PATERSON,
Sharon Lee (nee Henderson) (Wife of Al Paterson, ret'd) November 6, 1948 May
22, 2009 On Friday, May 22, 2009 my wife, Sharon, lost her fight with cancer.
It was a long, two year battle and I was so proud of the way she continually
tried to hide the fact from her daughters. Leanne and Heather as well as the
rest of the family so as to not cause them any suffering. She passed quietly
in her sleep at 8:30 in the morning. Her family had been standing a vigil for
the last 48 hours. She leaves behind husband of 28 years Alan (Al), daughters
Heather McLellan, Leanne Walker and husband Chris, grandchildren Quintin and
Laine, (the apples of her eyes), stepsons Scott Paterson and fiance Elena
Clark, Mark Paterson and fiance Kathy Laughton. Her mother Marian Henderson of
Parksville (Pender Island), sister Gail Crumley and husband Michael, niece
Jennifer Johnson and husband Byron, grandnieces Mya, Keily and Nora, Heather
Shaw-Wood and husband Paul, sister Laurel Kellington and husband Ronald,
nephews Kenneth and Stephen. Sharon was born in Toronto and spent her younger
years being dragged around the country and Europe as an ""Army
Brat"". She loved the change of homes every couple of years as she
always had her best friend, Gail (her mirror image twin) with her on her
adventures. She then followed up by marrying a sailor who, as her father
before him, dragged Sharon and the kids all over the country, again. Sharon's
favourite saying as "This is my opinion about something I know absolutely
nothing about" and she always loved to weigh in on an argument. Her
family meant the world to her and was the source of her strength. The family
held a private Celebration of her Life memorial. For those who had the
privilege of her friendship there was nothing that was not given. Sharon was
the ""Love of my life"", my best friend, my confidant, and
my dancing partner. I am going to miss her so much. We would like to thank all
the folks that helped us on this journey, all the doctors, nurses, counsellors
and the ladies from Beacon Home Care. In lieu of flowers a donations to the
Victoria Hospice or your local Cancer Society in Sharon's name would be
appreciated. They were, and still are, a great source of comfort and support.

STREET,
Ronald - 43, Sydney Mines, April 7, 1964 - February 26, 2008. It is with
great sadness that we announce the passing of Ron Street, on Tuesday, February
26, 2008, in Cape Breton Regional Hospital, Sydney, after a courageous two
year battle with cancer. Born in Port aux Basques, N.L., he was a son of
Matthew and Ruth (Skinner) Street. Ron had a long and distinguished career
with the Royal Canadian Navy, beginning in July of 1981. He was dedicated to,
and loved, the military, and especially the sea, having served on Her
Majesty's Canadian Ships Charlottetown, Iroquois, Athabaskan, Algonquin, and
Protecteur. He also served onshore at C.F.B. Halifax, C.F.B. Greenwood, and
C.F.S. Gander. One of the highlights of Ron's career was a six month tour of
duty at C.F.S. Alert, from March to September 2005. Ron was very proud of the
fact that he was a cook and had the privilege of preparing meals for Pope John
Paul II, Governor-General Adrienne Clarkson, and members of the British Royal
Family!
An avid
outdoorsman, Ron enjoyed four-wheeling, moose hunting, and fishing. He also
enjoyed making Christmas crafts and drawing. He was a big fan of the Toronto
Maple Leafs. He loved to go to the rink and watch his sons play hockey in the
winter and baseball in summer. One of his favourite things was to entertain
people with his stories and jokes, on Saturdays, while he was preparing a good
scoff for them. Ron is survived by his loving, devoted wife and best friend,
Michelle (Prince); his sons, who were very precious to him, Matthew Bubs, and
Max, and his beautiful daughters, Melissa (Pete) and Keisha. Besides his
parents, he is also survived by sister, Mildred (Sean) Osmond, East Bay;
brothers, Johnny (Joan) Street, Port aux Basques; Art (Paula) Street,
Lloydminster, Sask.; Sheldon (Heidi) Street, Port aux Basques, and Trevor (Nicki)
Street, Port aux Basques. Also left to mourn are his mother and father-in-law,
Clarence and Catherine Prince, whom he loved dearly; sister-in-law, Deanna
(Chris) Tobin, Sydney Mines; brothers-in-law, Daryl Gorman and Alex Prince,
both of Halifax, and a number of aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, and friends.
He was predeceased by his sister-in-law, Colette Gorman. Visitation for Ron
was held in J.M. Jobes Funeral Home, 635 Main St., Sydney Mines, on Friday,
February 29, from 2-4 and 7-9 p.m. The funeral service will take place today

George
A. Shaw Sr.
May 18, 1937 – October 18, 2006
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of George Shaw Sr.,
peacefully at Aberdeen Hospital, October 18th, 2006, surrounded by his loving
family.
George was born in Thistletown, Ontario, to the late Bruce and Francis Shaw
(nee Southorn), on May 18, 1937, the third of five children. George served
proudly as a cook in the Royal Canadian Navy for 15 years, retiring in 1969 at
the rank of Leading Seaman. George served on several ships during his military
career including HMCS Bonaventure, HMCS Fraser, and HMCS Protecteur.
From 1969 to 1977 George worked as an instructor at the Adult Vocational
Training Center in Point Edward, Cape Breton, Nova Scotia. George taught short
order cooking and baking.
In 1977, George relocated his family to New Glasgow, Nova Scotia, where he
opened Tim Horton Donuts, store #77 on East River Road in New Glasgow. The Tim
Hortons chain was early in its development at this time, and George is
considered to be one of the original “pioneers” for the chain in Atlantic
Canada. During the next 29 years, George would spearhead the development of 12
Tim Hortons locations in Pictou County. Throughout these 29 proud years as a
Tim Hortons franchisee, George cherished the relationships he built within the
Tim Hortons corporate and franchise family. George truly loved the Tim Hortons
business, his customers, and most of all, everyone who works so hard every day
to live up to the high standards he set.
George had a deep commitment to giving back to the community that had been so
good to him, and over the years generously contributed to many Pictou County
charitable causes and capital campaigns. George had a great love of children
and enthusiastically supported the Tim Horton Children’s Foundation and the
Children’s Camp in Tatamagouche, Nova Scotia.
George was an avid gardener, and spent many hours tending to his lawn and
gardens at his beautiful waterfront property at King’s Head. George loved to
travel by motor home across North America with Beverley and his beloved
traveling companions, Fred and Geraldine Falconer (New Minas). George also
treasured the time he spent with Gary and Karen Wilson (Sydney) and all of his
special friends at their winter residence in Florida, and always cherished the
memories of all of the good times with “the gang” in Pictou County.
George leaves behind his loving wife of 49 years, Beverley (nee Kyle),
King’s Head; and four children: George Jr. (Christine), British Columbia;
Jim (Allyson), New Glasgow; Joni (Jim) Roper, Pictou Landing; and Terri (Ivor
McRae), New Glasgow.
George will be sadly missed by his brother, Bruce (Ruth), Ontario; and three
sisters: Janet Cunningham (Harvey), Maine, USA; Marilyn Kooiman (Henk),
Ontario; and Sandra MacLennan (Sandy), Cape Breton; as well as six beloved
grandchildren, all of Pictou County: Jason, Laura, Michael, Lindsay, Abbey and
William, along with numerous nieces and nephews.
Funeral and visitation arrangements have not yet been finalized due to health
issues within the family. Arrangements will be announced in the upcoming
weeks.
In lieu of flowers, donations to the Tim Horton Children’s Foundation, (P.O.
Box 280, Debert, N.S. B0M 1G0) or a charity of your choice would be gratefully
accepted.

Chilliwack,
BC |
Nov. 13, 1933 - Aug. 17, 2006
After a brief bout with cancer, it is with great sorrow to announce the
passing of Walter (Wally) Rychly, a cherished father, loving husband and
friend, on Aug. 17, 2006 at the age of 72. Walter was predeceased

Wally worked in the mines in Red Lake before joining the Armed Services

Germany with wife and family and one tour in Cypress before retiring
from the Armed Forces, and continued working at CFB Chilliwack as a cook
prior to his full retirement in 1993. Wally had a wry sense of
humour and quick wit that would put a smile on the face of anyone around
him and which will be deeply missed. Though now gone, but will
never be forgotten, you will live forever in our hearts.
Marion and family would like to extend
a special thanks to Dr. Hurst for his care, compassion and support. A
special thanks also goes out to all the people from Homecare for their
kind and loving care while he was ill. Last but not least many
thanks to all our friends and neighbours for the great support they gave
to Wally and family. No service will be held at deceased requests.

Paper Article that ran about the accident;
Trucker dies in fiery crash
By Jordan Press
Local News - Wednesday, February 01, 2006 @ 07:00
Wayne Fournier loved the outdoors.
Whether it was working on the lawn or in his garden or watching the cows and
horses on the farm across from his home, Fournier loved being outside. On a
trip out west with his wife Karen, Fournier went out in a boat and sat,
waiting for the right fish to catch his line.
“He had his boat, we had our camper and he was fishing,” Karen said. “He
caught a trout.” The man who family recalled as a great chef who loved the
outdoors died yesterday morning in a fiery crash on Highway 401, about 15
minutes from home. “It is a hard thing,” Karen said, sitting in the
family’s home. “He’s going to make a big void in our lives.” The
51-year-old Fournier had been driving his tractor trailer home from Toronto a
route he followed every night when he collided with another truck around 2:30
a.m. just west of Highway 38. A Hamilton-area driver pulled out of a truck
stop and entered the merging lane while Fournier drove his truck in the
right-hand lane, said Ontario Provincial Police Const. Rob Besselink.
“It’s unclear at this point who entered whose lane,” Besselink said.
The trucks clipped, and the collision sent Fournier’s truck into the rock
cut where it caught fire. “It’s very tragic,” Besselink said.
“The cause of death was the collision. The cause of the accident we don’t
know yet.” During the day, investigators were on scene trying to determine
what caused the crash, analysing debris and skid marks. An autopsy was to be
conducted yesterday. The accident closed the 401 eastbound lanes from Odessa
to Kingston until late in the day. Traffic was diverted to Highway 2, leaving
a long line of creeping cars and trucks to wind their way through the
countryside until they could reconnect with the 401 at Gardiners Road. The
highway was still down to one lane last night. Fournier had taken up driving
tractor-trailers on his dedicated route after retiring from the military. He
had spent 20 years as a chef, cooking around the world.
He got the taste for being in the kitchen in high school in Brockville, where
he grew up. Fournier worked as a short order cook at the local Zellers before
taking the chef training course at Algonquin College in Ottawa. It was also
while working in high school that he met Karen. They started out as friends,
but Fournier had his eye on her and finally their friendship grew into love.
Thirty years ago, they tied the knot. But the military beckoned and Fournier
signed up. At one point, he spent six months as part of a peacekeeping mission
in Cyprus. Karen said the military was a good life, as the family got to move
to different cities and places. In the military, Fournier was known as a guy
who could do anything with everything, making elaborate meals with whatever
was left lying around. His hours always left him time to come home and make
dinner for his family. Karen said her husband made all the meals with some
help to make the table look good.
“He didn’t make it pretty he’d make it good,” she said. “The last
few years with him driving, meals were not the same. But he would still make
Sunday night dinners.” And how he cooked was part of the show. “A pinch of
this, a dash of that never a measuring cup,” said his son Shaun, 23.
“He’d just throw it into the pan.”
Finally, after Fournier retired from the military, the family decided to make
their home in the Storrington area. He was looking for something to do and
took up driving. For someone who was very private and enjoyed having his own
time, driving seemed a good fit.
“I think he enjoyed the peace and quiet when he was driving,” Karen said.
“He enjoyed being by himself at nighttime.” The rest of the time, he
enjoyed being with his three sons Shaun, Scott, 26, and Kevin, 21 and spending
time on the golf course with his older brother Ray. “Yeah, he thought he was
Tiger Woods,” Ray said, laughing. But Fournier never took his golfing
seriously, Ray added. It was all about spending time laughing with family and
friends. He was also ready to lend a helping hand. Fournier enjoyed working,
especially if it involved physical activity, said his father-in-law Lloyd
Smith. One time, Smith and Fournier noticed a downed tree bent over Smith’s
property. There was a mention of getting rid of it, but Smith didn’t jump at
the task. “I didn’t pay any attention to it and five minutes later he’s
cutting it down,” Smith said.
Word of Fournier’s death spread through the small community quickly, with
members of the family’s church congregation bring over food and providing
support. “We’re in a small community out here,” Karen said. “I’m
sure we’ll get through this.” As for the rest of the family, Karen said
their three boys were “feeling the unfairness of it today.” But it
hasn’t hit that Fournier is gone, Ray said. “Today, it’s still shock,”
he said.
