Hugh Francis ‘D.D.’ Hanley
1943-2020
Hanley, Hugh
Francis «D.D.» – Judique, Inverness
Co. With heavy hearts we announce the peaceful passing of DD
Hanley in the Inverness Consolidated Memorial Hospital on Sunday,
October 18th, 2020.
DD was born in Brooklyn, NY, May 25th, 1943.
He was a son of the late Bernard J. and Betty
(MacDonnell) Hanley. He is survived by brothers, Jimmy
(Annie), Bernie (Loretta), Jackie (Jessie); sister, Janice (John)
MacEachern. DD was a proud and interested uncle to his 13 nieces and
nephews. They, in turn, loved and respected him and each one had their
own special bond with Uncle DD. Those that lived close by
made sure his water was flowing, lawn was mowed and dinners were in
the fridge. Besides his parents DD was predeceased by his
step-father, Angus MacDonald and forever loved nephew, Brent
Hanley.
DD was a 50 year member of the
Bricklayer’s Union. In the day, he enjoyed horses, golf,
bowling, slot machines and card games with his friends, especially
weekly games with Al.
The family would like to thank and
acknowledge the special care and compassion he received from the
nurses and doctors in the dialysis unit as well, the wonderful nurses
and doctors in palliative care and Dr. Collins. Thank you to Fr. Dan
MacDonald for his visit. Thanks to the staff and drivers at
Strait Area Transit, they too were a God
send.
There will be no visitation. A
private funeral mass will be held for family in St. Andrew’s Roman
Catholic Church, Judique on Friday, October 23 at 11 a.m. with Father
Eugene Morris officiating. A public burial will follow in the Parish
Cemetery. Memorial donations may be to the Kidney Foundation
of Canada, St. Andrew’s Parish Cemetery, Judique or a charity of
choice.
In keeping with Covid
-19 guidelines. Social distancing protocols are to be followed and
masks are mandatory.
Funeral arrangements are under the
care and direction of Dennis Haverstock Funeral Home, Port Hawkesbury.
