It is with great sadness that the family of the late Rendell C. Atkins of Port au Choix, NL, announce his recent sudden passing at his residence at the age of 64 years. Born to Rowena Atkins (Nee Burt) and Michael Gould, Rendell was an accomplished fisherman and known throughout the community for his expertise in mechanical matters (fixing outboard motors, generators and keeping vehicles running). He was often fondly remembered for his passionate views on world affairs and as a constant source of information on weather. He leaves to mourn with fond and loving memories his sisters Margaret Pitcher, Delphina Curtis, Juanita (Rex) Boyd, Ivy, and Barbara; brothers Richard (Freda), Martin, Wade, Craig, Bradley (Renee), and Vincent (Emily) as well as a large circle of nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends. He was predeceased by his parents and siblings Clyde, Percy, Lloyd, Clan Joseph, Sherry, Donna and Blanche. Cremation took place at Humber Valley Crematorium. Friends visited Fillatre’s Funeral Home on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. The funeral service was held on Friday, Sept. 30 at 2 p.m. at St. Theresa’s Roman Catholic Church with Rev. Marlene Harvey officiating. Interment followed at the Interfaith Cemetery, Sandy Cove. As expressions of sympathy, donations may be made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation.
