Collin John Lewis
1937-2019
It is with deep sadness to announce the sudden passing of
Collin John Lewis of Riverview, on April 14th at the Saint John
Regional Hospital. Collin was born in Canterbury, NB on March 5,
1937.
He can only be described as a good man He was
everyone’s go to guy for anything and everything.
Collin
retired from the CN in 1993 with 36 years’ service and often
spoke fondly of his career as an electrician at the “Shops”
and his many friends from work.
In past years he enjoyed traveling with his loving wife
Annabel, often accompanied with his brother Joe and his wife Donna. He
also enjoyed “hunting” trips with family, usually not even
bothering to load a gun.
Nothing was more important to him
than family, always making sure he could assist in any manner
possible. He loved his garden, likely the biggest and most well tended
in Riverview. Collin was an avid runner well into his 50’s and later
took up cycling which he enjoyed right to his last day.
Collin is survived by his greatest love, Annabel, his wife of
59 years. Also left to mourn are his sons John (Debbi), Joseph, James
and Jason. Grandchildren, Melissa, Matt, Nancy, Rachel, Kaitlin,
Michael, Melanie, Darcie, Myles, Samuel, Fern and Sunny and by four
