NIGEL EDWIN (NIC) PLIMMER
PLIMMER, NIGEL EDWIN (NIC) January 21, 1943 - April 22, 2007 Nic died at the Dr. Everett Chalmers Hospital after a brief illness, surrounded by loving family and the caring angels of DECH 4NW. Born in Glasgow, Scotland he was the only child of Lt. Cdr. (RN ret.) Edwin Daniel and Alison (Lowe) Plimmer. His family lived in many parts of the world due to his father's distinguished naval career. When Nic's career dream of following in his father's footsteps was broken due to colour-blindness, he joined the British Civil Service. He married his wife of 43 years, Janice (Allen), in 1963 and they emigrated to Canada in 1965. They fell in love with and remained in New Brunswick. His beloved sons, Dan and Chris were born in Moncton in 1972 and 1974. Nic became a talented cabinetmaker and established the Pine Shop in Hopewell Cape in 1976. After a motor vehicle accident cut short that career, he went to University for the first time at the age of 39 and obtained an education degree. He progressed from teacher to counselor and found his true calling working with behaviour-disordered children. Albert County was always the home of his heart, but the family moved to Fredericton in 1991 so that Nic could take a position as a School Supervisor. He retired in 2003 but continued to work in his field as a consultant. In addition to his wife, Nic is survived by sons Chris (Mary) of Moncton, Dan of Taipei, his mother Alison (Lowe) Plimmer of Norfolk, England and grandchildren Takoda and Ciara. He will also be missed by sister-in-law, Elizabeth of Norfolk, England At Nic's request, there will be no visitation or funeral service. After cremation, his ashes will be spread in his beloved Albert County. A celebration of his life will be held at a later date.
