Kenneth Alexander ‘Ken’ Wood
1933-2017
Wood, Kenneth Alexander – 83 of Port Hawkesbury
formally of Auld’s Cove. Beloved husband, father and
grandfather passed away peacefully on Thursday, April 13, 2017 in the
Port Hawkesbury Nursing home surrounded by his family.
Born in Antigonish, he was a son of the late John and Jessie
(MacAskill) Wood. Ken worked on various drill rigs throughout his
career and retired as a well driller for E.D. Stewart Ltd. after 40
years.
He was a former member of the Auld’s Cove Volunteer
Fire Department and the Auld’s Cove Recreation Association.
Ken enjoyed a good game of crib or 45s, fishing, trapping,
snowmobiling and 4 wheeling. He was an avid Toronto Blue Jays and
Toronto Maple Leafs fan. Ken was well known for brightening the day of
those around him with his feeble attempts at yodeling, little white
lies, jokes, elaborate stories and contagious laughter. His sense of
humor and kind soul will be missed by all who knew him.
He is survived by his wife of 58 years, the former Mary
Catherine LeBlanc; his sons, Barry (Janet) Wood, Sydney and Tony
(Marion) Wood, Auld’s Cove; granddaughters, Leah (Kevin)
Pallard; Dartmouth and Kayla (Drew) Donnelly, Sydney. He is also
survived by sisters, Margie (Leo), Auld’s Cove; Barbara
Thompson, Antigonish; brothers, Joe (Chrissy) Wood, Auld’s
Cove; Danny (Jean) Wood, Cape Jack; Vincent (Annie) Wood, Port
Hawkesbury and Larry (Linda) Wood of Auld’s Cove. He was
predeceased by sisters, Laura Fougere, Mary (Vincent) and Carol in
infancy; brothers, Bernie, Ronnie, Jackie and Allan.
Visitation will be from 2-8 p.m. Monday in Mulgrave and Area
Resting Place, Mulgrave. Funeral mass will be celebrated on Tuesday at
11 a.m. in St. Lawrence Roman Catholic Church, Mulgrave,
with Rev. Alan MacPhee officiating. Family flowers only please.
