John), Marion Bridge, Carol Walsh (Robert), New York City; 10 grandchildren and two great-grandchildren. Don was a BSc honours graduate from the University of British Columbia (mechanical engineering) in 1941. A curious and lively intellect led him into a challenging career. First with the engineering firm of Armstrong Wood in Toronto, designing sophisticated weaponry for the Armed Forces, then to the National Research Council in Ottawa. In the 1940s he was part of an international team (New Zealand, Russia, Germany, U.K.) that designed and constructed the first nuclear reactor (code-name ZEEP) to go critical outside the U.S. This was the beginning of the Chalk River project and Canada's nuclear program. In the 1950s he managed the design and engineering of the supersonic high speed wind tunnel that was used in the Avro Arrow project. In 1958, he joined Canadian General Electric in Peterborough, eventually becoming one of the pioneers in its Civilian Atomic Power Department. He was responsible for the site selection (Point Tupper), construction and operation of Canada's first successful heavy water plant. At the request of R.B. Cameron he came to Sydney in 1970 to determine what to do with the failed Glace Bay heavy water plant. After overseeing the rehabilitation of that plant, the new government of Gerald Regan shut it down. In 1973, he was engaged to do an energy analysis of the Sydney Steel plant and until he retired in 1980, his advice was sought on various technical matters for Sysco. Since retirement he indulged in his passion for wine and travel (Opimian Society). He was an active life member of the YMCA, a working partner in his wife's interior design firm, an avid reader and a crossword fanatic. A gentle man who enjoyed the challenges of life.

| Nearing | Gregory Charles Nearing | Cape Breton Post | 20/11/2009 | Gregory Nearing, Lethbridge Born in 22/09/1961 at Glace Bay , Nova Scotia , Canada It is with deep sadness that we, the family of Gregory Charles Nearing, 48, announce his unexpected passing on November 15, 2009 at his home in Lethbridge, Alberta. Born in Glace Bay, September 22, 1961, and raised in Reserve Mines, he was the son of the late Basil and Margaret (MacDonald) Nearing. Gregory is survived by his wife Diane Buckland; sons David and Thomas; daughter Sara (Jason) Hood and grand-daughter Avah Gray Hood; brother David (Paula) Nearing; sister Marion (Bill) Turner and nieces and nephew Amandah, Megan and Brandon. Gregory graduated from Reserve District High in 1979, Saint Francis Xavier University in 1982, and Dalhousie Law School in 1986. He was called to the bar of the Northwest Territories in 1987 and to the bar of Nunavut in 1999. He practiced criminal law and worked as a crown prosecutor and defense attorney. He also held the position of Executive Director of the Legal Services Board of the Northwest Territories for a number of years. He served as Treasurer and President of the Northwest Territories’ Law Society prior to the Territories separation, President of the Nunavut Law Society and various positions with the Canadian Bar Association. By far the most significant position he held was not one with an official title - it was his unofficial role as mentor to young counsel. Gregory always took the time to assist young lawyers -whether it was on a particular file, helping them adjust to practicing law for a living, or helping them deal with personal issues. His genuine kindness towards all who knew him and unselfish compassion for those less fortunate than he, had no limit. His quick wit will also be sadly missed. Cremation has taken place. Visitation with will be held on Monday, November 23, at the V.J. McGillivray Funeral Home, 16 Reserve St., Glace Bay, from 2-4 p.m. and 7-9 p.m. The Funeral Mass of Resurrection will be celebrated at Saint Joseph’s Church, Reserve Mines, Tuesday, November 24 at 1 p.m. with Father Robert McNeil officiating.

I could not stay another day, To laugh, to love, to work or play. Tasks left undone must stay that way, I found the peace at the close of day. If my parting has left a void, Then fill it with remembered joys, A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss. O yes, these things I too will miss. Be not burdened with times of sorrow. My life’s been full, I savored much, Good friends, good times, a loved one’s touch. Perhaps my time seems all too brief Don’t lengthen it now with undue grief. Lift up your hearts, and peace to thee. God wanted me now; He set me free. | 07/07/1999 | Born in Glace Bay | ||||
