STARRATT, Wilbur Hedley

Of Sackville. It is with sad hearts we announce Wilbur’s passing on June 16, 2020 peacefully at home with loved ones close by. Born in Hantsport, on November 30, 1933, he was the son of the late Lloyd and Leonore (Bishop) Starratt. During his lifetime he wore many hats including: Mechanic, Carpenter, Entrepreneur, Teacher, Counsellor, Chairman of KCSB, Assistant Engineer-Gypsum Boats, Mechanical Superintendent-National Gypsum, Wheeler Dealer, Owner/Operator of a General Store and two Service Stations. Wilbur settled into semi-retirement during winter in Arizona, enjoying the hot dry climate golfing and meeting new friends. Out-going by nature, he was quick witted with a playful sense of humour, strong work ethic, a commitment to fair play and a deep love of country music. He was one of the founding members of the band "Ebb Tide" that became well-known on the Shore and surrounding area for their dances, fundraisers and entertaining in Seniors’ facilities. A jam session always occurred whenever family or friends dropped by. In his early years he was heavily involved with playing hockey and baseball for local teams. He played for, and later coached, the Hantsport Shamrocks when they won the Eastern Senior A Men’s Baseball Championship in 1961. Family was especially important to Wilbur. Gatherings, special occasions, and reunions were always filled with music, laughter, and good food. He taught important life skills such as his commonsense attitude, wisdom, honesty, compassion for and love of animals and farming. If questioned he would reply, "I may not be right, but I am never wrong." Wilbur was a much-loved husband, father and grandfather and will be greatly missed. Wilbur was predeceased by daughter, Ruth Ann Bernard; son-in-law, Alan Levy; brother-in-law, Ivan (Whitey) Mclellan. Due to current Nova Scotia Health regulations concerning Covid-19 Virus a private family interment will be held in Pleasant Hill Cemetery, Sackville. Donations in memory of Wilbur made be made to Hantsport Shamrocks, Hantsport Baptist Church Building Fund, or charity of choice.

Wilbur married Shirley Amelia Demings. Shirley (daughter of Guy Alton Demings and Hattie Matilda Stonehouse) was born on 28 Oct 1935 in Springhill, Cumberland, Nova Scotia; died on 8 Jan 2019 in Leduc, Alberta. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
