- BENEDICT, Alfred Wilson — 87, of Haliburton Place, Windsor, formerly of Mount Denson, Hants Co. We are greatly saddened to announce the passing of our Dad on Saturday, March 27, 2010, in Hants Community Hospital, Windsor. Born on February 10, 1923 in Falmouth, Hants Co., he was the youngest of 12 children of the late Freeman and Olive (Patterson) Benedict. As a young man, Dad worked on the family farm in Falmouth and worked in the woods logging with the horses he loved and had a great rapport with. Later he owned a trucking business and then went on to carpentry work and finished his working career as a carpenter foreman at CKF Inc. in Hantsport. Dad enjoyed bowling for many years on a team with his son, Dean, loyal nephew, Marshall Benedict and friends from work. He also loved to play horseshoes in the summer and later on to washer toss. He was an avid fan of the Toronto Blue Jays and Toronto Maple Leafs. Alfred resided in Haliburton Place in Windsor for the last two years where he made many friends. Alfred was predeceased by his wonderful wife of 57 years, the former Stella Greenough (2002); son, Terry Richard in infancy; brothers, Lawson, Clarence, Eustace, and Everett; sisters, Flora, Mabel, Eva, Lena, Verna, Thelma and Rita. Interment will be in Mount Denson United Baptist Cemetery, Mount Denson.
