CARROLL, Keith Eugene
Keith Eugene
Carroll passed away peacefully at the Colchester Regional Hospital,
Truro, Nova Scotia on Thursday October 26, 2017 surrounded by his
family.
Keith was born on a dairy farm in the small town of
Dutton, Ontario on March 16, 1933. He was the son of the late Thomas
(Harry) and Jean Carroll. He was predeceased by his loving wife of 60
years, Barbara (Power). Keith was the youngest of four boys and was
predeceased by his brothers, Dolph, James and Ross.
Keith
is survived by his four sons, Mark (Deb)Truro, N.S.,
David(Marianne)Winnipeg, Manitoba, Glen (Cora) Winnipeg, Manitoba and
Stephen(Nancy) Toronto, Ontario as well as 12 grandchildren and three
great-grandchildren. As a young man he started his career in radio,
based in London, Ontario. Subsequently, Keith proudly served in the
Royal Canadian Armed Forces for 25 years. He would often reminisce
about being stationed for 6 months in Alert, the northern most
settlement in the world. As a result of his career in the Armed
Forces, he and Barb were posted in Metz France, Val’Dor,
Quebec, Kingston, Ontario and Truro, Nova Scotia. After retiring from
the RCAF he accepted a position at the CBC as an Electronic Technician
in Sydney, Nova Scotia. This position brought them full circle back to
Barb’s birthplace. With each passing year he became a proud
Cape Bretoner, although he never forgot his Ontario roots. Keith
enjoyed playing the harmonica, gardening, music and reading. He
enjoyed nothing more than spending time with family and friends. Keith
and Barbara were active Life Members of the Whitney Pier Legion. He
was a proud husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather. He was
dearly loved and will be missed.
A
celebration of his life will take place at 2 .p.m on Sunday in the SW
Chant & Son Funeral Home, 564 Alexandra Street, Sydney with
Rev Sheldon Chant officiating.
In
lieu of flowers donations can be made to Canadian Cancer Society or a
charity of your choice.
