| Kaifosh | David George Kaifosh | Cape Breton Post | 20/11/2009 | David Kaifosh, Scotchtown Born at Scotchtown , Nova Scotia , Canada With sadness, we announce the passing of David George Kaifosh, 78, of Catherine Street, Scotchtown on Nov. 11, 2009 at Harbourstone Enhanced Care, Sydney. Born in Scotchtown, he was the son of the late John and Eva (David) Kaifosh. David married twice. He separated from his first wife, Daisy (Butler) Kaifosh, mother of his three children, Fred, Deb and Sandra. He was predeceased by his second wife, widower Theresa (Scott) Moar. David’s varied career had him working in a bank, a flower shop, driving a Coca-Cola delivery truck, serving thirteen years in the RCAF as a photographer, including a stint in Zweibrücken, West Germany, where he maintained and modified reconnaissance cameras used on the CF-104 Starfighter. After leaving the air force, he pursued work in the audio visual and printing industries until his retirement. After the death of Theresa, he returned to Scotchtown to keep an eye on his elderly mother, caring for her as long as he could. While in Scotchtown he was an active member of his parish. Like his father, he enjoyed hunting and fishing. In addition to his children, David is survived by his sister, Elsie Nagy; three nephews Michael, Kenneth and Tim Nagy; two first cousins, Margaret (Kaifosh) Lewis and Helen (Kaifosh) Ilkanic; eight grandchildren, Jennifer, David and Brian Le Bel; Patrick and Carol Kaifosh; Erin, Emma and Ari Koivu as well as three great-grandchildren, Madison Goodall-Le Bel, Andrew and Lydia Rose LeBel. He is also survived by his aunt, Violet (David) Nodge and first cousin Mary (Nodge) Smith. David and his family suffered the ravages of Frontal Lobe Dementia, which insidiously, surreptitiously, and gradually, over the course of several years took him from us and gave back someone whose behavior was not the usual. David’s message is that an older person behaving in odd ways may also be suffering similarly; be kind, be thoughtful, and above all, leave their mementos for the family. At David's request, a private visitation will be held at V.J. McGillivray Funeral Home, 380 Smith St., New Waterford. A funeral mass of celebration for David will take place Saturday, Nov. 21, 2009 at 10 a.m. in the Parish Church of St. Leonard with Father Paul MacNeil officiating. Interment will follow at St. Joseph Cemetery in Port Hawkesbury. Online expressions of sympathy may be sent to the family at: www.vjmcgillivray.ca. David’s family thanks the staff of Victoria Haven, especially Marie, who displayed great patience with David, in the early and difficult stages of his illness. As well, the staff of Harbourstone Enhanced Care who provided care in his final days, the staff at Seaview Manor who alerted us to his condition, the late Dr. Joseph Roach, Margie Turnbull, Lawrence MacDonald and many others who helped us deal with the difficulties of David’s situation. Although you may not be named, your help, support and advice was always appreciated. To Basil R., Kenny, Basil Sr. and staff of V.J. McGillivray Funeral Home, we thank you for your guidance and support during our time of grief. A special thanks to Daisy, who visited him on his final day. |

Fraser | Glace Bay, Dec. 2 - In the death of Mrs. Dan Keigan, Main street, this community suffers the loss of one beloved and respected by all who had the pleasure of her friendship. A daughter of the late Mrs. and Mrs. Donald H. MacKenzie, one of a family of six sons and six daughters, Mrs. Keigan was born in Glace Bay 77 years ago. Her husband, the late Dan Keigan of the Customs Department, predeceased her by a number of years. Three of a family of six died in infancy and those surviving are Mrs. Minerva Smart of Beverly Hills, California; Miss Nellie of the Glace bay school teaching staff, and Douglas of No. 2 colliery office. Sisters left to mourn her passing are Mrs. Alex L. Hay, Glace Bay; Mrs. Isabelle MacDonald, Hollywood; Mrs. Mary Erskine, Winnimucca, Nevada; and Mrs. Margaret MacAulay, Winnipeg. From her youth Mrs. Keigan identified herself in church work and was a lifelong member of Knox United Church. Ever active, Mrs. Keigan proved of valuable help in Sunday school, being a faithful and consistent teacher in this branch of service for many years. As a member of the Ladies’ Aid her labor was greatly appreciated, being found ever willing and ready to do her best in every way possible for the good of the organization. Gifted with exceptional histrionic talent, having a keenness of wit and the saving grace of humor, her efforts in this sphere of activity made her a popular and favorite feature in any program. In community work, such as church relief and Y.M.C.A. organization her interests were untiring. Possessed with a remarkable memory and with a fondness for recalling old times and associations, those fortunate enough to visit the home, found it a pleasure and often came away feeling that they were the ones who benefited by such visits. Cheerful, hopeful, helpful and ever looking forward with a calm steadfast and confident faith, Mrs. Keigan was an inspiration and an encouragement to many who now mourn her departure. | |||

| Kelly | A. Kelly | 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. |

She was active in politics as president of the Kits Point Grey NDP, was on the NDP provincial executive and sat on their provincial council.

| Kierans | Eric William Kierans | The C.B.Post | 11/05/2004 | Maureen McNeil | KIERANS, Eric William, P.C., O.C., B.A., LL.D (Hon.), D.C.L. (Hon.) - On May 10, 2004, in his 91st year, less than a year after the passing of his beloved wife of 65 years. Few have led as full and eclectic a life. From humble beginnings, he graduated through scholarships from Loyola High School and Loyola College, magna cum laude, in 1935 in the midst of the Depression. Employment, then, meant selling barrels of flour in the Maritimes, hamlet to hamlet. Nonetheless, he scraped together the wherewithal to marry his adored Teresa (Whelan) in November, 1938. Post Second World War, his career exploded: small businessman, entrepreneur, student (post-graduate studies at McGill in economics and at St. Thomas More Institute). He successively became professor of economics and Director of the McGill University School of Business and, subsequently, President of The Montreal and Canadian Stock Exchanges. In 1963, he was enticed into Quebec politics and The Quiet Revolution by Premier Jean Lesage, serving consecutively as Minister of Revenue, Minister of Health and President of the Quebec Liberal Federation. A committed federalist, he ran for the leadership of the Federal Liberal Party, subsequently winning election to the House of Commons and, in 1968, entering cabinet as Postmaster General and then Minister of Communications. He resigned from cabinet in 1971 and resumed his post as Professor of Economics (McGill, 1972-1980, and Dalhousie University, 1983-1984). His business and corporate directorship roles continued until his later years. In the interim, he authored and co-authored books and a Royal Commission. Perhaps his most satisfactory endeavor, in his later years, was his role in Peter Gzowski's weekly radio program "Kierans, Camp and Lewis." The initial idea was to spark debate among three prominent members of different parties. But, philosophically, no feather could be inserted among them. A role for the state, for compassion and for humanity infused each. Consequently, for a full decade, Canadians listened transfixed as the three, gently butting heads, reflected their vision of their Canada on the issues of the day. He was predeceased by a brother in childhood (Plunkett) and, later, by his younger brother Hugh. He leaves his daughter, Catherine, and his son, Thomas; as well, his sisters, Kathleen Howland and Helen Comins and his sister-in-law, Mary LeNoir Kierans; his granddaughters, Renata and Julia, their mother Inta and his daughter-in-law, Mary Janigan. They will long mourn his absence. The family will receive friends between 1 p.m. and 3 p.m. and 7 p.m. and 9 p.m. on Wednesday, May 12, at Kane and Fetterly Funeral Home, 5301 Boul. Decarie, Montreal. A funeral mass will be held in St. Ignatius of Loyola Parish Church, 4455 West Broadway, Montreal at 10 a.m. on Thursday, May 13. In lieu of flowers, the family would appreciate a donation to your charity of choice. | |||
| Kierans | Owen Kevin Hugh Kierans (L. Col.) | Cape Breton Post | 18/09/2009 | L. Col. Owen 'Kevin' Kierans, Sydney Born at Montreal , Quebec , Canada L. Col. Owen Kevin Hugh Kierans M.C., 87, of Sydney, passed away peacefully at the Cape Breton Regional Hospital, Sydney, on Monday, Sept. 14, 2009. Born in Montreal, he was the son of the late Tom and Margaret Kierans. He is survived by his sons, Gerry (Gordana), Germany, Ken (Jana), Halifax, N.S., Barry, Hamilton, Ont.; and their mother, Patricia, Truro, N.S.; grandchildren, Denis, Kathleen and Annie, Halifax, N.S. and Matthew and Carolyn, Vancouver, B.C.; and several nieces and nephews. He is also survived by his brothers, Tom, NL and Emmitt, Montreal, Que. Kevin was predeceased by his partner of 27 years, Rita Lachowiez and her son, Gary, sisters, Mona and Mollie, brothers, Martin, James and Dairmuid. Leaving Loyola College to enlists in the Canadian Army, Kevin arrived in France shortly after D-Day with the North Shore Regiment of New Brunswick as a young lieutenant. By war’s end, he saw action in France, Holland and Germany. Included in his many decorations, and the one he was most proud of was the Military Cross for “gallantry in action” while serving in Germany. Although wounded twice in battle, he was not deterred from making his career in the military. He would serve in Korea and with the United Nations in Vietnam. On retirement from the armed forces, Kevin worked for the Bank of Montreal and eventually as a business consultant in Cape Breton. As a young man, Kevin participated in a variety of sports, excelling in boxing and football, while at Loyala. A lover of books, Kevin was an avid reader of history and politics. As the son of an Irish immigrant, his passion for Ireland (which he and Rita visited on several occasions) and Irish history were second to none. He was a longtime member of Branch 12 of the Royal Canadian Legion. Kevin loved Cape Breton and particularly New Campbellton, where he and Rita lived for many years. It was there he learned to play ‘tarabish’, enjoying the game with his many friends. He was also a member of the Cape Breton Bridge Club. Kevin will be fondly remembered by his Cape Breton family, Ron (Joanne), Sydney, N.S. and their children, Glenn (Laura), Oakville, Ont., Robbie (Amanda), Halifax, N.S. and Katie, Halifax, N.S. and by Betty Ann (Pat), New Campbellton, N.S. and Ponte Vedra, Florida, USA. There will be no visitation. Cremation has taken place. Interment and the Last Post will take place at the New Campbellton Cemetery at 11 a.m. Saturday, Sept. 19, 2009.
