Cornelius Jr. "Case" Pater

66. It is with great sadness that we announce the sudden passing of Case Pater on Sunday, November 20, 2011 at South Shore Regional Hospital in Bridgewater, N.S., after a brief battle with cancer.
He was the son of the late Cornelius Sr. and Gerritje Pater. Case was the beloved husband of Marlene (Birt) and father of sons, Chris Pater (Shelley Cameron), Longueuil, Quebec, and Craig Pater (Claire Doucette), Winsloe, P.E.I.; and daughter, Lori MacIsaac, Bridgewater, and son-in-law, Ian MacIsaac. He is survived by his siblings, Jerry van Kampen, Gerrit Pater, Cornelia Aten, Audrey Uyterlinde, Dinnie Larter, Eveyln Vessey and John Pater, all of P.E.I.
Case immigrated to Canada from the Netherlands at the age of six where his family resided in P.E.I. Throughout his life Case worked as a dairy farmer, owned and operated a farm machinery business and sold real estate before helping his wife run her Day Care Business in Charlottetown. In 2007, he and Marlene moved to Italy Cross, Nova Scotia, to help his daughter, Lori and son-in-law, Ian in the operation of their businesses.
Case will be remembered as having a terrific sense of humour and could always make you laugh or smile. He was the type of person you enjoyed spending time with. He was always very engaging, a great conversationalist and eager to know how your day was. He enjoyed spending time with his family and grandchildren, Hannah, Emily, Emma and Alyson. He was very social and enjoyed the wonderful people of Bridgewater. He loved to smoke his pipe and had a taste for unusual delicacies. The world was better place with him in it.
Visitation 7-9 p.m. Wednesday with a Celebration of Case’s life at 11 a.m. Thursday, both in R.A. Corkum Funeral Home, Wileville. Rev Ivan Norton officiating. Cremation will follow the service with interment at a later date.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Canadian Cancer Society or the Canadian Diabetes Association.
