Preston Parker England
1933-2020
ENGLAND, Preston Parker –
Age 87, Steep Creek, Guysborough Co. With broken hearts
and many tears, we the sister’s and brother’s want
to announce the passing of our brother and uncle, Preston. Preston
passed away on Wednesday, December 23, 2020, in the Port Hawkesbury
Nursing Home, his home away from home this last couple of
years.
Preston was born at home in Steep Creek on May 8, 1933, the
fourth of twelve children to our loving mom and dad. Preston started
working at an early age. He and his brother operated a lobster smack,
buying lobster from Pirate Harbour to St. Francis Harbour for the late
Everett Kennedy. He worked with his brother driving a pulp truck,
hauling wood to the yard at Morrison’s Lake for the late Tom
Chisholm. He was then at Acadia Fisheries in Mulgrave in the freezer
department, until the plant was destroyed by fire. From then on, he
did painting and carpentry work. Preston was never idle and always
found something to do.
Preston is survived by sisters, Geraldine and Lorna;
brothers, Edward and Ralph; as well as many nieces and nephews. He was
predeceased by his parents, Howard and Jessie (Cummings) England;
brothers, Howard, Earl, Albert “Teddy”, Sandy; sisters, Rena
and Calestine “Toots”; niece, Marlene; nephews, Carson and
Stephen.
Preston’s request was no memorial donations please.
He said if you want to remember me, do it with a kind deed or word to
someone who needs it. Cremation has taken place and burial of
Preston’s ashes will take place at a later
date.
A bright light in our lives has been extinguished, but the
amount of love, positivity and strength he radiated will remain
prominent in every soul who had the pleasure of knowing
him.
Arrangements are under the care and direction of Dennis
Haverstock Funeral Home, Port Hawkesbury. Words of comfort may be
forwarded to the family at www.haverstocks.com
“Rest
in peace Preston. Until we are all together
again!”
