opinion was needed. While his professional and community accomplishments were impressive, for those he leaves behind his name will be principally associated with music and singing. Take out a guitar, or tickle the piano keys … anytime, anywhere … and Ron’s wonderful tenor voice would be first to strike up a singsong. One of the greatest pleasures of his life was being part of the singing group “Musical Friends” for more than ten years. Even in his last seven years living happily in Bedford, Nova Scotia, as his Alzheimer’s Disease slowly progressed, the desire and ability to sing never left him. Though it is with hearts full of sadness that we had to let him go, we are confident that his beautiful voice has now been welcomed into Heaven’s Celestial Choir. Without doubt he strolled through the Pearly Gates singing, “You are My Sunshine”. Ron was predeceased by his daughter Rhonda; mother Margaret (Wall); father Ronald H; brother John; sister Judith and brother-in-law Andrew Walach; and nephew Robert Southcott. Left with precious memories are his loving wife of 55 years, Rita (Woolridge); sons Richard (Lisa) and Regan (Christa); and granddaughters Olivia and Isabella, whom he adored. Also mourning his loss are his cousin and close friend, Arthur Southcott; niece Pamela Barter (Billy) and their daughter Mackenzie; nephew Peter Walach (Lorraine) and their son Aaron; sister-in-law Margaret Southcott and her sons Keith and Douglas; plus a large number of other relatives and friends. Cremation has already taken place. Please consult www.tjtracey.com for future details on funeral arrangements. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Alzheimer Society of Nova Scotia.

STACEY Dorothy F. Passed peacefully away on Saturday, January 23, 2021. Predeceased by her parents Alex and Laura Stacey (nee Tucker); sister Ruth, and; parents-in-law Albert and Meta Chaulk. Leaving to mourn with fond and loving memories her husband Chris, son Albert, daughter Stacey, and a large circle of family and friends. Dot was pragmatic, resourceful, and determined in every task that she undertook. As a stay-at home mom she became an entrepreneur and completed a Bachelor of Commerce Degree. It's not that she was stubborn, but simply that there was a right way to do things; her way. She generously and selflessly devoted time to raise her children, nurture her family, and advocate as guardian for her mother. Ever the optimist, she saw the good in people and was always quick to lend an ear, a kind word, or a helping hand. Dot had happy memories of growing up on Mt. Royal Ave., where she found lifelong friends and a passion for design and sewing her own clothes. Her dining room table became host to many a baby blanket, and quite a few drapes too, there was nothing she couldn't make. From her father, she cultivated a love of nature and gardening, and could often be found elbow deep in soil that she later found out she was allergic to. She loved anything antique and had an eye for style; rearranging a whole room to incorporate some new piece that she discovered on a drive around the island, or, more likely, from a garage sale around the corner. For Dot, there could be no greater vacation than a trip to the beach. Any beach would do, but sand was definitely preferred. She traveled far and wide to feel sand between her toes, smell a sea breeze, and listen to crashing waves. There is no better place for her to spend eternity than at a sandy beach, so her ashes will be spread there at a later date. Beautiful and unique, warm and caring, Dot was full of life and we were all just along for the adventure with her. Those who wish to celebrate Dot's life are welcome to raise a glass with friends and family, take a walk along a beach or around Bowring Park, dive into a new book, get creative, or do something else that you love. To leave a message of condolence please visit www.barretts.ca Memorial donations may be made to The Gathering Place, Salvation Army, or a charity close to your heart.

STICK (nee PRETTY) Jean It is with sadness that we announce the death of our Mother Jean Stick (nee Pretty) of St John’s NL. Jean grew up in Grand Falls NL. She enjoyed her childhood and developed a life long love of nature while spending much of her youth amongst the woods and forest of the Exploits River. Her life’s routines revolved around the seasons, school and church. Family ties were strong and life long friendships were made. Jean left Grand Falls after completing her Grade 11 and enrolled as an RN nursing student at the Salvation Army Grace Hospital in St. John’s. It was there that she met her future husband Desmond Stick. They married, welcomed two treasured children into their lives and thus started the happiest period of her life. Tragically Desmond was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer at age 42. Jean nursed him with love and devotion until his end, and then found the strength to rally, face a new day and raise their two children on her own. Their welfare was her top priority and sole focus. She was a caring, courageous and committed woman, a loving and attentive mother. She enjoyed gardening, walking, concerts, volunteering, and reading, but most of all enjoyed the company of a solid circle of family, friends and neighbours, who provided generous support throughout the years. At age 84 she decided to move to Kennys Pond Retirement Residence. The staff and community there welcomed her with open arms. Thank you all for making her time there so wonderfully special. Jean was predeceased by her parents Ada and James Pretty, her infant twin brother and sister, her brother Jim, sister Verna (Terry) and her beloved husband Desmond. She is survived by her son Jim, her daughter Ann, her grandchildren Michelle, Robyn, Desmond, (Kaila), Jordan, two great grandchildren Shawn and Shayla. She enjoyed a special bond with Andrew and Andrea, her nephews Christopher and David, and grand nephews Adrian, Gavin and Riley. She will be missed greatly, but all who love her are delighted that she and Desmond are finally united again, never to be separated. Cremation has taken place.

WILSON Florence Jean of Columbia, Missouri died at the MU Hospital on January 7, following hospitalization for the Covid-19 virus. She was born on March 11, 1942 in St. John's, Newfoundland. Her parents, Edgar Boone and Florence May (Laing) Boone, died young leaving Flo and her brother, Robert, to be raised by their grandparents, Joseph and Louisa (Dutot) Boone. Flo married her husband, Earl, in 1960. They met while he was stationed in Newfoundland with the U.S. Navy. They enjoyed 60 years of marriage or "sustained warfare," as she liked to joke. They spent the first 16 years as a military family, moving around the country and spending long periods apart. After Earl retired from the military, they made a final move to Columbia, where they settled into a life of academics, quality time with family and friends, and traveling. She was a devoted and loving wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother who loved making holidays and birthdays extra special. Flo also had a strong interest in the arts, participating in many art workshops and providing voluntary support for the Columbia Art League. Many of her paintings adorn the walls of her children and grandchildren, as well as her own home. She was a strong advocate for higher education and earned a degree in consumer economics from the University of Missouri after her children left the home. She was active in the University Fortnightly Women's Club and several of its special interest groups. She loved traveling and visited more than 25 countries, all 50 U.S. States and all 10 Canadian provinces within her lifetime. She especially enjoyed quality time with friends and family and "happy hour" on her deck, amongst her flowers with a glass of wine. Flo was an avid reader, even continuing to read after losing much of her sight. Most of all, she was a fun-loving and feisty woman with strength and perseverance. Flo is survived by her husband, Earl Wilson; daughters: Pamela Wilson and Kimberly (husband, John) Hiley, Columbia, MO; grandchildren: Heather (husband, Matt) Gazda, Suffolk, VA, and Brandon Pepper, Roswell, NM; great-grandchildren, Zake and Byron Pepper, Richlands, NC, and Connor and Sophia Gazda, Suffolk, Va; and numerous cousins and other relatives in Canada. She was preceded in death by her parents, Edgar and Florence May Boone, her brother, Robert Boone, one granddaughter, Hilary Wilson, and a beloved cousin, Joan Prowse. A memorial service will be held at a later date when it is safer to gather. In lieu of flowers, gifts will be appreciated to the Florence J. Wilson Scholarship in Financial Planning at the University of Missouri-Columbia. Checks should be mailed to Mizzou Advancement, 407 Reynolds Alumni Center, Columbia, MO 65211, indicating Flo's scholarship fund.

From playing semi-professional hockey, to building beautiful stained glass art, to windsurfing and weightlifting until he was 70, Marc loved to live and love large. Marc was a true gentleman; generous, hardworking, a doting companion, and loved by everyone fortunate enough to know him. Marc’s eagerness to live life to the fullest brought him great delight right to the end. The family would like to extend a special thank you to our dear friends who were ever present and supportive. A special, heartfelt, thank you to Dr. Frank O’Dea; nurse, Fatima Mansaray; nurse, Rod Abbott; Nurse Practitioner, Denise Cahill; and all of the staff at the Miller Centre and hyperbaric chamber at the Health Sciences Centre, St. John’s.
