SAWLOR, Robert
Gregory
Sydney
Robert « Greg » Sawlor, 67, of Sydney, passed away
Sunday, April 8th, 2018, at the Cape Breton Regional Hospital,
Sydney.
Born in Sydney, he was the son of Rita (Gaudet) and the late
Robert Sawlor.
Greg is survived by his wife of 45 years, Sharon (Cuff); son,
Scott (Danielle) and his grandson, Sam, Beaver Cove; sisters, Karen
(David) Joseph, Stephenville, NL and Donna (Craig) Buckland, Sydney;
brothers, Walter (Elaine), Sydney, Rick (Paula), Sydney and Brad
(Rhona), Fredericton, NB; sister-in-law, Shirley (Dave) MacKay, Bras
d’Or; brother-in-law, Harold, Niagara Falls, along with many
nieces and nephews.
Greg was predeceased by his sister, Brenda Sawlor and
sister-in-law, Dale Cuff.
Greg graduated from Sydney Academy and St. FX University. He
was a natural athlete, excelling in both hockey and baseball. His work
ethic was unrivalled – just ask anyone who worked with him.In
retirement, Greg felt most at home in Beaver Cove, where he enjoyed
working on projects with his son, Scott. Greg’s performances at the
annual MacDawlor gatherings will certainly be missed.
Greg loved his family fiercely. He treasured the time he
spent with his mother and anytime he spent with his grandson, Sam, was
quality time.
Greg especially loved living with his true love Sharon, who
was his « caregiver » until the end. Greg played hard, worked
hard and loved hard.
Visitation will take place from 1-2 p.m. Thursday, April
12th, 2018 in Sydney Memorial Chapel, with a service at 2 p.m. in the
chapel, Rev. Dennis Lamey officiating. Interment will take place at a
later date.
Memorials may be made to the Cancer Care Fund or the An Cala
Unit, both at the Cape Breton Regional Hospital,
Sydney.

« So
when tomorrow starts without me don’t think we’re
far apart, For every time you think of me I’m right here in
your heart. »
