Charles Irving Arbuckle
1932-2019
Born March 20, 1932 in Sutherland’s River, Pictou County, son of
Irving and Bertha (Austin) Arbuckle, passed away June 8, 2019.
He was predeceased by all his siblings and his son, Paul.
Survived by his wife of 64 years, Eileen (MacDonald); daughters
Kathryn and Heather (Jeff Hopkins); grandchildren, Alex (Hazen Fry)
and Stephen Arbuckle; Kristen, Lauren and Ryan Hopkins.
Born into humble beginnings, Charlie valued simple life and enjoyed
the richness of family, hard work, the outdoors and a good meal. He
loved to tell stories of growing up on the farm in Pictou County and
working with the Royal Bank. He joined the bank at age 17, met Eileen
while working together in Sydney, married in 1955 and spent a 40 year
career throughout Nova Scotia and Newfoundland while raising a family
he loved dearly. After retirement he enjoyed many summers at his
cottage and in 2004 moved to Mahone Bay to enjoy being closer to his
children. He took great pride in taking care of his beautiful yard,
being a taxi service for his grandchildren, and loved taking long
walks with his beloved dog, Trigger.
