Austin William Charles Henneberry passed away peacefully at home, surrounded by his family and their love, in Victoria, BC on December 8th, 2021, after a short battle with cancer. Born in the Eastern Passage, Nova Scotia, he was predeceased by his parents William and Vera Henneberry and by his younger brother Kenneth.
He is survived by his wife of 64 years, Eileen (Zwicker) and his four children: Kimberly Henneberry Glover (Charles Glover), Maple Ridge, BC; Robin Henneberry (Michael Hoddinott), Victoria, BC; Austin Henneberry, Victoria, BC; and Glen (Katerina) Henneberry, Barrie, ON.

Austin served in the Armed Forces from 1958-1971. His military career included posts in Gagetown (NB), Kingston (ON), Cyprus, and Nanaimo (BC). Upon leaving the military, Austin worked for Harmac Pulp and Paper Mill, as an Engineer and retired after 25 years of service. Following retirement he assisted his son, Austin, in his business, A & A Home and Lawn Maintenance, for a few years. He then worked for the Commissionaires for 13 years, until illness forced him to step down in August of this year. Austin thoroughly enjoyed his time with the Commissionaires where he made many friends.
Austin was a kind, caring gentleman, who enjoyed spending time with his family and friends. He loved socializing with others, had a great sense of humour and an infectious laugh. He was an avid bridge player and a fierce competitor. He had a great love of the ocean. He will be sorely missed by his family and friends.
A celebration of Austin’s life will be held at a future date.
