In J.P.’s younger years he travelled to New Hampshire, Vermont , Florida, New York, and many other States with us. J.P. was an avid swimmer and enjoyed the family pool. J.P. never forgot a holiday or birthday and was what some people in this world should strive to be like!

The last three years were tough on J.P. and he was slowing down, he had to leave Horizons Day Program and spend most of his days with family. A special thank you to Stacey Boutilier from MacGillvary Guest Home, without her support J.P. would not have been at home when he passed...thank you again. Also the palliative care nurses and V.O.N. (Kelly) who made the house calls, and listened to our needs. Many thanks to family and friends who have listened to endless stories about J.P.’s care and how we need change to happen with health care for the elderly and the disabled populations.

| Gallant | Madonna (Howell) Gallant | Cape Breton Post | 09/12/2009 | Madonna (Howell) Gallant Born at New Waterford , Nova Scotia , Canada Heaven decided that a second-soprano was needed for Christmas and recruited Madonna on Dec. 2, 2009. Madonna was born in New Waterford, N.S., the second of seven children to Henry and Margaret (Gillis) Howell. She was predeceased by her father, Henry Howell. She is survived by her husband, Alvin; daughters, Jeannine and Linda; mother, Margaret (Peggy) Howell; sisters, Beverly Morrison, Yvonne Madore, Patricia Alisch, Jacqueline Clarke and brothers, Frank and Joe Howell. Madonna attended Holy Angels High School in Sydney and graduated from St. Francis Xavier University in 1972 with a senior diploma in education. She taught at several schools in the Sydney area and married Alvin in 1975. The couple resided in Baie Verte, Nfld., where she taught at St. Pius X Elementary School. In 1978, they moved to Elliot Lake, Ont., where both of their daughters, Jeannine Elize (1978) and Linda Marie (1981) were born and baptized at Our Lady of Fatima Catholic Church. Madonna decided to become a stay-at-home mom and raise her daughters. Madonna enjoyed exploring Ontario with her family and took every opportunity to return to Cape Breton to nurture her children’s roots and cement bonds with their extended family. When the family moved to Hampton, N.B., in 1985, Madonna became an active member of St. Alphonsis Catholic Parish choir and excelled as a cantor. She was also very active in the CWL. This period of her life also saw her run a play school from her home for self-fulfillment and to help with the family’s finances. Many an evening she was seen on one of her regular strolls along the Kennebacasis River Road, drinking in the beauty of the Hampton Marsh and greeting friends along the way. In the late 1990s Madonna began to feel the effects of the Alzheimer’s disease which would eventually claim her. In March 2001 she and Alvin moved to Fort McMurray, Alta., where the malady eventually progressed and necessitated her placement in continuing care at the Northern Lights Regional Health Centre. Despite the continuing onset of Alzheimer’s, she enjoyed day trips exploring Alberta, and a holiday to Victoria, B.C., which completed her desire to see both the Atlantic and Pacific coasts of Canada. Madonna never lost her love of music and could be heard at first singing familiar songs, then listening and enjoying local artists and church groups perform at the centre. To all those who provided moral and professional support, the family offers our sincere thanks. To the care-giving staff at the Northern Lights Centre, we cannot say enough. The respect with which she was treated as well as the affection afforded her was top-notch. Many times a caregiver would enter her room and terms such as “m’love” or “dearie” or “darlin” would be freely used. Visitation for the late Madonna Gallant will be held at the Pier Community Funeral Home, 1092 Victoria Rd. (entrance on Church Street), Friday, Dec. 11, 2009, from 2-4 and 7-9 p.m. Funeral mass will be celebrated at Holy Redeemer Church at 11 a.m., Saturday, Dec. 12 with Fr. Errol MacDonald officiating with reception to follow at the Pier Community Funeral Home. Interment will take place in Resurrection Cemetery, Sydney Forks. In lieu of flowers, please make a donation to the Alberta & Northwest Territories chapter of the Alzheimer’s Association, the Alzheimer’s Association of Canada, Northern Lights Regional Health Centre Foundation, continuing care department or to charity of your choice. Funeral arrangements are entrusted to the care and direction of the Pier Community Funeral Home. Online condolences may be sent to info@pierfuneralhome.com. |

Paula was actively involved in her school and community and art was one of her passions. She was currently pursuing her certificate in visual arts at NSCAD. Paula was doing this not only to enrich her life but the lives of the students she taught. Her love of teaching was always evident in the creativity and passion she brought to her job and the fondness and warmth she displayed to her students. Friends and family always appreciated her sense of humour, quick wit and positive outlook on life. In a gathering, people gravitated toward Paula because she was a constant source of entertainment. Her sisters,Lynn and Lana were her closest friends with barely a day going by without seeing or talking to each other. Paula's life became even more enriched when she married her beloved Jason and then the birth of their beautiful baby Anna in January 2005. Her happiest time in life was this past year with her new family. This radiated from Paula and was often displayed with her creativity when taking pictures of Anna and Jason and the compilations she would send to family and friends and through the journals, scrapbooks and stories she wrote for Anna. Paula will be dearly missed by all her family, friends, coworkers and students.

He is survived by son, Roger (Sandie); daughters, Jo Ann (Hook) MacIsaac, Cathy (Bruce) Read, Janice (Joe) Waye; and was a proud Giddi to his 10 grandchildren, Wenda Lee, Joe, Natalie, Marena, Matthew, Michelle, Emily, Andrea, Joseph and Vanessa; and one great-grandson, Tyler; as well as his loving nieces and nephews. Joe was a veteran of the Second World War, where he served overseas as a sergeant and was a member of the Royal Canadian Legion, Branch 12. He was a founding member and past president of the St. Joseph and Lebanese Benevolent Society, a third degree member of the Knights of Columbus, president of the Cape Breton Barbers' Association, a member also of the fishing and game association of Cape Breton and a devoted parishioner of St. Theresa parish. Joe operated his own barbershop business for many years and was well known on Charlotte Street. In the early years, many a businessman would meet for their morning shaves and the latest news or one of Joe's famous jokes at Central Barber Shop. In his later years, he worked as a printer with Sydney Vocational School and also worked for his son, Roger at the Sportsmen's Club in Sydney. As a young couple, Joe and Marena found the beauty of the Margaree River and continued throughout their married life to share it with family and friends. Joe was an avid salmon fisherman and hunter and nothing pleased "Moosehead" more than to start his day casting his line on one of the pools of the Margaree River. Joe took pride every year when he received his annual Christmas cards from his old war buddies including the late Clarence Campbell, president of the NHL, and Turk Broda, former NHL player. The family would like to thank the staff of 3A and 4B floors for their comfort and care during his short time spent at the hospital. A special thanks to Dr. Dale Miller with whom he had a very special friendship. Visitation will take place at Sydney Memorial Chapel, Sunday, May 2, 2010, from 2-4 and 7-9 p.m. Funeral mass will be held at St. Theresa parish in Sydney at 10 a.m., Monday, May 3, 2010, with Rev.

Bucky displayed a sense of humour that made it fun to be around him. He was able to touch many hearts throughout his short life as was evidenced by the support he received while battling through his illness. A recent quote by his brother, Frankie, sums up the impact that Bucky had on people, "I didn't know Bucky knew so many people. Everywhere I go and introduce myself, people ask, 'Are you Bucky's brother?'" This is a true testament to Bucky's character.

He participated, he coached, he refereed, he umpired, he volunteered and he chauffeured his children and their friends. Bucky also had a special place in his heart for horses and a passion for golf. Bucky spent time working in the pit, working for the Coast Guard and working as a plumber/pipe fitter. Bucky recently retired from Local 682, where he spent close to 30 years working in the construction industry.

| Garland | George Wayne (Josh) Garland | Cape Breton Post | 01/05/2004 | Maureen McNeil | Garland, George Wayne (Josh), 60, Sydney, died April 29, 2004, son of Alvert and Annie Laurie (Peddle) Garland; radio broadcaster, wife Helen Kennedy; sons, Joshua, Halifax; James at home; daughter Tara (Paul) Doswell and grandson Luke, England; stepson, Allan (Melanie) Morrison; stepdaughter, Shauna Morrison; sisters, Mary (Bill) MacKinnon, Rose (Ray) Mortimer, both of Sydney and Barbara Lordly of Ottawa. Visitation Sunday 2-4 and 7-9 pm at Sydney Memorial Chapel; funeral Monday at Christ Church, Trinity Ave. 11 am. May 3, with Rev. Fev. Arnold and Rev. Marg. Campbell officiating. April 30, 2004 - Submnitted by Juanita MacDonald VETERAN CBC REPORTER GEORGE GARLAND DIES "George Garland covered a lot of serious stories during 27 years as a journalist but colleagues who learned of his death Thursday were remembering a very funny man. Reporter John Chesal, of CBC Cape Breton, where Garland worked for 22 years, recalled a solid, no nonsense journalist and a man with a great sense of humour. "For a long Time he was the senior TV reporter here and he would have covered all the big stories." Like the downturn in the Cape Breton fishery, coal and steel industries, many of the stories were about bad news, Garland recalled during an interview with the Cape Breton Post in 2001. He also lamented a trend in journalism to "infotainment." "It just did not suit my personality," Garland said. "I am kind of straightforward and I thought that's what news should be." Familiar to most Cape Bretoners as a radio and TV reporter at CBC, Garland paid some dues before landing that job in 1975. Born and raised in Sydney, he worked at CJOY in Guelph, ONt., CJCH TV in Halifax and at CJCB in Sydney before joining CBC in Sydney. Chesal said his former colleague crafted a news story, writing it out in longhand before typing it out. The flip side of that meticulous approach to work was a great sense of humour. "He was always very quick-witted ... a fun guy to work with and a fun guy to be around," said Chesal. "He would sometimes launch into some stand-up routines that would leave you on the floor crying - he was just a hellish funny guy." Doctors told Garland some months ago he had a brain tumour. He died in Hospital Thursday morning at the age of 60. He is survived by his wife Helen, sons, James and Joshua, daughter, Tara, stepdaughter, Shauna and stepson, Allan. Doug Arnold, a friend for many years before they worked together at the CBC, said Garland was a no-nonsense journalist who earned people's trust. "I think the secret of his work was he got to know a lot of people and they trusted him to tell the story. "He was very conscientious and very straightforward." Garland was a gifted craftsman and handyman, added Arnold. "He was extremely talented. He could do almost anything. He was great with his hands and did all his plumbing, carpentry, that sort of thing. And he had a great imagination, designed things." At the time of the 2001 interview with the Post, Garland owned his third boat, a 28 foot cruiser, and was taking navigation lessons. He was also the 'president for life' of a group facetiously named the Cape Breton Canoe and Geographic Society that met several times a year. | |||

| Gillis | Alex J. Gillis | Alex Gillis | The Casket --- Oct. 16, 1902 Alex J. Gillis, the young man killed at Broad Cove Mines, last week, was the son of the late John Gillis Jr. of Upper Margaree. A shunting engine struck a car standing on a side track, which car communicated the shock to the one under which he worked, causing it to fall off the blocks on which it rested, thus inflicting injuries from which he died in about half an hour. He was a good man in the prime of his life, sober, industrious, and well liked by all who knew him. He was married last January to a Miss MacNeil from Broad Cove, and much sympathy is felt for his grief-stricken widow and immediate friends. |

Later he was engaged for some years with Charles Curry Undertaker, and about two years ago he left for New York, where he has since resided. He was well known and universally liked in town and news of his tragic death caused a distint shock here. His remains are now en route here from New York, accompanied by his young wife, who before her marriage was Miss Elizabeth Butts of Dominion No. 6, and their little child. Surviving Mr. Gillis are his father and step-mother at New Aberdeen, a sister, Mrs. Vincent Meisner, Victoria Street and six brothers, Joe of the Coal Company's police department, Roddie and Alex, at New Aberdeen, John in Detroit, Stevie in British Columbia and Michael in Boston.

| Gillis | Flora Gillis | Cape Breton Post Page 3 | 29/08/1942 | Norma Day | The unexpected death August 23, of Mrs. John Y Gillis, deprived MacKinnon's Harbor of one of it's most beloved citizens and struck a note of heartfelt sympathy in her many friends throughout the island of Cape Breton. The late Mrs. Gillis, nee Flora Walker, eldest daughter of the late Donald Walker of Ottawa Brook, died in her 66th. year. Bereft of her own mother at an early age she early assumed the responsibilities that made her later so capable and so understanding a head of a home. During her 42 years of married life she displayed such constant devotion to duty, such genuine and all embracing charity, and with that so jovial and hearty a disposition, that her name and her home came immediately to the mind of him who thinks of MacKinnon's Harbor. Although she bore into the world seven children, her sympathetic heart would make room in the family for the orphan, and so 17 years ago she adopted her niece, Ada MacKenzie, who then an infant, had lost her mother; 5 years later, her eldest daughter, dying left Lila, then 4 years old, to be cared for also by her grandmother. Both these children were with her when she died. Despite her multiple household duties, Mrs. Gillis was proudly loyal to the Sacred Heart Chapel at MacKinnon's Harbor and the spotless condition of its altar linens always bore testimony to her simplicity of life and purity of ideal. Her motherly affection will be missed also by the priests of Iona for her home was their winter station while attending Sunday services at "The Harbor" and her passing will be learned with sorrow by the former curates, who shared her hospitality. Although the end came unexpectedly, she was prepared. The last rites of the church were administered by her pastor, and "Mrs. John Y", went peacefully to meet Him 'Whose name is Charity", that virtue she all her life tried to live and to show. The funeral was held at Iona, August 25, where solemn high mass of requiem was offered by her nephew and godchild, Rev. Dr. J H Gillis assisted by Rev. D J Rankin, P.P., deacon and Rev. C H MacDonald, Christmas Island, as sub-deacon, Rev. B.V. Chisholm was master of ceremonies. The pall bearers were six of her own nephews: Danny Walker, Joe Walker, Donald Walker, Rannie Gillis, Neil H Gillis & John Y Gillis. Besides her sorrowing husband there are left to mourn the loss of a truly Catholic mother, Dan & Josephine, at home; Catherine, New York; Flora May, Mrs Peter MacLean, Iona; Alexina, Mrs. Douglas Fraser, Halifax; also four grandchildren. Iolena, Mrs. J D MacDonald and an infant son predeceased her. She is also survived by two brothers and one sister, John Walker, Sydney; Dan & Margaret, Ottawa Brook. | |||
