PYNE, Harold James – Age 86 of Smith’s Cove, passed away December 23, 2018 in Digby General Hospital.
Born December 1, 1932 in Digby, he was a son of the late Lyman and Oda (Gates) Pyne.

He was a handy-man and mechanic extraordinaire who could fix anything; he was well organized and always had a list on the go. He loved his dog, Kokanee and he loved his family and friends, whether it was a visit or a connection by phone. He had a hearty appetite and enjoyed reading the paper, watching sports and favourite shows, Blue Bloods and Big Bang Theory on the TV.
