Timothy Gene Hennigar
1945-2021
Timothy Gene Hennigar (May 14, 1945 – July 22,
2021) – Born in Berwick, the third son of the late Dean and Jean
Hennigar, Tim grew up in Sheffield Mills. He married his high school
sweetheart and best friend, Irene Eaton of Centreville in 1965. They
raised three sons, Andrew (Kerry) of Sweets Corner; Peter (Tracy,
deceased) of Hantsport and Colin of Halifax. Tim leaves behind seven
grandchildren: Ashley, Abigail, Krista, Felicia, Chelsea, Aidan, Keira
and great-granddaughter, Alice. Tim and Irene raised their family
while living in Halifax, Waterville and Upper
Granville.
Tim attended the Provincial Institute of Automotive and
Allied Trades in Toronto which began his multi-faceted career in
agricultural equipment especially of the green and yellow variety. As
an Annapolis County apple grower and varied entrepreneur, Tim also
served on the executive and boards of several community and
agricultural associations as an active participant. He was especially
supportive of the Living Word Fellowship Church and the Annapolis
County Exhibition and Farm Museum.
Whether it was clearing snow for a neighbour, blazing a trail
for fellow ATV- ers, giving rides on his antique tractors and car or
singing in the church choir, Tim found joy in helping and encouraging
others. His quick wit and warm sense of humour was expressed in a kind
and caring manner. He loved to tease his grandchildren at their
frequent family gatherings and got very competitive during card game
nights.
Tim passed away at home after a courageous battle with
cancer. His faith in the Lord Jesus sustained and comforted him
through his most recent illness, and for many years prior when he had
to deal with several other cancers.
Family and friends
mourn the loss of a wonderful husband, brother, father and loyal
friend. Tim is survived by his brothers, David (Carolyn), Laurie
(Joan), Richard (Debbie) and sister, Susan (Joe Ueffing); brother
in-law, Alan Eaton (Sharon) and sister in-law, Elaine Eaton (Dennis
Stosky). He was predeceased by brother-in–law, Eric
Eaton.
