Jack Francis Fielding
1928-2019
Jack Francis
Fielding – 91, Truro.
It is with great sadness the family of Jack Francis Fielding announce
his passing on Monday, November 11, 2019, at Cedarstone Enhanced Care,
Truro. Born in Truro, he was the son of the late Eugene and Ethel
(Crowe) Fielding.
Jack loved his family and loved making people laugh; he was
the family jokester. He was a Korean War veteran who served from
1952-1956 with North Nova Scotia Highlanders. He was proud of his
service time in the military and of being a member of Royal Canadian
Legion for over 30 years, where he also served on the Executive
Committee for six years. He wore his legion hat and coat for almost
every outing and occasion. He always attended Remembrance Day services
even when his health prevented him from participating.
He enjoyed baking (The best English biscuits!), cooking,
hunting and the travelling he did as a transport driver. He loved his
Thursday outings for Fielding day when all his brothers and sisters
would get together at the Truro mall for coffee. He had an especially
close relationship with his sister, Sheila, and you could see their
deep love for each other whenever they were together.
Mourning his passing are his sons, John, Thailand; Gerry,
Edmonton, Alberta; Roger (Shamira), Florida; Todd (Patti), Westlock,
Alberta; grandchildren, Kevin, Stacey, Carlyn, Luke, Sannya, Shane,
Misty, Monike, Sean, Michael, David, Matthew, Dallas, Jocelynn, Mark,
Padraig; several great grandchildren; sister, Julie Blackmore; special
niece, Tammy Longard (Ryan); several other nieces and nephews;
in-laws, Kelly Callaghan, Jim Waller, Louise Fielding, Jim and Blanche
Cook, Basil Oickle. Along with his parents, he was predeceased by his
daughter, Frances Brodziak; grandson, Ricky Kellogg; brothers,
Sherman, Fred, Russell, Gerald in infancy; sisters, Reta Rice, Barbara
Atkinson, Hazel Delaney, Marilyn Waller, Sheila
Callaghan.
