Whitney Pier
Following a very sudden encounter with ill health, it is with broken hearts and profound sadness, that our lives are forever changed. We the family, regret to announce the sudden passing of our dear father, grandfather, great-grandfather, affectionately known to all as ‘PAPA ELMER’ on Monday, July 11, 2022, at the Cape Breton Hospice, Sydney.
Born on February 9, 1943, in Quinan, NS, Elmer was the son of the late Theophile Muise and Margaret (Frotten) Muise.
Papa Elmer was a man of great integrity, a true ‘Gentle-Man’. He was not a man of many words, but his actions spoke volumes. His kind heart and eagerness to give without limits, touched all who were graced to know him. His endless love for his family and friends was limitless. He was the most beautiful, selfless human around. Elmer was a man of “Quiet Faith” who attended Mass regularly and taught his family the importance of expressing gratitude for the countless blessings God graced our family with and right up to the very end he expressed his undying gratitude. He worked for Masons Wholesale for 25 years (without a sick day) and helped all those he could through his self-taught carpentry skills for many, many years. Apart from the love he had for his family, Elmer loved his horse racing, fishing and hunting and all the people he enjoyed these hobbies with. He also enjoyed shopping the weekly deals at various grocery stores for family and friends. Elmer loved his regular “tea times “with his many friends at “Anne’s Do Drop In”. For all this and so much more, he will be dearly missed and forever and always loved and will remain in our Hearts… Until We Meet Again!
Elmer is survived by his loving children, Peter Muise, Yarmouth, Rhonda (Adrian) Langlois, Sydney, Lesa (Tony) Conrad, Lower Sackville and Donnie Floyd (son by heart); grandchildren, Jeremy, Laurie, Corey, Evan, Brandon and Kaitlyn; great-grandchildren, Kiersten, Brody, Mason, Sean, Sawyer, Penelope, Bentley and Macie; siblings, Madeline, Marjorie and Joanne, as well as many brothers-in-law, sisters-in-law, nieces and nephews.
Besides his parents, Elmer was predeceased by his loving wife, Beverly and his siblings, Mable, Florence, Stan, Walter, Irene and George.
Memorial Mass will be celebrated at Holy Redeemer Church on Saturday, July 16, 2022, at 10 a.m. with Fr. Paul Murphy officiating. Live Stream will be available via Holy Redeemer Parish Facebook page.
