BREWER, ROLAND A. Roland A. Brewer died peacefully at his home in Bristol's Hope, NL during the early hours of Christmas Eve. A native of Fredericton, NB, he was predeceased by his parents Orlo and Alice (Grey) and two brothers Orlo and Douglas. He is survived by his wife of 23 years, Margot (Viehweger), her son Nick Cutts of St. Petersburg, FL and three daughters Margot, a law student at the University of Ottawa; Allison, Leader of the New Brunswick New Democratic Party, and Merredith, a businesswoman and consultant and their mother Jackie Webster of Fredericton. He is also survived by eight grandchildren Justin, Jackson, Oliver, Will, Christopher, Cameron, Anna and Katie, and a niece, Patricia Good of Fredericton. Roland graduated from the University of New Brunswick Law School in 1949 and after practicing law in Fredericton for several years, became a member of the Newfoundland Bar in 1967. When he retired from his Carbonear practice he continued his involvement in a number of business enterprises in the area. Roland was a Master and Taxing Officer of the Supreme Court of Newfoundland and was made an Honourary Life Member of the Law Society of Newfoundland in 1992 - an honour bestowed not often, nor on many. He had also been Town Solicitor for the municipalities of Carbonear, Heart's Desire, Heart's Delight and Heart's Content. He was a veteran of the Second World War and has been a long-time member of the Royal Canadian Legion, Branch 23. Inquisitive by nature, Roland was a life-long learner, studying German up until the time of his death. He was fascinated by ingenuity, loved to cook, read and spend time with his dog Nikko. Active to the end, Roland led a long, healthy, and successful life. He will be mourned by his family and those who knew him well. In lieu of flowers Roland asked that, as an expression of sympathy, a donation be made to the Children's Wish Foundation. A Memorial Service was held at Bethany United Church in Carbonear on December 30.
