Patrick Power
Passed in: SYDNEY, Nova Scotia, Canada
Passed on: August 12th, 2012
A special husband, father and grandfather, Pat Power, passed away peacefully at home, surrounded by his loved ones, on Sunday, Aug. 12, 2012.
A gentle man, he truly loved his family, every moment he spent with them will live in their hearts forever. Pat made many car drives to Port Hawkesbury to visit family, and also to Bayside Drive-In for butterscotch ice cream.
He was an active member of the Royal Canadian Legion branch 128, Whitney Pier.
Pat worked at Cape Breton Regional Housing Authority for the past 32 years as a professional painter and he was thrilled to be honoured with a “No. 1 Painter” licence plate from his co-workers.
Pat is survived by his dear wife of 45 years, Brenda (Campbell); son, Edward; daughter, Donna (Kirk Quinn) and only grandchild, Danielle Power. Pat and Danielle not only shared a special “poppy” bond, they also shared the same birthday. He is also survived by his sister, Beverly (Victor); niece, Erica and brother, Bradley (Catherine). Pat will be fondly remembered by his special aunt, Mary ‘Meme’ Andrews and good friend, George Pyke. He also shared many special times with his numerous in-laws and cousins and he will be sadly missed at many family occasions.
Pat was predeceased by his parents, Edward ‘Shorty’ and Kay (Andrews), brother and sister-in-law, Joey and Joanne Power and their daughter, Audrey.
Visitation for the late Pat Power will be held at Sydney Memorial Chapel on Wednesday from 2-4 and 7-9 p.m. A celebration of Pat’s life will be held at St. Joseph’s Church on Thursday 11 a.m. with Rev. Duaine Devereaux officiating. Interment in Resurrection Cemetery.
