Lieu de naissance : New Waterford, Nouvelle Ecosse, Canada
Lieu de décès : New Waterford, Nouvelle Ecosse, Canada
Date de décès : 16 janvier 2011
On Monday, Jan. 16, 2012, our family circle was broken when God took the hand of a husband, father, grandfather and brother.
Born in New Waterford, he was the son of the late John and Veronica Leadbeater.
Dad worked 37 years as a proud miner and also spent many years as a safety officer for Devco, a job which he took great pride in. An avid sports enthusiast, he could be found at many bowing lanes throughout Nova Scotia, perfecting his game until the day he bowled his 400 in New Waterford lanes. Dad was also very involved in horseshoes in and around the province competing in singles and doubles and took home many honours. He also loved the game of darts and his beloved New York Yankees. His proudest moments were the last number of years when he got to bowl against his son, Roger in the KOC bowling tournament in which he captained the team for more than 30 years. Although sports was a big part of Dad’s life nothing compared to the summers he spent with his family and friends in Glenville, a place we all hold near and dear to our hearts.
Baldy is survived by his loving wife of 48 years, Shirley; daughters, Wendy (Eddy), Pauline (Chuckie) and his only son; Roger (Candace). Also surviving are poppie’s pride and joy, his grandchildren, Adam, Justin, Marissa, Miranda, Keith and Amanda; brothers, Alex (Sugars), Reggie, Duggie; sisters, Mary, Lucy and Linda.
Besides his parents, he was also predeceased by brothers, Allie and Tucker.
Visitation will be held Thursday, Jan. 19, 2012, from 2-4 and 7-9 p.m. at McLellan Brothers Funeral Home, 3183 Plummer Ave., New Waterford, 862-7500. A funeral mass will be held Friday, Jan. 20 at 10 a.m. in the Parish of Saint Leonard, Mount Carmel Avenue, with Fr. Ray Huntley officiating.

We miss you.
