Norman “Pat” D. Honeyman
1925-2018
The death of Norman “Pat” Honeyman of Quispamsis,
husband of the late Isabel “Belle” (Brewster) Honeyman,
occurred on Wednesday, September 12, 2018 at the Saint John Regional
Hospital.
Born in Fairfax, MB on March 17, 1925, he was a son of the
late Percy and Pearl (Spratt) Honeyman. Pat was a veteran of the
Second World War, serving in Belgium, the Netherlands and Germany.
Following the war, Pat joined the army militia. He served in a
regiment of the Royal Canadian Engineers for over 20 years,
becoming Major Honeyman, Officer Commanding of the 46th
Field Squadron. As always there is so much more to a man than his
career, and Pat pursued a large number of community interests. Never a
self promoter, he nonetheless was quietly proud of his military
service, his work with literacy, his 30 year stint as an NB Museum
volunteer, his initiatives with St John Ambulance, and of course his
family.
Pat was employed as a Beater Engineer in the paper making
industry, first in Pine Falls, Manitoba before moving east in 1964 to
help start up then Rothesay Paper Corp. He remained at this facility
(now Irving Paper) until 1986. Pat spent a number of years as a paper
mill consultant in Saint John and Alberta, finally backing away from
the industry in 1996. Throughout and after his working career, he was
involved with the Rothesay Collegiate School Cadet Corps, KVHS
Bursary, Quispamsis Food Basket, Quispamsis Ambulance, St. John
Ambulance, Literacy New Brunswick, and MENSA Canada. In his few spare
hours he enjoyed car rallying with the NB Sporting Car Club, and
following the CFL, always with his eye on his Edmonton
Eskimos.
Pat is survived by his children, Barry (Nora Fontaine) of
Gardner Creek, NB, Grant (Stephen Yarrow) of Orwell Bay, PEI, Murray
of Hamilton, ON, Kelly (Denise) of Upham, NB, and Colleen Honeyman
Flewwelling of Rothesay, grandchildren; Shane, Jacqui, Heather,
Chelsea, Simon, Kyle, Madeline, and Bridget, great grandchildren;
Brandon, Brooke, Jovianna, Addyson, and Dahnilyn, great great grandson
Kendrick, sister Isabel Smith of Dauphin, MB, as well as several
nieces and nephews.
Besides his wife, he was predeceased by his sisters; Georgina
Temple, Marion Buick, and Audrey Silvius.
