Reginald Leslie Hoar
1936-2019
Reginald Leslie Hoar, 83, of Waterside, NB, passed away on
November 30th, 2019 at the Dr. George L. Dumont
Hospital.
Reg was born in Hebron, NB, on August 30th, 1936, the son of
the late William and Arletta (Walton) Hoar.
Reg was a well respected and loyal school bus driver for 29
years. He was always cautious for the safety of the students. Reg was
also a truck driver for most of his life. He owned and operated his
own trucks, hauling gravel to the concrete plants in Moncton, and also
to many people in the Albert County area. He was always very proud of
his perfect driving record throughout his career.
He enjoyed being outdoors in the garden, watching birds, and
touring around Waterside on his four wheeler. Reg was happiest when
working at the woodpile splitting wood. He liked working in his
garage, and the visitors that stopped in to socialize. Reg was a
Montreal Canadiens fan and loved to watch them play; however, he was
an even bigger fan at the Hillsborough Arena, cheering on his
grandchildren. He also enjoyed going to the family picnics where he
would be the first to arrive and last to leave. He never missed an
opportunity to tease or tell a funny story. Reg loved to
talk.
The most important thing to him was his family. He was a
dedicated husband, father, grandfather, and great grandfather.
Together, Reg and Dorothy raised three boys and it is evident that Reg
has made an impact on their lives. He was involved in everything they
did and supported them always. He did the same for his grandchildren
and great grandchildren, they were his pride and joy. He was very
proud of his family’s accomplishments. He was grateful for the times
spent together and memories made.
He will be deeply missed by his wife of 59 years, Dorothy
(Rossiter) Hoar; his three sons: Roger (Sandy) of St. Andrews, Edward
(Brenda) of Waterside, Darren (Alice) of Waterside; his cherished
grandchildren: William, Dorothy (Randy), Joanna (Donald), Laura-Lee
(Yves), Melissa, Nathan (Amanda), Jennifer (Merle), and Jeff; his
great grandchildren: Nora, Sadie, Henry, Vivianne, William
“Liam”, Edward ” Teddy”, Kinnear, Hartford,
Rosemary, Nadele, and Julie; his sister Marilyn Wortman; his two
brothers: Sterling (Velma), and George (Vivian); and sisters-in-law
Mabel, and Mary. He will also be missed by several nieces and nephews
and by his extended family.
Besides his parents he was predeceased by his infant
granddaughter, Angela; sisters: Verna (Everett), Della (Glen), Jean
(Joe); brothers: Gerald, Frank (Ann), Donnie, Everett; and
