KAY HADDAD REMEMBERED AS FUN, CARING WOMAN By Laura Jean Grant, Cape Breton Post, Sydney The owner of a well-known Sydney restaurant is being remembered as a kind, generous woman who was never too busy to stop and chat with her many faithful customers. Kay Haddad - who along with her late husband Simon, owned and operated Kay's Kozy Korner, on Townsend Street, for more than 50 years died Tuesday. Her death came as a blow to many in the local community, including the restaurant's regular customers and its employees. Margie Jobe has worked at Kay's Kozy Korner for 12 years and said she'll remember Kay as a warm, caring person. "Myself and most people who knew her will remember her laugh," she said. "She was full of fun. She was a very warm person." Jobe said the restaurant has a large number of regular customers which she credits to the outgoing personalities of kay and Simon. He passed away in 1999. "Half came for the food and half came for the personalities who ran it," she said. "Kay and Simon both would go around to the tables and talk to the people." Jobe added Kay's death has had an impact on a lot of people because she was such a well known and respected member of the community. "There's a lot of people going to miss Kay. She was a good woman," said Jobe. For Sydney resident Blair Joseph, who grew up about a block away from Kay's Kozy Korner, Kay was a part of his childhood. "She was like a second mother to all the boys in the neighbourhood," he said. "Everybody always went to hang out at Kay's Kozy Korner." Joseph said it was tradition for the boys in the area to stop in at the restaurant for chips and pop on their way home from the former Sydney Forum. "It was a unique place to go. It was a nice place with a good atmosphere," he said. The fact that Kay would let boys from the neighbourhood work off the cost of their meal if they were a little short on money was another added bonus, Joseph recalled. Joseph said he has countless memories from his time spent at the restaurant including the caring and fun relationship between kay and Simon. "It's hard to mention Kay without talking about her husband, Simon," he said. Joseph recalled that Simon faithfully washed the windows of the restaurant every day and Kay would always tell him he missed a spot and he'd do it again. He said the chore was a long-running joke between the couple. He added the couple will also be remembered as generous supporters of the local community. Joseph said he'll remember Kay as a hard working and caring individual. "She was a wonderful person and raised a great family," he said. Haddad is survived by two sons, two daughters, eight grandchildren, and several siblings. Visitation for Haddad will take place today from 2-4 and 7-9 p.m. at the T.W. Curry Parkview Chapel. The funeral is set for 11 a.m. Saturday in St. Joseph's Church. |

EXTRA ************ Hockey legend Hanna dies Original Six standout among best Bluenosers to play game BY BRAD ROWE CAPE BRETON POST SYDNEY One of Nova Scotia's hockey legends has passed away. John 'Junior' Hanna of Sydney lost a long and courageous battle with cancer Sunday morning and with his family by his side passed away at the Cape Breton Regional Hospital. He was 70. Hanna has long been considered one of the greatest hockey players to call Nova Scotia home. He was a member of a small fraternity from this province to play in the NHL during the Original Six days. "When we were kids growing up playing hockey, John was an icon to us, especially in the Lebanese community," said Blair Joseph, a longtime friend and assistant coach with the Cape Breton Screaming Eagles. "Everybodyknewhis history as far as him starting late playing hockey. He never even put on skates until he was 13 and didn'tgo away until he was 18.For him to just jump on atrain and go away to Montrealand try out for a hockey team and eventually end up playing in the BigSix was quitea thing." Hanna played three seasons of junior in theQuebec Hockey League - two withChicoutimi and one with Trois-Rivieres - before turning pro with the ProvidenceReds of the AmericanHockey League in 1957. He was just 23 yearsold when he broke in to the NHL with the NewYork Rangers in 1958. He also played with the MontrealCanadiens and PhiladelphiaFlyers during a pro playing career that spanned 17 seasons."He was a great person for the community, a great hockey man," said Joseph. "I went to visit him when he was in the hospital and one thing he said was he hoped he would feelgood enough to go to another Eagles game. Once you're a hockey person, you're always a hockeyperson. He wanted to get out and enjoy one more hockey game." Hanna turned to coaching during the 1973-74 season when he was playercoach for the Jacksonville Barons of the AHL. His pro coaching career spanned four seasons - three in the AHL and one in the SouthernHockey League. When he returned home to Cape Breton, Hanna became very active in thelocal hockey community atboth the coaching and administrative levels. He was still serving on the executive of the Nova Scotia Major Midget HockeyLeague at the time of his death. Hanna loved totalk hockey "He had a big influence on me as a coach," said Paul Coleman, a close friend of Hanna's oldest son, John Jr., and former coach of the Cape Breton midget 'AAA' team. "He gave me a piece of advice when I started coaching the midget team. He said the biggest thing is to be accountable and walk in the rink through the front door and out through the front door. That's the way he did things. He was always accountable and always straightforward with everybody. That's what he taught to his players and the people around him." Hanna's stellar hockey career earned him induction into both the Nova Scotia Sport Hall of Fame and Cape Breton Sport Hall of Fame. "There's an old saying: if you get a lot out of the game, it's great to make sure you give something back. John Hanna was a great example of that," said Joseph. "He loved hockey and sports so much," said Coleman. "If you wanted to talk hockey, he had time for everybody. That's what he loved to do. It always brought a smile to his face and generally put a smile on the faces of the people he was speaking to." Visitation will be held in Sydney Memorial Chapel today from 2-4 and 7-9 p.m. and Tuesday 2-4 p.m. and 7-9 p.m.A mass to celebrate his life will be held at 10 a.m. Wednesday at St. Joseph's Church. browe@cbpost.com | |||

| Hart | Nelson Hart | Sydney Post-Record | 16/02/1940 | Leland Harvie | Margaree Youth Is Fatally Injured Falling Tree Strikes Nelson Hart, 21, Causing Severe Skull Fracture Northwest Margaree, Feb. 16 - Victim of a distressing accident in the woods a half mile from his home here yesterday afternon, Nelson Hart, 21, died from the effects of a fractured skull when a falling tree struck him. With his brother Fulton, George Crowdis and several other companions, Hart was engaged in cutting firewood at the time of the unfortunate occurrence. Rendered unconscious from the terrific impact of the blow, he was carried to the home of his uncle Andrew Fraser and succumbed there two hours afterward. Called to the scene, Dr. Boudrot on examination found that the skull had been severely fractured and his findings were later corroborated by Dr. Frank MacLeod, of Inverness, who happened to be in the district on professional business yesterday afternoon. Because the circumstances of the incident were purely accidental, an inquest was deemed unnecessary.

Besides his parents, he is survived by one sister, Eva and six brothers, Fulton, Tom, Sanford, Everett, Seward and Chester.

Gene graduated from Sydney Academy and attended Normal College in Truro to pursue her lifelong passion - teaching. Gene taught in the Sydney school system for over 30 years and retired early due to poor health. She was often amazed when a student of many years past would greet her on the street and ask if she remembered them. She was always interested in being brought up to date on their lives and it was most rewarding to her to have played a small part in every child's growth and development. Gene was involved in the Nova Scotia Teachers Union. She was the first female president of the local union, working successfully to gain equality for the married woman in the teaching profession. She was also a member of the Sydney Retired Teachers Association. Gene was an active member of the Eastern Star. She was also a gifted soloist in the community and sang at many weddings, funerals and minstrel shows so popular in the 50's and 60's. She was also well-known as the soloist for the Trinity Male Chorus, thus being the only female in a male-dominated group. Besides her parents, Gene was predeceased by her sisters, Doris Young and Adelaide Green, and by her beloved husband of 47 years, George. Gene is survived by her only child, Bruce and his wife Judy (Tonell), Lebanon, New Hampshire, and by her grandson, Liam, Dartmouth. Several nieces and nephews and countless friends also survive her. In particular, Helen MacNeil, Norma Gillis and Jemima and Tony Shaw watched over her like the true angels they are. Finally, "Mrs. Hennessey" will always be remembered by the hundreds of children who she taught throughout her career - those smiling faces she loved and nurtured while in her care. Rest in peace, Mother. Visitation will be held in Sydney Memorial Chapel today from 7-9 p.m. and Friday 2-4 and 7-9 p.m. Funeral service will be held in St. George's Church on Saturday at 11 a.m., Rev.
