Landry, Wilfred Alexander, age 99, of Highland Crest Home,
Antigonish, and formerly of Havre Boucher, passed away on November 3,
2021, in St. Martha’s Regional Hospital,
Antigonish.
Born in Havre Boucher, he was a son of the late Wallace and
Elizabeth (Fougere) Landry.
Wilfred was a hardworking man. He cut kindling
until he was 97 years old. He worked in The States for a
time and worked on the freight boats, but for the most part, he was a
farmer. He was known for his vegetable garden and sold
vegetables door-to-door in the Auld’s Cove/Port Hawkesbury
area for 62 years. A generous man, he loved to have fun (including a
good drink) and animals (especially his horses). Wilfred was also very
dedicated to his church, never missing Mass, and he had an amazing
ability to find the good in everyone he met.
He is survived by his son, Robert « Bob », New
Glasgow; and daughter, Noreen (late Garnet Giesbrecht), Toronto; and
girlfriend, Ann Greenhorn. He was the oldest, and last
surviving, member of his family.
Predeceased by his wife, Kathleen (Pelrine); and siblings,
Thelma Crispo (Eldred); Joseph « Sonny »; William
« Billy », and Jerome (Thelma).
Visitation will be held Friday from 2 to 4 and 7 to 9pm in
St. Paul’s Centre, Havre Boucher. Funeral Mass will be held
on Saturday at 11:00am in St. Paul’s Church, Reverend Allan
MacPhie presiding. Burial in the parish
cemetery.
Proof of vaccination and valid photo ID are required for both
visitation and funeral, and masks are mandatory.
IN Memoriam, donations to St. Paul’s Cemetery
appreciated.
