Graham was a member of the Halifax Antique Car Club and refurbished a Model T-Ford. Graham was a military reservist with the Royal Canadian Electrical Mechanical Engineers (RCEME) branch in Halifax and volunteered with the Bedford Fire Department. Graham moved to Truro early in his career to settle with his young family. Graham developed many long-lasting friendships during his years in Truro and was a dedicated member of First United Church. Graham’s true work and labour of love was found in his 55 year affiliation with the many organizations of the Masonic Order. Grand Lodge of Nova Scotia, Masonic Lodge Truro 43, Philae Shriners Halifax Clown Unit, Royal Arch Chapter in Truro and Central Shrine Club. As a young boy, during his summer months in Hantsport, he participated in his first parade as a clown and later in life further enhanced his skills as “Beeper” the Clown at the Northeast Clown Institute in Plymouth, MA. His work with the Shriners Clown Unit was his true passion. He was very well known throughout Nova Scotia and would never miss a parade. Graham loved to make people happy, especially the little ones, whose smiles fueled his joy for life. Whether it was through Beeper in parades and birthday parties, or helping as Santa at holiday functions. Graham spread joy with his pleasant demeanour, his jokes, and his red nose. The family would like to thank Rev. Valerie Kingsbury for her endless support, the strong and supportive Palliative Care Team, the caregivers from Nurse Next Door who were so kind and gentle, and the VON who were involved in Graham’s care. Cremation has taken place. Due to current COVID-19 restrictions and public health guidelines, a Celebration of Life and Masonic Service will be planned for a later date. In lieu of flowers, please consider donating to a charity of one’s choice or to the one closest to Graham’s heart, the Shriners Hospital for Children. | Campbell, Graham Dugald (I16171)

| 513 | Canadian industrialist Roy Adelbert Jodrey, DCL, LLD, Hantsport, died Sunday morning in Halifax. He was 84. Born in White Rock, Kings County, he was a son of the late Joseph P. and Annie (Hartington) Jodrey. A son of a cabinet maker, Mr. Jodrey began his business career growing and exporting apples from the Annapolis Valley. With others, he built hydro-electric power plants at White Rock and for several years was managing director of Avon River Power Co. Ltd. He established Minas Basin Pulp and Power Co. Ltd. in 1927. and Canadian Keyes Fibre Co., Ltd. in 1933. His business interests extended from Newfoundland to South America. During his lifetime Mr. Jodrey was director and vice-president of many Canadian companies, and in 1959 held the distinction of sitting on more company boards then any man in Canada. At the time of his death he was an honorary-director of the Bank of Nova Scotia, Crown Life Insurance Co., Minas Basin Pulp and Paper Co. Ltd. and Canadian Keyes Fibre Co. Ltd. During his business career, Mr. Jodrey was president of Minas Basin Pulp and Paper Co. Ltd. until 1969, and Canadian Keyes Fibre Co. Ltd. He was vice-president of Eastern Chartered Trust Company and director of Canadian Cement Co. Ltd., Fraser Companies Ltd., Nova Scotia Light and Power Co. Ltd. until 1969, Algoma Central Railways companics, Hawker Siddeley Canada Ltd., Dominion Steel and Coal Corp. Ltd., until 1957 and also Dominion Coal Co. Ltd. Although Mr. Jodrey left school at 13, he made a major contribution to higher education in Nova Scotia. In 1969 he donated $250,000. each, to Dalhousie University and Acadia University to establish a chair of business administration at Dalhousie and the Roy A. Jodrey chair in science at Acadia. When Mr. Jodrey made the two donations, Dr. J. M. R. Beveridge of Acadia, said “he (Mr. Jodrey) has demonstrated in clear and unequivocal manner his high régard for universities." Mr. Jodrey received a doctor of civil law from Acadia in 1963. In 1964 he donated 400 acres of land for a provincial park in the Cape Blomidon district in the Annapolis Valley for a public park. The park was officially opened Friday. Mr. Jodrey was chosen as the Annapolis Valley’s Man of The Year in 1965. During the ceremony he told Valley residents that “people have got to work hard.” He urged them to save their money and put it to use in the Annapolis Valley. “Don't send it all out of the Valley to keep places outside. Use it to develop land and industry here, not to build up Ontario, the rest of Canada and the United States. There’s hardly anything like the Annapolis Valley in the word,” he said at the time. In the same year he was honored when the Algoma Central and Hudson Bay Railway Company, of which Mr. Jodrey was once a director, named a Great Lakes vessel, the MV Roy A. Jodrey. Mr. Jodrey was made an honorary member of the Nova Scotia Fruitgrowers Association in 1960. During the presentation he was described as one of Canada’s most outstanding financial figures. In 1957 he opposed the taking over of Dosco by the A. V. Roe of Canada Corporation, following his rejection from the board of directors of Dosco. He said that as a Nova Scotian, he wanted continuance of control by interests concerned with using raw materials — coal and ore — produced in the Atlantic area. Mr. Jodrey is survived by his wife, the former Lena Isabel Coldwell; a son, John Joseph and two daughters, Florence (Mrs. L. G. Bishop), Hantsport and Jean (Mrs. D. S. Hennigar) of Sheffield Mills.
