It is with heavy hearts that we announce
the passing of Clayton Harry Martin, 73,
of Amherst. Clayton passed away on Wednesday, August 10th, 2022 at the
Cumberland Regional Health Care Centre, 2 short months after his wife
Odette.
Born in Springhill, NS, Clayton was the
son of the late Fred and Minnie (Gaudet) Martin, as well as a very
special adoptive mother Anita (Gaudet) Bulmer.
Clayton, formerly known as
« Norton » enjoyed spending time with « the boys »
getting into many « questionable » situations. They enjoyed
fishing, driving around, camping, sports and following the band. When
Clayton was with the guys you were never without a bottle opener! Time
spent with him was always a laugh therapy session! He claimed he was
fluent in Russian and Chinese although this was never officially
proven!
The time that he didn’t spend
working at Premdoor and Jeld-Wen over many years, he had many projects
on the go. He also enjoyed spending time cooking/baking, gardening,
constructing anything and everything and listening to music even if it
was for only part of the song.
More than anything he loved spending
time with his beloved wife, children, grandchildren, family, friends
and his one and only Jersey cat.
Clayton will be dearly missed by his
daughters Stephanie Herrett-Martin, Amherst and Natasha (Matthew)
Richard, Amherst; grandchildren Ethan & Alexander Herrett and
Nadya (Jason Morse) Richard, Mackenzie (Paige Everill) Richard
& Rory Richard; great grandchildren Natalya and Gabriella;
siblings Ken Cormier, Shediac, NB, Frank (Dianne), Ajax, ON, Carol
Uhlman, Amherst, Barb Reid, Saint John, NB, Nini (Brian) MacDonald,
Amherst, and Gloria Martin, Parrsboro, NS; sister in laws, Jean
Martin, Ottawa, ON, Patsy Martin, Amherst, NS.
He was predeceased by his loving wife
Odette; brothers Camille and Fred.
