Donald David Job, 89, of Kentville passed away
Friday, July 12, 2019 in the Valley Regional Hospital, Kentville. Born
in Hamilton, Ontario, he was the son of David and Margaret (Burns)
Job. Don went to work with his father at Firth Brothers where he
became a Master Cutter. He then met the love of his life
Frances and they moved to Rochester, NY where Don worked for Hart
Schaffner and Marx as the cutting room floor manager, retiring after
25 years. Enjoying his summer vacations in Nova Scotia, Don,
Frances, and Shelly decided to move there full time. Don took a job
bartending at the Kentville Legion, where he made many lifelong
friends. The Legion has always been a big part of Dons life, holding
positions as President, Poppy, Bar, and Youth Chairman. His greatest
joy was going every November to talk to the children about Remembrance
Day. Don was a loving husband, father, father-in-law, grandfather,
brother, uncle, and friend who will be dearly missed. He is survived
by his beloved daughter, Shelly (Stephen) Meister, Port Williams;
grandson, Seth, Port Williams; granddaughter, Spring, Calgary, AB;
sister, Sheila Anderson, Guelph, Ontario; numerous nieces and nephews.
