worked as a cook at Camp Aldershot, was an amateur wrestler, an avid
carpenter and a member of the Nova Scotia United Brotherhood of
Carpenters, Local 83. Junior worked on many projects throughout the
Valley, HRM and Nova Scotia, and was proud of his profession. He spent
many years living in Inverness, Cape Breton, where he met and married
his wife, Dorothy. They owned and operated a small business in
Inverness but later decided to move to the Annapolis Valley to raise
their family and build a home. Junior loved to be outside and to work
with his hands and was often known to show his most recent projects to
those he loved and cared about. One of his most prized creations was
the home he built for his beloved wife and family. In the off months,
when not working on carpentry projects, Junior spent the time peddling
fruits and vegetables. He loved his family more than anything and
enjoyed the times when everyone could get home. He could often be seen
out walking the yard, or sitting on the porch with Rusty, who was
always by his side. Junior was known to make daily calls to
« check-in » or just to chat. He had a great sense of
humor and was often telling stories. He will be greatly missed by his
family and friends. His wife and family want to send their sincere
thanks to his family doctor of 47 years, Dr. Robert Gunn, to EHS
Services, the paramedics, ER nurses and staff and Dr. Bruce McLeod for
their efforts, kindness, and support. A private service will be held.
Family flowers only. Donations can be made in Junior’s memory to the
Salvation Army. Funeral arrangements and cremation have been entrusted
to White Family Funeral Home and Cremation Services, Kentville.
