John Berton Archibald "Archie" Killawee

KILLAWEE, John Berton Archibald “Archie” – 78, Truro, passed away peacefully, surrounded by his loving family, on Wednesday, April 4, 2018, at Colchester East Hants Health Centre, Truro. Born in Truro, he was a son of the late John William and Edith Wilhelmina (Archibald) Killawee. Archie was a well-respected teacher of mathematics at several high schools throughout the province, eventually finding his home at Nova Scotia Teacher’s College, where he taught for over 20 years. He had a love for teaching and for mathematics that he continued to enjoy long past the end of his career. He was also an avid amateur genealogist and could spend hours doing family history. Archie was a quiet, unassuming man with a strong moral code; he had a huge impact on so many people who passed through his life. Although he suffered from poor health for many years, he seldom complained and always thought first of others; he was well-loved and will be sadly missed. Archie is survived by his loving wife of 51 years, Janet (Walker); children, Robert (Jacqueline), Karen (Allan), John (Patricia); honourary son, Robert Daly; grandchildren, Luke and Kate Henley, Samuel and Sophie Killawee; brothers, Thomas (Elinor), Philip (Grace), Paul; nephews and niece, David, Suzanne, Andrew, Matthew, Jacob, Stephane. For the last 16 years, his grandchildren have been the light of his life. Along with his parents, he was predeceased by his older brother, Charles Douglas Killawee; numerous aunts and uncles. Arrangements have been entrusted to Mattatall – Varner Funeral Home, 55 Young Street, Truro, where Archie’s family will receive friends from 6-8 p.m., Sunday, April 8, 2018, and funeral service 2 p.m., Monday, April 9, 2018, Reverend Douglas Chard officiating. Reception will follow. Spring interment in Crossroads Cemetery, Valley. If so desired, donations in Archie’s memory to Colchester East Hants Health Centre or a charity of choice are welcomed.
