Richard “Dick” Webster Haliburton
1932-2022
Haliburton, Richard “Dick” Webster –
Avonport, passed away peacefully on Wednesday, September 14, 2022 at
Valley Regional Hospital in Kentville. Born May 1, 1932, he was the
son of the late Edward and Jean (Tattrie) Haliburton.
Dick lived almost his entire life on the family farm. He left
after graduating from Wolfville High School to attend Nova Scotia
Agricultural College and McGill University’s Macdonald
College. He then actively ran the farm until a few years ago, though
he continued to have a say in its operations and remained a respected
member of the farming community. Despite living in the same home from
his birth, he was well-educated and had travelled extensively. Dick
had a broad range of interests and a wide circle of friends. Until his
final day, he continued to expand his knowledge of local and world
issues and events, relying on calls and visits from family, friends,
and various news media to keep up to date. His presence in our lives
will be sadly missed.
Dick is survived by his sons Matthew (Lisa), Sandy Point, and
Noel (Lucy), Avonport; his grandchildren Claire, Toronto, Liam,
Ottawa, and Joshua, Avonport; his brothers Gordon (Edith), Wolfville,
and Charles (Margaret), Digby; his sister-in-law Mable, Wolfville; as
well as numerous nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his wife,
Lesley (Balcom), his partner Lyn Hayes, his brothers Jock and Tom, and
his only daughter Barbara. He was also predeceased by his
brother-in-law and sister-in-law, Bruce and Shelagh Addison, and his
sister-in-law Patricia Haliburton.
Respecting Dick’s final wishes, his remains have
been donated to Dalhousie University’s Faculty of Medicine
and there will be no funeral service. A private interment will take
place at a later date. Memorial donations may be made to a charity of
your choice. Arrangements have been entrusted to White Family Funeral
Home in Kentville, where you may leave messages of condolence at
