Austin Charles Tingley
1949-2017
Austin Charles Tingley, 67, of Edgett’s Landing
passed away on April 19th, 2017 at his home.
Austin was born in Riverside, NB on May
5, 1949 the son of the late Charles and Stella (Cameron)
Tingley.
Austin worked
in the woods when he was young, then he went to work
for T.P. Downey & Sons Ltd. for 35 years until he
retired. He was the type of guy who could fix anything, when
Downey’s big harvester burnt, Austin rebuilt it from the ground up and
got it working like new. He worked in the mill and if
anything needed fixed, Austin was your man. He often went to
kitchen parties and variety shows, you could find Austin with his
guitar and singing whenever he got the chance.
After his retirement woodworking became his passion and made
a lot of different things like octagon picnic tables, wheelbarrows,
and his lighthouse lawn ornaments. He also spent a lot of time in his
garage tinkering with lawnmowers and sharpening chainsaws. He enjoyed
being outdoors and his garden. He had a love of dogs and you could see
him every day walking his dog up and down the road. He took
it hard when his dog “Phibie” passed away but then
“Trixie” came to fill the void. He was a good
neighbor and friend, he will be missed in his community.
Always willing to give a helping hand. Austin
loved his family very much and especially cherished the time he spent
with his grandchildren. He may have had some struggles but
he would want everyone to remember the good times and all the fun they
had over the years. Just think of his big grin ” Fond
Memories Cling.”
He will be deeply missed by his wife, Barbara; sons,
Kevin Tingley (Melissa) of Boundary Creek and Dennis Tingley of
Moncton; treasured grandchildren, Andrew and Samantha; sisters,
Barbara Spence of Moncton, Della Steeves of Hillsborough and Loretta
Weir (Greg) of Lower Coverdale; brothers, Ivan Tingley of
Riverside-Albert and Terry Tingley (Kim) of Riverview. He
will also be missed by several nieces and nephews.
Besides his parents he was predeceased by
