In the midst of our deep grief and loss, the family of Lawrence Robert Corkum, 81, of Lunenburg, announce his passing on Saturday, August 31, 2024, at Fisherman’s Memorial Hospital, Lunenburg.
Born in Bridgewater, he was a son of the late Leaman and Hazel (Mason) Corkum.
Lawrence had a full and varied life. He was a plumber, part time waiter, honorary member of the Lunenburg and District Fire Department, police officer and a fisherman. He was also a proud member of the Reserve Army. After his fishing career ended, he enjoyed woodworking (including 2 large Bluenose models), hunting and camping.
Lawrence’s family was very dear to him and he loved spending time with each one. These special memories will always be a source of comfort and healing to family as they share stories of life together. In the past year of his life, he was happiest sitting outside “getting his fresh air” while sitting on his rocking chair and enjoying the beauty of nature around him (sometimes counting birds, other times counting cars as they passed by).
Lawrence is survived by his wife of 60 years, Betty Ann; daughter, Diane Heisler (Keith), Lunenburg; son, Robert (Sharon), Stonehurst; two grandchildren, Jeremy (Kayla) Corkum, Blaine Heisler; great grandson, Lucas Corkum; brothers-in-law, Stephen (Hilda) Russell and James (Heather) Russell; several nieces, nephews and grand nephews.
Besides his parents, Lawrence is predeceased by his sister, Judy; brother, Alfred; two infant siblings; brother-in-law, John Brake and great niece, Michaela Whynot.
Funeral arrangements are under the direction of the Dana L Sweeny Funeral Home, 11213, Hwy 3, Lunenburg. A memorial service for Lawrence will be held on Friday, September 6 at 11:00 am from St. Barnabas Anglican Church, Blue Rocks. Interment in Upper Blue Rocks Cemetery, Upper Blue Rocks.
In lieu of flowers, family would appreciate memorial donations being made to the VON, Lunenburg and District Fire Department, St. Barnabas Anglican Church or a charity of your choice.
