Parcourez la nécrologie de Stephen Thomas Tom Connors 1955 2023 résidant dans la province Nova Scotia pour le détail des funérailles
Connors,
Stephen Thomas «Tom», age 68, of Cloverville, Antigonish
County, passed away suddenly on November 1, 2023, in Moncton, New
Brunswick.
Born in
Antigonish, he was a son of the late Thomas Lawrence and Mary Margaret
(DeWolfe) Connors.
Tom spent
much of his life working in the forestry industry as a dedicated
employee for John W. McCarron, Scott & Stewart, and finally
RES Sustainable Forestry. He was passionate about his career and loved
working outdoors until his retirement in 2021. After his retirement,
he got to live out one of his dreams of a cross-country road trip in
his truck with his wife and favourite co-pilot, Barb, to visit family
in Alberta. There was rarely a Sunday that went by that Tom (and Barb)
weren’t found taking the scenic route around Nova Scotia and
beyond.
Tom was a
proud member of the Royal Canadian Legion Arras Branch #59 since 1991,
holding many titles including president, past-president, and most
recently, zone commander. He looked forward to volunteering annually
with the poppy campaign leading up to Remembrance Day and the Colour
Party for various parades. One of his favourite past-times was
challenging somebody to a game of crib (which he hated to lose) and he
was honored to represent Nova Scotia at the Nationals in BC.
Tom was also
a proud husband, father, and grandfather and was lovingly referred to
as «Grampie Tom». He will be sadly missed by his
cherished friends, with whom he could regularly be seen enjoying a
coffee (a predictable large with three cream and one sugar) at his
beloved Tim Horton’s.
Tom is
survived by his wife and best friend of 50 years, Barbara (nee
Greencorn); children, Barbara Ann (Billy) O’Brien, Moncton,
NB; John (Nancy), Antigonish, NS; and Wendy (Mike), Brooklyn, NS;
grandchildren, Courtney (Mark), Tyler (Julie), Cole, Andie, and
Brooke; great-grandson, Jayce; siblings, Karen DeWolfe, Margaret
Benoit, and John Leo Benoit; sister-in-law, Wendy Benoit; and many
loving nieces and nephews.
Besides his
parents, he is predeceased by his brother, Georgie Benoit, and many
aunts and uncles.
Cremation has
taken place. Visitation will be held Tuesday from 2 to 4 and
7 to 9pm in C.L. Curry Funeral Home, 135 College Street,
Antigonish. Funeral Mass will be held Wednesday in St.
Ninian Cathedral at 11:00am with Reverend Elliott O’Neal
presiding. Burial in the parish
cemetery.
In Memoriam,
donations to Royal Canadian Legion Poppy Fund or Heart and Stroke
Foundation of Nova Scotia are appreciated.
