Petrus Harry Neynens
1927-2021. The death of Harry Neynens occurred in Inverary Manor on
May 12, 2021 at the age of 94. Born in Tungelroy, Netherlands,
February 21, 1927, Harry grew up in a family with eight
siblings.
He served in
the Dutch Army from 1948-1950 as a medic in Indonesia. He returned
from Indonesia to marry his wife Emelie. They immigrated to Canada in
1952 through Pier 21. They settled in Lake Ainslie where they raised
their 10 children. Harry worked at the Pulp Mill in Port Hawkesbury
for many years as a Millwright. Harry had a passion and zest for life
that was unmatched. He was determined, hard-working and always willing
to help. Whether it was farming, gardening, wood working or playing
cards he always had a project on the go. He was a member of the
Inverness Legion and he was very involved in his local church and
community.
Harry was
predeceased by his wife, Emelie and son, Johnny. He is survived by his
daughters, Maria (Peter) McKenna, Catherine (Peter) Nissen, Emilie
(David) MacDonnell, Harriet (Geza Szenes) Neynens, Barbara (Ken)
Bryden; sons, Martin, Jimmy (Sandra McMaster), Harry (Colleen Rankin)
and George. There was a special place in his heart for his 20
grandchildren and 17 great- grandchildren.
Thank you to
Father Bernie, close friends and neighbours who were such a wonderful
support to Harry and Emelie. Thank you also to Dr. Susie and the staff
of Inverary Manor; you made Harry feel very much at home and took
exceptional care of him.
Visitation will begin 11:30 a.m.
Friday, August 6, in Immaculate Conception Roman Catholic Church, West
Lake Ainslie. Funeral mass will follow at 2 p.m. with Rev. Bernie
MacDonald and Rev. Danny MacLennan officiating. Burial to follow in
the parish cemetery.
Funeral
arrangements are under the care and direction of Dennis Haverstock
