- John Llewellyn Tracey
It is with great sorrow that we announce the sudden passing of a loving husband and father on February 16, 2021 in Victoria, B.C. John was born on May 25, 1936 in Hantsport to Merton and Pauline (Greene). He was also predeceased by his beloved son, Jeffrey; and grandson, Cole. He was an outgoing, friendly and generous man who enjoyed interacting with others and could talk for hours if given the chance. He enjoyed playing hockey and did so until his later years. One of his favourite activities was exploring unfamiliar roads, which on one trip, led us into a seedy part of Boston but, unfazed, found his way out. It was pre-GPS but he had an excellent sense of direction and always seemed to be able navigate unknown territory. John gave a hundred percent to all things of interest to him and was especially proud of the 100 dairy cattle herd he built up. He was an avid reader and problem solver, somehow being able, most of the time, to come up with a solution to difficulties. "Cowboy logic" he'd say. He also spent many years in the construction business, working pipeline in Ontario and later working for the Town of Hantsport and also doing individual projects. John loved getting phone calls from his children of whom he was so proud. Since moving to British Columbia, he kept in touch with family and friends in Nova Scotia, and he and his cousin, Albert, were on the phone many times as they had established a close bond in childhood. Many thanks to all those at Royal Jubilee Hospital who had some part in taking such good care of John. You were so kind and helpful and it was very much appreciated.
