WOODMAN, Earl LeRoy ~ It is with great sadness that the family announces his peaceful passing on Sunday, August 30, 2020, at the age of 91 years, in Valley Regional Hospital, Kentville, with family by his side. Born in Falmouth, he was a son of the late Walter and Cora (Fletcher) Woodman. He attended Windsor Academy and graduated from the Windsor School of Business in 1951. That same year he married Adria Brown and moved to Walton, Hants Co. where he was Office Clerk with Canadian Industrial Minerals for five years.
