James Stewart
Passed in: SYDNEY, Nova Scotia, Canada
Passed on: July 13th, 2012
I chose today to take my stroll to Heaven.
I lived to love a good wife, but gained a great friend. I would like to thank John, Lorraine and family, Darlene for all your help and support that you have given to me. Debby, Donna, George, Sherry, Ryan and everyone else who were good to me. Betty’s nieces and nephews for all your support; cups of tea I enjoyed with you all and your friendships. Debby, Kary, Donnie, Ronnie for all your visits; I was always happy to see you. Thanks to Dr. Myatt and Janice for all your care over the years. I must leave you all now, to go to my other home, free from pain and suffering. Remember me for all the good and happy times. No tears.
Husband, Uncle, Friend.
James passed away Friday, July 13, 2012, at the Cape Breton Regional Hospital, Sydney, surrounded by his family and friends. He was the son of the late John and Bertha Jane (Lynds) Stewart of Truro. James grew up and was educated in Sydney. James worked for 40 years at C.N. and was a member of St. Pius X Church. He was the last surviving member of his family.
James is survived by his wife, Elizabeth Ann ‘Betty’ Boyd, as well as numerous nieces and nephews.
Besides his parents, he was predeceased by sisters, Blanche, Irene, Evelyn and Louise; brother, Elroy and sister-in-law, Iris.
James gentle, loving nature taught us all to love and respect each other and never to judge others.
His words of wisdom taught us to go on without him in our journey of life. He treated others as he would like to be treated and taught us all by his example. James was a quiet, but amazing man and liked the simple things in life. He would do anything for anyone and was a good friend to all. James loved sports, especially hockey and the Screaming Eagles, who he supported for many years.
In honouring James’ wishes, there will be no visitation. Cremation has taken place. Funeral Mass to take place at St. Pius X Church, Main Street, Sydney Mines on Wednesday at 11 a.m., with Fr. Thomas John officiating. Burial at Forest Haven Memorial Gardens.
In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to the Parkinson Society.
Husband
A husband is a promise to shelter and provide.
But, even more, a husband is there to love and to guide.
He builds a better world according to God`s plan.
To his wife and family, he is a very special man.
Wife, Elizabeth and family. We will love and miss you forever.
