Passed peacefully away at the Health Sciences Centre on Sunday, September 9, 2012, after a courageous five-month battle with cancer, with his loving and devoted wife of 32 years, Sharon, by his side, Brian Clancey, age 56 years. Predeceased by his parents Michael and Bertha Clancey; brother Richard; sister-in-law Olga Clancey; father and mother in-law Patrick and Rita Gosse; and brother-in-law Gus Gosse. Leaving to mourn with heavy hearts, his soul mate of 40 years, Sharon; brothers: Jack (Pearl), Mike (Mary deceased), Dave (Jean), Doug (Louise), Robert (Louise) and Clarence (Betty); sisters: Clara Clancey, Elizabeth Rodgers (Red), Beatrice Avery (Doug), and Carol Hogan (Ralph). Also mourning his loss his brother-in-law Frank Gosse (Alice); sisters-in-law: Joan Gosse (Jean), Jose Connolly (Paddy) and Joanne (Gus) in PEI; as well as numerous nieces, nephews, and a large circle of other relatives and friends. Words alone cannot express the heartfelt gratitude that both Brian and Sharon feel for Jose who was a rock and a constant support for both of them through this difficult time. Sharon would like to extend a special thank you to Gary Halley, Brian’s co-worker, all those who visited him at home and at hospital, as well as those who sent cards and good wishes. Also, many thanks to Dr. Boone, Dr. Croucher and the nursing staff of 4 North B at the HSC. Brian started his career of 37 years with the City of St. John’s as a very young man and although he worked in various capacities, he found his niche at the City Depot on Blackmarsh Road where he will be missed by all. Brian also was a bowler for many years, a sport he loved dearly and he will surely be missed by all his bowling friends. Brian was an avid fisherman who loved to frequent his favorite fishing holes with his fellow angler and best friend, his brother Robert. The Toronto Maple Leafs have certainly lost one of their most loyal and enthusiastic fans. Brian will be resting at Caul’s Funeral Home, LeMarchant Road. Visitation will take place on Tuesday from 6;00 p.m. - 9:00 p.m. and Wednesday from 10:00 a.m. - 9:00 p.m. Funeral Mass will take place at the Basilica of St. John the Baptist on Thursday, September 13th, 2012 at 9:30 a.m. Cremation to follow. Flowers gratefully accepted or donations may be made to the Children’s Wish Foundation in Brian’s memory.
