Walsh, Harry Arthur Baden
“Hab”
Grand Mira North
The family of Harry
Arthur Baden “Hab” Walsh sadly announce his passing
on Thursday March 7, 2019 at the Halifax Infirmary, VG
Site.3
Born March 30, 1942
in Jeffereys, NL, he was the only child of the late Arthur and Effie
(Shears) Walsh.
He grew up in
Sydney. In June 1962 he joined the military where he proudly served
with 2PPCLI, then transferred to the Reserves serving with 1RNBR, NB
and 2NSH Cape Breton. Upon retirement he helped start a cadet program
in 1999 which he stayed with until September 2005.
HAB loved living in
Grand Mira North where life was a nice slow pace. A man of very few
words and easily embarrassed he was usually the target of jokes at
family events. After HAB moved to Grand Mira he joined the Marion
Bridge Volunteer Fire Department. He so enjoyed this part of his life
and spent many hours keeping the financial records up to
date.
He is survived by
his wife Joan (MacLellan), children Andrea, Halifax; Heather (Jim)
Burke, Calgary; Jennifer (Carl) Pike, Cole Harbor; Martin (Paula),
Winnipeg; Lisa, Hamilton; grandchildren Mary (Dan) Mills, Calgary;
Sarah (Chael) Burke, Calgary; Jake Burke, Calgary; Jack Pike, Cole
Harbour; Karen Thorne, Winnipeg; great grandson Fisher Burke-Gust,
Calgary.
Hab will be forever
missed by his little companion Belle who was never too far from his
side.
Visitation will take
place Tuesday March 12, 2019 from 7-9 pm in Sydney Memorial Chapel.
Funeral service will be held Wednesday in the Chapel at 11 am, with
Mr. Gary Grant officiating. Interment at a later date.
Memorials may be
made to the Marion Bridge Volunteer Fire Department.
A Special Thank you
to the medical staff at the Victoria General ICU Step Down Unit and
