It is with sadness that we, the family, announce the passing of Murdock Gabriel Odo, on Saturday, Oct. 31, 2009 at home.
Born in New Waterford on March 24, 1949 Murdock was the son of Thomas Wilfred ‘Duddie’ Odo and the late Theresa (Gillis) Odo. He was a devoted husband, father and grandfather, and a member of St. Agnes Church. He drove taxi for 10 years with Scotchtown Taxi and then later was employed at Mayflower Mall for 18 years as maintenance supervisor.
Murdock loved travelling over the Cabot Trail and vacationing in Cheticamp. He always enjoyed a good game of tarabish with his dad and his brothers, loved being around people and was an avid sports fan.
