| 1281 | NORMAN, Cameron Jeffrey \'Jeff\' Jeff’s family is heartbroken to announce his passing on Saturday, January 4, 2020 after a very brief illness. Born May 25, 1957 in Bridgewater, to Kay (Parsons) and Lloyd Norman. Jeff lived at various times in Liverpool, Fredericton, North Sydney, Halifax, Truro, Kentville, and Windsor. He eventually settled and raised his family in Barrington, but always considered Windsor home, eventually retiring there in 2011. After graduating from Acadia University with his Bachelor of Education, Jeff began his 29-year teaching career. He started in the Core French Program in Berwick and then helped start the Elementary French Program in Shelburne County. After 10 years, he transitioned into a regular classroom. Jeff also taught in the High School Driver’s Education program, helping many students earn their license. Jeff cared deeply for all his students and kept in touch with many of them over the years. Jeff enjoyed spending summers at his beloved cottage in Cheverie, where many fond memories were made with family and friends. Many of Jeff’s culinary creations are as infamous and renowned as his prolific story telling ability. His \'Norm-isms\' will surely be missed. He had a keen interest in motorsports and all things automotive. He was passionate about his vehicles and loved to share his enjoyment of them with others. He had a keen interest in fine watches and could usually be found wearing two from his collection at any given time. Even in retirement, he took great joy in helping out two days a week at his granddaughter’s school to help educate on the perils of bullying. He had endless compassion for people and animals, always ready to lend a hand or ear as necessary. He was predeceased by parents Kay and Lloyd Norman (of Windsor); grandparents, Gladys and Arthur Parsons (of Windsor) and Hannah Belle and Augustus Norman (of St. John’s, N.L.). | Norman, Cameron Jeffrey (I1562)

| 1300 | OICKLE, John Arlington 'Arlie' At the age of 101 years, passed away to take his place in Heaven on October 4, 2019 in Camp Hill Veterans’ Memorial Building, QEII. Born in Lower West Northfield on September 13, 1918, he was a son of the late Harlan and Edna (Bruhm) Oickle. John was predeceased by his brother, Leroy Oickle; and his youngest daughter, Anne Marie McDonald (of Breadalbane, P.E.I.). John wore so many hats in life and he wore them well! - that of devoted husband, proud and supportive father of eight children, caring grandfather, loving great-grandfather, decorated RCAF Veteran, dedicated teacher, community-minded and a most generous of spirit gentleman. John lived life to the fullest with his wife Anne by his side for over 73 years. He lived a most remarkable and honorable life. John joined the RCAF in 1941 retiring in 1963 with the rank of Flight Lieutenant. John loved to fly, he learned to fly on the Tiger Moth, and he especially loved to fly the Avro Canada CF-100. As an RCAF pilot he had incredible experiences; 'Jack' (as he was known by his flying buddies) received the North Atlantic Star medal. He had a direct connection to the AVRO Arrow story in 1958 as he did some advisement on the instrumentation panel for the Arrow and he was an approved test pilot for it. A dream that was never realized, as the Diefenbaker Government chose to discontinue the Arrow. Upon retirement he moved his wife and children to Nova Scotia where he managed the Halifax Flying Club as the Chief Flying Instructor, flew as an on-call pilot for the original Air Atlantic patrolling the Transatlantic Cable between Nova Scotia and Newfoundland, often accompanied by his sons. He then followed a career as an Industrial Arts/Drafting teacher at Sackville Heights Junior High for 14 years, often speaking so fondly of the students he taught in his portable drafting classroom. As a proud and conscientious citizen with strong leadership skills he believed in service to his church and community; he served in many ways that most would not be aware of. John and Anne were active members of St. Rose of Lima Catholic Church, Fall River for over 40 years. He served the Church in many capacities as Eucharistic minister, minister of the Word, catechetical teacher and charter member of the Knights of Columbus as well as a Fourth Degree Knights of Columbus. He received the Order of Merit from Archbishop James Hayes in 2001. He was a lifetime member of the Royal Canadian Legion, Dieppe Branch, Waverley. One of his great passions in life was the outdoors; camping with his kids, waterskiing with the kids on Chambly Basin, walking through the woods in Bridgewater, canoeing up the lake in Waverley, gardening and growing all sorts of berries to make his own delicious wine, and trying to keep the birds off his prized blueberry bushes. John loved to build; he was a master carpenter. He and Anne designed and built their home of 40 years on the shores of Lake William; he built a carriage house to house his workshop and a lean-to for his treasured antique tractor. He even went as far as to build a barn for the girls’ goat and horse. Dad will always be remembered as the loving Dad to call on no matter the day or the time...if the furnace wasn’t working or the car was making a strange noise; lending an ear if life was bumpy or sharing his homemade wine or delicious strawberry and rhubarb jam. He made the best oatmeal-coconut cookies without a recipe. Dad was an incredible storyteller and even in his last years he could recall in great detail, his days as a youngster driving his first car or his days flying across Canada and the United States. We will always remember his walking us out to the car after a memorable visit to wave good-bye, wearing his plaid woodsman jacket and cap. Funeral service will be held on Friday, October 11th in St. Rose of Lima Catholic Church, Fall River at 11 a.m. with Rev. Father Michael Walsh presiding. A reception will follow in the church. Family flowers only please. A private family burial will be held in Oakridge Memorial Gardens, Middle Sackville. | Oickle, John Arlington (I10740)

| 1301 | OIKLE, Mary Edna - 85, Mahone Nursing Home, Mahone Bay, Lunenburg Co., died November 21, 1999, in the home. Born in Windermere (near Berwick), she was the youngest daughter of the late John and Ella (Borden) Powers. Married to Emerson Earl Oikle on June 10, 1937, she lived in Hantsport where she made strawberry boxes for Hantsport Fruit Basket Co. (Murray's Mill). The summer cottage at Green Bay (Petite Riviere Bridge) became her last residence. Edna graduated from Mario's School of Hair Design and set up a summer hairdressing service in her living room for visitors and tourists. During the winter months, Edna traveled to Miami, Fla. and was employed as a switchboard operator for two hotels, including the Fountainbleu. Upon retirement, Edna devoted her life to her grandchildren, the flower and vegetable gardens enjoyed by many of the community. Crochet afghans and handcrafts occupied many winter hours. She was predeceased by her husband, Emerson Oikle; sister, Mildred Burbidge; brother, Vernon Powers; niece, Marjorie Auchteronie; nephews, Ivan Patterson, Elmer Oikle. | Powers, Mary Edna (I14130)

| 1302 | OIKLE, Richard Gordon 'Rick' — 65, Hantsport, passed away peacefully Monday, August 27, 2012, in the VG Site, QEII, Halifax. Born February 10, 1947, in Windsor, he was the son of the late Elmer 'Happy' and Elizabeth 'Betty' (Robertson) Oikle. Rick grew up and was raised in Hantsport. He worked 44 combined years at Minas Basin Pulp & Power and CKF Inc., retiring in 2006. Rick was an avid geocacher and he logged many miles on his adventures.

| 1306 | On Friday, December 7, 2018, Craig Winfield Davison, father, brother, and uncle passed away at the age of 61 years. He was the son of the late Robert and Madge Davison. Craig was a devoted family man and avid lover of life. He was generous, compassionate, caring and loved by many. His weekends consisted of biking, skiing, and of course, kayaking. He was an accomplished musician and lover of music of all types. One of Craig's favorite pastimes was attending concerts with his friends and family. His life was well lived- full of love, and adventure. He will be missed by so many, but his spirit will remain in all of our lives forever.

| 1307 | On Saturday, December 7, 2019 we, the family of Maureen Lee Salter of Hantsport, lovingly said goodbye to an incredible wife, mother, grandmother, friend, neighbor and community volunteer. She meant the world to us and in turn, she cared so deeply for each of us that her greatest gift was helping us cope with letting her go. Maureen (nee Browne) was also predeceased by her brother, Thomas Wayne Browne and by Carl\'s son, Dave Salter. Our Mum had so many wonderful qualities. She was born in Windsor and raised in Falmouth, being the only daughter of Thomas and Margaret (Akin) Browne. She was very proud of her Irish heritage. Her father immigrated from Islandmagee, Northern Ireland. She was a graduate of Windsor Academy and Windsor School of Business. As a young woman she worked for Vic Cleyle\'s clothing store and later in life, Tatum\'s Fashion and Bridal. Mum was definitely a people person and often behind still chatting while Carl waited patiently in the car for her. Over the years, Mum enjoyed volunteering at the Windsor Elms, Hantsport Food Bank, Hantsport Memorial Community Centre, Hantsport Hospital Auxiliary and the Hantsport Fire Department Ladies Auxiliary. She was active in the Lockhartville United Baptist Church as a deacon and faithful member. She was also involved in and valued organizing the Apple Blossom Festival teas and the royal party visits to Hantsport. She enjoyed being a member of the Crown Jewels (Red Hatters). We were gifted with a wonderful, caring supportive mother who was our biggest fan cheering us on at sports, school events, pageants and in life. She never hesitated to volunteer to drive, chaperone, organize or fundraise for our activities. She wanted only the best for us and for us to be our best. She gave selflessly, not only to us but also to her extended family members, being a caregiver to several over the years. She was a huge fan of Canadian figure skating, especially Kurt Browning and was thrilled to attend skating competitions and ice shows meeting the skaters. She was a keen follower of the British Royal Family and their fashion sense. Mum loved the music of Rita MacNeil and Anne Murray and the opportunities she had to meet them in person. She not only loved people but also adored her Sheltie dogs. She had a very special place in her heart for a certain Schnauzer named Martini. A private interment will be held in Centre Falmouth Cemetery, Falmouth. | Browne, Maureen Lee (I7954)

| 1308 | On Sunday, February 19, 1815, twenty-one-year-old Lucinda Hall and six others left their enslavement on George Loker\'s farm and boarded the British frigate Havannah. She escaped with six others, including Leah Hantes, Margaret Clem and her three daughters, and Hall\'s daughter Letty Hall. Lucy\'s husband, Jacob Hall, a slave of Robert Dunkinson, had already escaped to the ship when she and her daughter came on board. All seven slaves were transferred to the Orlando on February 27, 1827. Four of Hall\'s fellow slaves—Margaret Clem and her three daughters—were listed among slaves who arrived in Halifax, Nova Scotia, between 1815 and 1818. Maryland State Archives | Lucinda (I545)

| 1309 | On Tuesday, April 11, 2023, as the workday was ending, with a clear awareness and cancer consumed body, as was his plan, Bob watched from his window one more time as the setting sun began its slow journey to quietly blanket his beautiful community of Avonport, and he begrudgingly conceded a win to the disease. Some people believe in Superman. We had Bob. We didn’t always see eye to eye, but always, heart to heart. Bob was the second of eleven children born to Vance and Mary (Levy) Smith, and decidedly, the loudest. At the age of 23, Bob married Cathy Yeaton, his opposite. She was a very fashionable, gentle, soft spoken, shy, blond beauty from Hantsport, that did not like to get dirty, and could charm him into submission with her quiet ‘that’s enough Bob’, or the famous ‘look’. Together, he and Cathy embraced and enjoyed an abundance of friends, family, travel, and adventure, while raising their two handsome and talented boys, Luke and Adam, into fine young men. And their house was not a home without a dog or two running around. As a sports enthusiast and music lover, Bob was a proud, loud, and avid supporter of Luke and Adam in their sports, music endeavors and careers. As well as many dearly loved aunt’s, uncle’s, and cousins from all three families, many of whom he shared a very humorous and special relationship with. And so many friends, and friends of friends, and friends of their kids; clearly from a generation that was thick-skinned and could handle his jokes, teasing and insults, and come back for more. All in genuine, good, fun. Bob was heartbroken and predeceased by his first love and devoted wife, Cathy Yeaton; parents, Vance and Mary (Levy) Smith; father-in-law, Russ Yeaton; niece, Heidi (Smith) King; sister-in-law, Mary (Hill) Smith; Kim’s niece, Nikol Balcom, and numerous, abundantly loved relatives. As grief is all consuming, Bob was no stranger to the difficulty in adjusting to loss. Although he knew Kim Patterson’s family from living in the same community, their paths had never crossed, and yet when they met over twenty years ago, their friendship developed with ease as they realized they had so much in common. Kim was younger, but an equal match in her fearless strength, energy, fun and enthusiasm in their outdoor activities and adventures. Perhaps a surprise to Bob when he realized his best friend was a girl, and she was confident in standing her ground. Whether they were cooking, pickling, hunting, fishing, golfing, 4-wheeling, travelling to resorts or deep in the wilderness, they shared a commitment and partnership. Kim and Bobby provided each other with balance, love and support. Their dream of building a home together came to life with a great deal of planning, talent and hard work when SugarHill was created. Of course, in true Bob fashion, always with gentle, soft-spoken instruction, and never a tool thrown across the field! From the inside to the outside, with a vast and beautiful view, (Bob insisted he could see as far as Middleton), their lovely gardens carefully crafted as a showcase of produce and pathways, they watched as their property became a haven for enjoyment, social events and blending their Smith, Yeaton and Patterson families. Bob’s life-long appreciation of nature, the land, sea, and sky, began as a young boy as he found great satisfaction and fulfillment to plant, fish, hunt and create from the earth. He embraced every season for what he could achieve and what it provided in its bounty, entertainment, and beauty. He had all the gear, toys, and tools to be outside, every day. He lived by the verse: "Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime." Bob was always busy. He only had time for idle chatter and storytelling, when he was the one talking, but you could be assured it would be highly entertaining, and somewhat unbelievable. There was not an umpire, referee, coach, teacher, employee, store clerk, utility technician, or family member, who knew anything. He did not shy away from voicing his opinion. Whether in a crowd, sitting in the stands, or at the dinner table, this verbal barrage strangely became acceptable, and many people looked forward to it. When asked if Bob was your relative, you were never sure if you should proudly say "yes" or timidly "why are you asking?". As a sibling, there was no way to prepare for a feisty argument with Bob. If you chose to prove your point, you were in for a lengthy battle; yet his unspoken rule was "I can fight and argue with my family, but if you lay a hand on them, you’ll be dealing with me". He could quickly ignite your emotions, and leave you wondering if you should smile, laugh, shake your head, hug him, or hit him. Bob’s sense of fashion in the last few years was, that he didn’t have one. He defied every color and plaid combination and his Mother Mary’s rules for ironing. His entrance to every event was a surprise. Bob’s personality, and his hair, was an eclectic combination of Willie Nelson, Albert Einstein, one of the Muppets, and Rambo. He was special. Bob did not do anything in a small or quiet way. The fact that he could sit still and speechless in a tree-stand for hours a day while hunting, will possibly be added to the existing "wonders of the world". An outdoor concert featuring Adam’s Band required a portable, covered stage with windows to enjoy the view. A family wedding inspired Bob to cut and fell enough trees from his property to make an outdoor tent to host a large crowd, with a sturdy frame and a plastic covering with no seams in case of rain, and a fire pit for a three hundred cob, corn boil. When his family wanted to host a reunion, the tent was brought back to life, with space cleared for people to park, camp, play games, fly kites, dance, sing, watch fireworks, and be well fed for three days. The seamless roof passed the test with a full day of torrential rain that sent many scrambling for rubber boots but did not dampen the spirits of the 160+ people in attendance. When his granddaughters came to visit, on a whim, maybe they would build a small outdoor playhouse in one day, or make a luge from the second story bedroom window on a snowy winter day to coast into the yard, run back through the house in snow gear to be lifted through the window again, to have another turn; or maybe learn to start a fire, ride a 4-wheeler, use a chain saw, fly a kite. Whatever the activity, it would be fun, foolish, and outlandish. Bob the Builder was also the prop creator, greeter, and ticket taker at the girls dance recitals. Thanks to whoever kept him off the stage. Ever the creator, inventor, and entertainer, he had a fascination with kite building and flying. The kite symbolizes the flyer’s quest for freedom and control, and like the kite that must fly against the wind to reach greater heights, Bob often went against the grain, challenging the odds of survival, and lived his life on his own terms. His mind never stopped. Bob did not understand boredom or laziness. If you were troubled, tired or had an issue, he would put you to work. He always had a purpose because he always had a project on the go. He had to fly the highest kite, make the biggest snow creation, the most intricate sand sculpture, the longest sledding hill, catch the biggest fish, bring home the largest deer, plant the first seeds, grow a garden to feed a community, make the best bread, pie, pickles, and plan the biggest party. Bob did not just love to work, he lived to work. His career as a mason, artist and craftsman spanned many years and his projects can be found from Goose Bay, Labrador, St. John’s, Newfoundland, the Bahamas, throughout the Annapolis Valley and beyond. We encouraged him to teach his trade and pass on his skills and talent, but by today’s health and safety standards, safe work practices, sensitivity training and the daily expectation to show up, no one would return on the second day, IF they happened to survive the first one. When everyday brick became boring, he designed and built forms to make his own individual rock, stone, and brick, by hand. Mortar, sand, and concrete were his friends. A foundation for creativity. Sadly, cancer arrived and developed into a harsh and cruel opponent. Kim navigated how to manage and administer Bob’s treatment, care, and communication with a steady stream of family and friends. She provided a calming climate for a very stubborn patient who had spent a lifetime ensuring his environment was within his control. He operated on his own terms. With heartfelt gratitude, we give thanks to Kim, his incredibly patient partner, laborer, adventurer, and caregiver. Kim was devoted, steadfast, and genuine in her commitment to love and comfort Bob these past years, and especially during his most difficult days. As much as we are truly lost and deeply saddened by Bob’s passing, we are grateful that he was not a twin. "A sibling is the lens through which we view our childhood". Bob has always compelled the most attention, mostly by his voice when he enters a room, completely unaware of his interruption, that’s just the way it was. It came as no surprise that he would somehow control the order of his family to be the first sibling to go. He would assume the responsibility to chart out the territory and pave the way for the rest of us. We have received a generous outpouring of love, concern and kind words during Bob’s illness and death, and when the time comes for the last one of us to release the kite string, others will be saying, "Finally, we’ve heard enough about those Smith kids". Bob’s ability to create, tell stories and his sense of adventure will be dearly missed, the void of his presence is profoundly felt, he was a "doer," a fixer, a builder, our superman, our protector. In his final words, "Love You Forever". Cremation has taken place and an informal, drop-in gathering with family, friends and refreshments is scheduled for the evening of Tuesday, May 23, 2023 at the Avonport Baptist Church vestry, from 6:00-8:00 p.m. If interested, donations in memory of Bob can be made to the Avonport Baptist Church to acknowledge Bob’s efforts in the design and construction of the church, and to be disbursed through the church’s outreach objectives that support the Hantsport and L.E. Shaw School Breakfast Programs, the Food Bank, Kingswood Camp, Valley Hospice, Valley Regional Hospital Foundation, Palliative Care, VON, and more. | Smith, Robert Vance (I2423)
