DEUVILLE, Webster John - 96, Truro, passed away Friday, August 22, 2014, just seven days before his 97th birthday, at Colchester East Hants Health Centre, Truro. Born in Bible Hill, he was the son of the late Joseph “Fred” and Grace (Hamilton) Deuville. Web was a very hard worker beginning at a very young age. He served with the Army as a carpenter and worked at various other occupations such as barber, taxi driver, sold fish, and was employed with Domtar. His passion and love for the game of hockey lead him and his wife Marjorie to begin Deuville’s Rink in the late 50s. The Hockeyville experience of 2006 had a huge impact on his life. The support of Salmon River and area was overwhelming to Web and showed how very important the rink and his passion had become to the community. He is survived by two daughters, Darlene (Carl) Weatherbee, Donna McCallum; three sons, Leroy (Virginia), Owen (Lorraine), Ellery (Sheryl), all of Salmon River, 13 grandchildren; 16 great grandchildren; many nieces and nephews; sisters-in-laws, Helen, Vivian and Audrey. Along with his parents, he was predeceased by his wife of 62 years, Marjorie Vida (Logan); one daughter in infancy; two sons in infancy; brothers, George, Herbert, Ivan, Wilfred and Frank.
