It is with profound sadness that the family of James Raymond Whiteway (Poppy) announce his peaceful passing at the Palliative Care Unit in Corner Brook on March 21, 2023, at the age of 94.
He leaves to mourn with fond and loving memories his two daughters Bernice (Brian) King, Gloria (David) LaSaga and his son John Whiteway; sister Bernice Kesling, of Alabama, and brother John (Helen) Cashin; 11 grandchildren, 14 great-grandchildren and 1 great-great grandson; as well as a large circle of nieces, nephews, other relatives, and many friends to whom he loved dearly.
James is predeceased by his wife Muriel Whiteway (Prosper); his sons, Charles and James Junior, daughter Ellie; parents William and Gertrude Whiteway; mother and father in-law Richard and Bertha Prosper; sisters, Ellie (Marty) Cashin, Jean (James) Hancock, Eileen (Meade) Cottingham and Rose (Boyd) Crewe; brothers Lloyd and William Jack Whiteway; brother in-law Bill Prosper, Murdock (Jean) Prosper, Eric Prosper, Hector (Eva) Prosper and grandson Jonathan Whiteway and his great-grandson Christopher Bishop.
Poppy took every opportunity to sing the Cowboy song and yodel to whomever was blessed to be in his presence. He had a zest for life and just wanted everyone to be happy and do a random act of kindness when they could. It brought him no greater joy to see happiness in the ones he loved.
A special thank you to Dr. Wadhwa and all the nurses and doctors at the Palliative Care Unit for the loving care and compassion they gave our father.
There will be a visitation held on Thursday, March 23, 2023, at Country Haven Funeral Home from the hours of 2-4 PM and 7-9 PM, from there the funeral service will take place on Friday, March 24th, 2023 at 2 PM at All Saints Church with Rev.
