It is with sadness that we announce the
peaceful passing of Walter Bird Newcombe,
age 87, of Amherst. Walter passed away on Thursday, November
16, 2017 at Gables Lodge where he has happily spent the past 5 1/2
years. He has enjoyed the camaraderie and many
friendships he had among the staff and residents of Gables
Lodge.
Born in Brookdale, NS, he was the son of
the late Almon and Bessie (Bird) Newcombe.
His career spanned working for CPR, then

Caden and Clark Fage as well as many cousins.
Besides his parents, he was predeceased
by nephew Douglas McBrien.
