William Barry Heighton
1941-2022
It is with great sadness that we
announce the passing of William “Barry” Heighton, on January
11, 2022, at the Dr. Everett Chalmers Hospital. Born on May 18, 1941,
he was the son of the late William Howard and Johanna (Carragan)
Heighton.
Barry served in the Canadian Armed
Forces for 24 years in the Royal Canadian Artillery. He was
a proud service member. He was a Legion member for 48
years.
“Once a Gunner always a
Gunner!” UBLIQUE
Barry had a mistress, she was a 42
foot boat known as the ALOSA. He thought he was the Captain,
but Mom certainly was the best first mate for over 30 years of their
boating history. The Saint John River was Dad’s happy place,
and his love of being on the water kept him young at
heart.
Barry will be greatly missed by
his beloved spouse Louise (Lambert) Heighton; son Leigh Heighton(Bea);
daughters Carol Heighton, Shelley Brown and Jacqueline Tobin;
grandchildren Devon Brown (Carmen King), Wayne Heighton, Emily Noble
(Nathan), Ashleigh Sullivan (Patrick), Bradley Howe (Nadia), Bentley
Howe, Natalie Howe, Michael Tobin and Meghan Tobin; great
grandchildren Owen and Levi Noble; Aunt Virgina Cunningham;
as well as several cousins and extended family.
We would like to express our
thanks for the treasured gift the Ambulance attendants gave us on
Christmas day. Thank you! We would also like to thank the
Doctor’s in the CCU unit for their care and kindness and in doing
everything they could for Dad.
Due to current health
restrictions, a celebration of life will take place at a later date.
For those who wish, donations in Barry’s memory may be made
to the Diabetes Association.
