Raymond ROLFE Raymond ROLFE

We, the family of Raymond Rolfe, would like to announce his passing on Sunday, October 23, 2016. Ray, better known to those who knew and loved him as “Papa” was 92 and a resident of the Cove Guest Home, Sydney, at the time of his passing. A veteran of the Second World War, he served overseas with the Cape Breton West Nova’s. During his life, Papa worked hard and was very well respected for his commitment to his work. He was predeceased by his wife, Annie (Lively) “Nana”; parents, Harold and Mabel; brother, Aubrey; sister, Vera.
Papa will be forever missed by his two sons, Raymond (Gloria) and Michael (Martia); his treasured grandkids, who meant the world to both him and Nana, Tracey MacGillvary (Vince), Christopher and Ashley; two great-grandkids, Emma and Ben. He is also survived by his sister, Olga.
Visitation will take place at Sydney Memorial Chapel on Wednesday 7-9 p.m. A funeral service will be held in the chapel on Thursday 11 a.m., with Captain Corey Vincent officiating. In lieu of flowers, because the only “flower” Papa enjoyed was the “flour” he used in the kitchen baking for his family and friends, memorials can be made to Veterans Voices of Canada at vetvoicecan.org or the Cove Guest Home. We would like to thank the staff of the Cove for being so loving and caring and always making both our parents feel special.
Words of comfort can be sent to the family at www.sydneymemorialchapel.ca or e-mail sydneymemorialchapel@ns.sympatico.ca
