George Alton Stanford Daye
1927-2019
Daye, George Alton Stanford
It is with heavy hearts we announce the passing of George
Alton Stanford Daye at the age 91. George’s death occurred
at the Oromocto Public Hospital on July 4, 2019, after a lengthy
illness and courageous battle. Born on July 19, 1927 in Westville NS.
He was the son of the late Silas and Lillian (Welch) Day and the
loving husband of Mary (MacDonald) Daye.
George was a member of the Canadian Armed Forces (Black
Watch/2RCR) for 25 years. After his retirement from Canadian Armed
Forces, he continued his working career at the old VA hospital in
Fredericton, retiring in 1992.
He loved being outside whether it be just puttering
in the backyard, going fishing, or going for walks. Always enjoyed
watching his favorite baseball team, the Toronto Blue Jays and he
loved his Toy poodle, Soe. The love and adoration George had for his
whole family showed how proud he was of them.
George will deeply be missed by his loving wife, Mary; their
children, George Daye (Danette Pond) of Fredericton, NB, Donna Konkle
(Barry) of Burton, NB and Calvin Daye (Jen) of Orleans, ON;
grandchildren, Sarah, Tristan, Jessica, Athena and Marina; brothers,
Bun Day of Halifax, NS, Merle Day of Westville, NS; sisters, Loreen
Thompson of Westville, NS and Erma Chenell of Westville,
NS.
In addition to his parents, George was predeceased his two
brothers, Rubin Day from Westville, NS and Earl Day from Halifax,
NS.
