Aubrey passed away on Saturday, May 14, 2016, surrounded by his loving family in the Cape Breton Regional Hospital, Sydney.
Born in Dominion on Aug. 27, 1928, Sydney, he was an alumnus of St. Francis Xavier University and spent his career teaching in Sydney area schools, retiring from Sydney Academy. He was a lifelong tinkerer and was often found in his workshop sporting his trademark coveralls or bicycling around Sydney. He also loved to travel and his family grew accustomed to packing up the station wagon and travelling throughout Canada and the United States. He enjoyed quizzing his 25 grandchildren on obscure questions that were rarely answered correctly.
Aubrey was a hardworking, proud family man and is survived by his wife of 59 years, Stella (McEachern); children, Brendon (Dawn), Calgary, Elizabeth (Gord) Goodwin, Calgary, Cynthia (Richard) Campbell, Calgary, Martha (Ken) MacRae, River Ryan, Lyndon (Nancy), Sydney Forks, Rosemary (Gary) East, Haverhill, Massachusetts and Alice (James) MacLellan, Sydney River; grandchildren, Kira (Jon) Simons, Jessica Farrell; Shona, Lyndon, Brett and Patrick Goodwin; John, Emily, Anna and Stephanie Campbell; Elizabeth, Eric (Barbara) and Alexandra MacRae; Mary Ann, Aubrey, Kate and Lilly Farrell; Isabelle, Ian and Iris East; Allistair, Beth, Owen, Caroline and Fiona MacLellan; great-grandchildren, Julia, Jack, Declan and Ava Simons; sisters, M. Helen McNeil and Martha Brazill and their caring families; numerous nieces, nephews and other extended family members.
He was predeceased by his parents, Thomas and Martha Farrell, Dominion; brothers, Thomas, Pat and Jim; and sister, Shirley in infancy.
