J.P. enjoyed many vacations to Cape Breton and in 1999 he moved to Louisbourg. We have met many caring friends who have accepted J.P. and his disability (Downs Syndrome). 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. Almost 50 years ago J.P.’s parents were told by doctors he would only live to be 20 years old and JP is proof that only God makes that decision. We love you J.P. Cremation has taken place.

| 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.

Born in Sydney Mines, Sept. 30, 1935, he was the son of the late George and Sarah (Gouthro) Gardiner. Ebby started his working days as a coal miner and draegerman at the Princess Colliery in Sydney Mines. He later went on to become a building inspector, councillor and deputy mayor of the Town of Sydney Mines. While in council, Ebby served on many boards and commissions. As a businessman, he owned and operated the Seabreeze Catering Mobile Canteens and presently Ebbie's Restaurant. Ebbie's hobbies and interests were vast. As a young man, he played baseball with the Sydney Mines Olands in 1965 and with the Al LeBlanc Aluminum Cubs in 1977. His love of baseball was evident in the many 'baseball trips' that he took to Toronto, Boston, Chicago and Detroit to see Major League teams play, and of course his joy and sometimes frustration watching the Blue Jays. His interest in horse racing took him to many tracks across Canada and the United States, but he most enjoyed his Saturday afternoons spent at the Northside Downs with Frankie, Paddy and the boys, and Old Home Week in P.E.I. Ebbie's passion for fishing took him to many ponds, brooks and rivers over the years, but some of his happiest hours were spent at the 'secret place' with Howie, where they prided themselves on catching the 'big one,' some of which were on display in his restaurant. Some of Ebbie's happiest moments were the trips he took with Faye and a good game of pool in his pool room with whoever came by. Ebby was a kind, caring and generous man who will be missed by many who knew him, and were fortunate enough to be part of his life, but no one loved him or will miss him as much as his family. Ebby is survived by his wife, Faye son, Howie (Edwina) daughters, Wendy (Derrick) Burton, Debbie (Fred) Osmond stepdaughter, Melanie (Carl) Eldridge his four grandchildren, Shawn, Brittany and Alicia Burton, Joshua Osmond, and his two step-grandchildren, Ethan and Hannah Eldridge. He is also survived by his brothers, Mickey (Jean), Frankie, Gerald and Brian (Shirley) sisters, Betty Gordon, Lorraine Gardiner and Linda (Dan) Squires his three furry pals, Babes, Callie and the Big "M" several nieces and nephews of whom he was very fond.

It is with heavy and saddened hearts that we must announce the passing of Bucky Gardnier. Bucky was a loving husband, a great father and grandfather, and most of all a best friend to his loving wife of 45 years, Ruth. He was a fun loving person who was always there when called upon. 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. Bucky's battle with cancer over the past two years showed his strength and zest for life with his positive attitude while remaining actively involved in his role as a husband, father, grandfather, brother and dear friend. Bucky is survived by his loving wife, Ruth (Clarke); sons, Darren (Lynn MacLellan), Sydney; Ian (Marlene Campbell), Mississauga; daughters, Kim (Shawn MacDonald), Halifax; Nicole (Geir Simenson), Hubley; beautiful grandchildren, Brett, Brianna, Victoria, Kyle, Alex and Ryan, all whom worshipped their Poppy for his kindness and laughter. Also surviving are brothers, Mickey, Ebby, Frankie, Gerald, Brian; sisters, Betty, Lorraine, Thelma, Linda; brothers-in-law, Larry, Stan, Michael, and Artie Clark; sister-in-law, Patrice Gillis and Marion Pullen. Bucky was predeceased by parents, George and Sarah Gardiner, and brother, Andrew. Bucky enjoyed everything there is to enjoy about sports. 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. There will be no visitation, however, the family of Bucky Gardnier invite you to join them Monday, December 4 in St. Pius X Church in Sydney Mines at 11 a.m. for a church service to celebrate Bucky's life, to be officiated by Father Hughie MacNeil.

| 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. | |||

The loved ones of Tapiwa Gate would like to extend their deepest appreciation to the remarkable staff of the CBRH Cancer Centre and ER, particularly Dr. T. Ago, for the wonderful care and attention he received on his many visits. He truly considered you all his friends and was overwhelmed by the kindness and concern of the staff of both the hospital and the university. Though he passed into eternal rest with his family at his side in Harare, he left a part of his heart in Cape Breton. A memorial service will be held Oct. 4, 2005, 7:30 p.m., in Cape Breton University Chaplaincy (across from Campus Bookstore).

Gillis received the tragic news tonight that his son, Charles, had been killed while at work in New York City today. As far as the family know, Gillis was employed with George Morley and Billy Scott from here in building a large tunnel in New York City underneath the Hudson River, but no details of how he was killed were contained in the message announcing his death. The late Mr. Gillis was 32 years of age and went overseas early in the war with the No. 1 Tunnelling Corps, with which he served throughout the war with distinction taking part in the many feats that that brave crowd of Cap Breton miners took part in the great war. He was severly wounded and after returning from overseas spent a number of months in Camp Hill Hospital at Halifax. 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.
