Lawrence Arnold Bavis
1927-2020
With heartfelt sadness we announce the passing of Lawrence
(Larry/Laurie) Bavis, of Fredericton, NB, husband of the late Nelma
(Johnston) Bavis on October 11 at Thomas Hall, Shannex. Born
on February 26, 1927, in Napadogan,
NB, he was a son of the late Harry and Mary (Donnelly) Bavis
of Cross Creek, NB.
Larry’s lifetime employment was with the Canadian
National Railway starting at the Napadogan station and retiring from
the CN Express Fredericton. Larry had a quiet nature and he could
surprise you with his quick wit. He entertained many with
his stories of working on the Canadian National Railway, along with
the many hunting and fishing adventures; like the big salmon that got
away. He spent many hours working on his hobby of fly tying for his
own fishing pleasure, and also for sale to fishing tackle shops on the
Miramichi. His love of gospel and country music was evident on many a
visit when you walked in and heard it being played.
He is survived by two sons, Jack Bavis (Carol) of Moncton and
Michael Bavis (Yvette) of Halifax; daughter Cathy Betts (James) of
Fredericton; 4 grandchildren, Amanda, Kelly, Jonathan and Courtney; 4
great-grandchildren, Olivia, Ben, Ryker and Austin; brothers, Murray
Bavis (Kathy), Keith Bavis (June), Reginald Bavis, Gerald Bavis
(Katherine), Kirk Bavis (Judy) and Brian Bavis (Maureen); a sister
Betty Boudreau, as well as several nieces and nephews.
In addition to his wife and parents, Lawrence was predeceased
by a brother Edward Bavis; sisters Muriel Raymond and Annette
Wilson.
Special thanks and appreciation to: Syd and Shirley
Nason; the late Florence Currie; Rainsford Lane neighbours;
PSW Greta O’Donnell (her Pappy), home care workers
Rosa and Abby from Bayshore; Extramural; Thomas Hall,
Shannex.
Due to COVID a private graveside service will be held with
Rev. Joe Beesley officiating.
For those who wish, in lieu of flowers, memorial donations
may be made to Meals on Wheels or a charity of your choice.
