Obituary of Murray Joseph Kelloway, Glace Bay, Dartmouth
It is with great sadness, that we announce the passing of Murray Joseph Kelloway, age 79 on Tuesday, April 19th, 2022, at his residence in Dartmouth.
Born in Glace Bay, he was the son of the late Joseph & Marion (Payne) Kelloway.
Murray operated the Pitt Street Dairy in Glace Bay with his wife Joan from 1971 to 1996. He moved to Halifax where he managed a condominium until his retirement in 2007.
In his earlier years, Murray played little league baseball and attended Holy Cross School and St Michael’s High School. He also enjoyed playing baseball, darts and broomball in Caledonia as well as coaching his son’s bantam hockey team. Murray was an avid sports fan; his favorite team was the Toronto Maple Leaf’s and he attended their last Stanley Cup Parade.
His greatest joy was his family, he loved to make us laugh, he would spend hours playing “air guitar” with his grandchildren and would surround himself with pictures to always keep us close by.
He is survived by his wife, Joan (Ardrey) Kelloway of 57 years, his son, Duane (Kelley), two daughters, Leslie (Darryl) McIntyre and Andrea (John) Dalzell, grandchildren, Alisha (Derek), Kim (Adam), Danielle (Jonathan), Kylie and Konnor Kelloway, Emily (Tyler), Ben and Ian McIntyre, Norah and Thomas Dalzell, great-grandchildren, Cassie, Carter, Paige, Kinsley and Kendall.
Also surviving are his three sisters, Thelma MacDonald, Diane MacMillan and Marion (Nolie) Madore, brothers in-law, Paul Ardrey and Bernie MacLellan, sister in-law, Dora Alice Kelloway, special cousin, Charlie Kelloway, close friends, Jeri and Gary MacDonald and many nieces and nephews.
Besides his parents, he was predeceased by brothers, Jack, Sonny, Walter, Jerry and sisters, Olga, Jean, Theresa, Ella, Betty, Collette and in-laws, Jake and Jean Ardrey.
Cremation has taken place. Visitation will be held on Tuesday evening, April 26th, 2022 from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. in V.J. McGillivray Funeral Home & Cremation Centre, 16 Reserve Street, Glace Bay.
