Kennie, Sidney Eugene - 76, Truro, passed away peacefully December 16, 2010 in Colchester Regional Hospital, Truro after a 10 year battle with Lewy Bodies disease with his best friend and partner, Marnie, by his side. Born in Little Ridge, Albert Co., NB, he was a son of the late Harold and Jean (Greer) Kennie. Known as "Silent Sid" by his fellow railroad buddies, he retired from CNR after 38 years as a Conductor. Sid graciously agreed to donate his brain to science to further research on Lewy Bodies in hopes of helping others with this disease. He is survived by his wife, Marlene Whiting, Truro; children, Darlene (Jim) Guilcher and their children Nicole, Scott, East Dover, NS; Tanya (Dave Bywater) Kennie and their daughter, Courtney, Lower Sackville; Wendy (Bryan Costello) and daughter, Sophia, Georgia, USA; Lee Kennie and his children, Christina, Matthew, Noah, Calgary, Alta.; stepchildren, John (Michelle) Isenor and their children Shawn, Matthew, Emily; Mark (Tracey) Isenor, their children, Matthew, Anthony; Peter (Amanda) Isenor, and their children, Makayla, Colin; sisters, Marion, Evelyn, Beulah, Joan, Muriel, Irene, Helen; brothers, Vincent, Winston, Kenneth, Ronald; many nieces and nephews and one step great-grandchild. He was predeceased by sister, Mavis; brothers, John "Jack", Clifford, Carl, Reginald. Thank you to VON's special team referred to by Sid as his "sweet ones". When they asked him whether there was anything else they could do for him he would say "can I have another cookie?" If the cookies were all gone he would then say "I'll settle for a kiss". Cremation has taken place. No visitation by request. A memorial service will take place at a later date in the New Year. Donations in his memory may be made to the Boys and Girls Club of Truro or the Big Brothers/Big Sisters Association. Arrangements entrusted to Colchester Community Funeral Home, Truro.
