Patsy died on Thursday, July 15, 2010 after a short but courageous battle with breast cancer, in her 75th year. Born Dec. 23, 1934 in North Sydney, she was the daughter of the late Charles and Eva (Roy) MacNeil. Although she was a stay at home mom, her office was the kitchen table, where she worked alongside her husband Joe, running the family business, Pat J. & Sons Trucking, for over 30 years. In the early years of their marriage, Dad's army career saw them living in many places; Marystown, Nfld., Oromocto and Gagetown, N.B. She set sail in Quebec and crossed the Atlantic ocean with three little boys in tow, to meet up with dad in Germany; coming back with one more. They returned to Cape Breton in 1965, and brought eight more children into the fold in the next nine years. An avid sports fan, she loved her Detroit Red Wings and Toronto Blue Jays. It was a dream come true to fly to Toronto to see her Jays playing baseball. She was a member of the Wednesday night ladies bowling league in North Sydney and Sydney Mines for over 40 years, serving as a committee member on several occasions. She volunteered with the Rotary Mile of Money, the Crippled Children's clinics, as well as a member of the North Sydney Kinettes for many years. She was a member of St. Joseph Roman Catholic Church, North Sydney. Patsy enjoyed reading, crossword puzzles and playing cards, especially cribbage. Sunday was card night at Nanny's where she and her sisters and brothers-in-law enjoyed a game of Auction '120'. She was famous for her cooking, especially her homemade turkey soup, cabbage rolls and hamburger Saturdays 'Glory Days'. Her greatest accomplishment was receiving her drivers license at the age of 52. Thanks Buck!

She was also 'Ma' to so many more, as it was no surprise to find an extra pair of feet or two under the dinner table! She is also survived by her sisters, Mary Witherall, RoseAnn Gillis, Elaine Wall, Eva MacNeil, Lynn Pottie (Carl) and Evelyn MacNeil; brother Roy (Janet); sisters-in-law Marion Gouthro, Yvonne Collins, Mary Steele-Boston; brother-in-law Howie Collins, and many nieces and nephews.

| Connington | Hugh Connington | The Evening Mail | 10/07/1922 | G. Newbury | Halifax, N.S., Monday, July 10, 1922 The Evening Mail Four Killed When Great Wireless Mast Crashed Down Shocking Tragedy at Marconi Towers Near Glace Bay - Fell 120 Feet - Three Instantly Killed GLACE BAY, July 8 - Four men, Norman MacRURY, Hugh CONNINGTON, A. KELLY and M. POPE, were killed at noon yesterday at the Marconi Towers, near Glace Bay. The men belonged to Louisbourg. They were erecting a steel mast and were in a cage 120 feet from the ground when the mast collasped. An official investigation to determine the cause of the collaspe of the tower will be conmended Monday afternoon at Glace Bay, by Coroner P.E. Ogilvie. About the same hour Louisbourg will witness one of the saddest, the four coffins of the victims, scenes in her long history, when Norman MacRury, Hugh Connington, M. Pope and A. Kelly will be carried in a common funeral procession to their last resting place. Up to the present time nothing official has been given the public as to the reason of the accident beyond the obvious information that the failure of an important part of the structural steel frame precipitated the catastrope. The four men were structural steel workers, and specialists in the erection of wireless towers of the lattice type. They were engaged in extending an old mast to a height of 310 feet. They had reached a height of 180 feet at noon, Saturday, and were working at that level, when without warning, some of the structural steel at the ninety foot buckled and the upper half of the mast toppled over and fell to the ground, carrying the workmen down in a tangle of girders. The tower did not break off completely, but buckled and fell over, its appearance after the accident being much the same, as that of a straw bent double. The lower half of the mast remained verticle, the upper half sloping at an angle down to the ground. When assistance arrived it was found that Connington, Kelly and Pope had been killed instantly, MacRury lived for about an hour after the accident. All four were badly crushed and mutilated by the steel. MacRury was the only married man of the four, all of whom belonged to Louisbourg. This is said to be the first accident of its kind in the history of the Marconi Co., in Canada. The four victims had been engaged in similiar work for years and were well known in wireless circles in Cape Breton for their skill in their different occupations. A special train on the Sydney and Louisbourg Railway carried the bodies to their home in Louisbourg. |

| Corkery | Catherine 'Kay' (Snow) Corkery | Cape Breton Post | 19/06/2010 | Catherine 'Kay' Corkery Born in: Florence, Nova Scotia, Canada Born on: 15/11/1915 Passed away in: Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada Passed away on: 16/06/2010 Passed away on June 16, 2010, in her 95th year, surrounded by the love of her family. Born in Florence, N.S. on Nov. 15, 1915, only daughter to George and Ethel (Norse) Snow. Predeceased by five brothers; and husbands, Michael Corkery and Fred Hull. Survived by numerous family members and friends including daughters, Pam, Cathy, Ann Marie, Carol, Donna, Wendy and son, Patrick, as well as several Corkery, Hodgson and Hull grandchildren and great-grandchildren, all living in Halifax, Cape Breton or other regions of Canada. 'Kay' as most people called her, loved to work in her garden on Herring Cove Road, where every piece of arable land between the many rocks was planted with flowers of all sorts. In later years, when her knees would not allow her, she would spread a blanket near the garden and weed while lying on her belly. During the cold winter months her house became a nursery overflowing with vegetation. Her love of travel was fulfilled in her early-married life with Michael as he was a member of the Royal Canadian Air Force and they were transferred around various parts of Canada. In her later life after Michael's death she partnered with Fred Hull and enjoyed adventure in Europe and exploring North America in their motor home. Through her dedicated involvement with the Fairview Legion's ladies auxiliary, she blossomed socially, finding long lasting friendships and contributing to community service through the legion's many volunteer activities. But Kay's ultimate expression of her love for life shone through when she danced. Whether at legion events or in her living room with her grandchildren, she could 'cut a rug' like no one else. We will never be able to adequately express our gratitude to the wonderful staff of Citadel Court Unit at Parkstone Enhanced Care in Halifax, N.S. for their loving attentiveness and genuine friendship given to our beloved mother Cremation will be followed by a private family memorial at a later date. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made in Kay's memory to the charity of your choice. Funeral arrangements are under the direction of Dana L. Sweeney Funeral Home, Lunenburg. www.sweenyfuneralhome.ca.s |

Alf was initially drawn to medicine and attended St. Francis Xavier and Dalhousie universities and the University to Toronto to pursue pre-med training. Ultimately his heart drew him back to music, where he worked on perfecting jazz piano playing and composing for the balance of his life.

In 1955 CBC aired the first variety show in the Maritimes on television, 'The Alf Coward Show,' featuring the Alf Coward Band. Meanwhile, during this time, what began as a two week 'gig' at George's Spaghetti House eventually extended to seven years due to a growing fan base. Alf lived (Mississauga) and worked in the Toronto area for the rest of his life. In the late 1960s he married and had two boys. He spent the 1970s onward teaching classical and jazz piano as well as voice from his Mississauga studio. He continued to perform locally in television commercials and movies. He is survived by his sons, Brent and Shem Coward, as well as his granddaughter, Peyton; brothers, Donovan, Halifax, N.S., Reginald (Judy), Dartmouth, N.S., Rueben (Debbie), Lower Sackville N.S. and Cephas (Jennifer).

| Crabtree | Grant H. Crabtree | Cape Breton Post | 20/10/2008 | Grant H. Crabtree Margaree/Sydney, N.S. - Reluctantly, in his 96th year, smothered with love and enjoying it to the last possible second, our dearest Grant departed Tuesday evening, Oct.14, as the clouds flew past that perfect full moon, within view, and while a cu mor glas wandered beneath his windows. Ti amo per sempre. One of Canada's pioneer filmmakers, director and cinematographer. A mighty heart with a personality to match, he survived over four months in ICU, in a heroic struggle to overcome multiple hospital infections. He just didn't have time to be the good patient, too many things beckoned: eagles and hummingbirds, chanterelles, his asparagus and crabapple jelly, lunch at the Cedar House, entertaining His Girls. Grant grew up in Rockliffe, Ottawa, in a boisterous, creative family with both parents being artists, from a long line of artists. His mother, Ella Greenham studied at the Royal Academy with John Singer Sargent; her father was Queen Victoria's Chief of Security. Her family had three lines of descent from Edward I through the Howards, Dukes of Norfolk. In the Austro-Hungarian Empire they ran the port of Trieste, partied with the Bonapartes and had portraits painted. His father was art director at Notman's in Montreal and then ran his own engraving business in Ottawa. Grant's first film job was an offer from John Grierson of the NFB in 1939. His career spanned six decades and his films won many awards. He filmed in Quebec with Palardy and Barbeau and A.Y. Jackson; in Emily Carr country for Klee Wyck; on the Columbian icefield, in Resolute and Pond Inlet; in logging camps and national parks; with wheat scientists and marine biologists, Ukrainian farmers and new immigrants, the Saguenay, the South Saskatchewan; with Helen Creighton for Songs of Nova Scotia and on the last of the Grand Banks schooners. He made the classic "Loon's Necklace "and "Morning on the Lievre" and films for children and about children; Scandinavia, Britain, U.S.A. He went everywhere where there was a story to be told about the promise of a youthful Canada. His life was lived in the outdoors: a championship rower at the Edinburgh Canoe Club, hockey, building backyard rinks and log cabins and ski runs in the Gatineau; evenings of screening rushes and broomball and hilarity at Meech Lake; making maple syrup every spring until he was 94; countless canoe trips, hikes, picnics and stopping in for tea. He could identify every tree, wildflower and mushroom. But the love of his life was Cape Breton, begun in 1942, never diminished, especially for the Margaree and its people. He taught himself woodworking and learned to make ladderback chairs with his beloved Ernest Hart at the Northeast. He adored his neighbours, Albert Polycarp fiddling at sunset, Levi the superb artist in wood, John Joe the master sheep shearer and storyteller. He was always along the river and shore with camera, searching for the perfect light. Grant had a superb 'eye' and his passion was nature photography. He made many films here and never wanted to be very far from his home high above the River at East Margaree. In old age, when he couldn't fish and climb his hill and go to the beach, he looked after his roses, made marmalade and maple liqueur and pursued his Red Green projects, enchanting and inspiring his grandchildren with stories and full of humour. He has left a wonderful library of photos and donations to the National Archives. His last film, Song of Seasons (1977) is a love song to an innis aigh, his own piece of heaven. He was married for 50 years to his beautiful wife, Marjorie Morse (2000) of Toronto. He is survived by daughters, Lauren (Kenzie) MacNeil, Ankerville Street, Sydney (his other home), and by Carla Kalberlah, Halifax; grandchildren, Caitriana, Christie, Mary, Anna MacNeil and Kyle, Vanessa, Andrea and Ryan Tingley; great-grandchildren, Marcos Alej, Nicholas and Alexandra. The family will be at home at 839 East Margaree Rd., Saturday, Nov. 1, 12-6. All welcome. Donations appreciated to the Margaree Salmon Association: margareesalmon.ca.

He was a devoted father, proud grandfather and a genuine friend and caring neighbor. Cremation has taken place. Visitation with Owen's family will be at T.W. Curry Parkview Chapel on Sunday from 7-9 p.m. Funeral services will take place on Monday, April 5, 2010 at St. Andrew's United Church, 40 Bentinck St., Sydney at 11:00 a.m. with Rev. Stephen Mills and Rev. Tom Whent officiating. Interment in Forest Haven Memorial Gardens, Sydney. Donations in Owen's memory may be made to Palliative Care, C.B. Regional Hospital, Sydney Y's Men Club or Canadian Cancer Society. The Reike Prayer Just for today, I will not worry Just for today, I will not be angry Just for today, I will do my work honestly Just for today, I will be king to my neighbor and all living things Just for today, I will be thankful for my many blessing. Words Owen lived by each and every day. Condolences may be sent to TWCurry.com |
