MERIGOMISH – John “Harley” Kellock, age 38, of Merigomish passed away suddenly Saturday, November 14th, 2009, as the result of a motorcycle accident.
Born in New Glasgow, he was the eldest son of Sandy and Dianne (Livingstone) Kellock.
Harley had been a resident of Merigomish for the past eight years. Harley was a member of St. George’s Anglican Church. Harley graduated from East Pictou Rural High School, 1989; following which he pursued his education at Dalhousie University, Halifax, graduating with a Bachelor of Science in Biology, 1993. Harley was employed in the Engineering Department at Sobeys Head Office, as a project manager and was also president of the Northumberland Windfield Project, something which he was very passionate about.
