John Oland Siddall
John Oland Siddall passed away
peacefully at home surrounded by his loving family on July 23, 2020.
Born in Amherst, NS on May 23, 1933 he was the son of the late J.
Hedley and Norma Siddall.
John’s greatest joy in
life was his family. He is survived by his wife, Donna of 66 years and
predeceased by his son John Allen. Blessed with three loving
daughters, Norma, Leanne and Sharon (Ivan) and granddaughters Heather
(Jason) and Jennifer (Jeff). He spent countless summers by the pool
with his girls. Diving in and making a huge splash – that was always
their favourite. He loved barbecuing the perfect steak and was always
cracking a joke. They were his world and he was
theirs.
He was a man who enjoyed the
simpler things in life. When visiting with his daughter Norma, you
could always find him with a cup of tea and playing cards. He loved
spending time at Sharon and Ivan’s home in McKees Mills,
going fishing as he loved to be out on the water. You could often find
him puttering around next door at Leanne’s home, playing
with the dog or fixing something that most likely didn’t
even need to be fixed. He enjoyed the company of his family and
friends with a big bowl of ice cream on his
lap.
Christmas gifts were always easy
for John. A golf cart renewal made our Christmas shopping a breeze. He
loved to golf and was a natural pro. As soon as the course opened in
the spring you could be sure he and Donna were the first ones there.
We are so thankful he was able to get a few last rounds in this
spring.
When not golfing, you could find
him chuckling for hours sitting in his chair watching Judge Judy or
playing bridge. He will be missed by so many close long time friends
and family.
Most recently he became a
great-grandfather. The joy and light that Roman and Ainslie brought to
him was undeniable. He adored the little
ones.
Due to COVID restrictions, a
private family graveside service will be held in New Glasgow, Nova
Scotia. Grateful thanks to palliative care, extramural and Dr Park for
the excellent care and compassion extended to our
family.
Arrangements under the
professional care and guidance of Fergusons Funeral Home, 1657
