On April 5th, surrounded by love, Elias James Hawco (59) passed peacefully after a courageous battle with cancer. Leaving with beautiful memories, his devoted wife of 40 years, Betty; his “little girls” Tracey (Leigh), Tanya (Terry) and Tamara (Jonathan); the joys of his life, grandsons Carson and Bryson; his loving mother, Ida; adoring sisters Yvonne (Harold) and Joanne (Jack) and a wide circle of family and friends. He is predeceased by his father Edward and brother Ray. In respect of Elias’ wishes, we will say our final goodbye in a private family ceremony. After this, we invite all family and friends to drop by the Port au Port East 50+ club (Hynes’ Road) on Tuesday, April 8th from 6-8pm to celebrate Elias’ life, share a memory, a cup of tea and a few of his favourite sweet treats. In lieu of flowers, donations to the NL Children’s Wish Foundation would be appreciated. “Unable are the loved to die. For love is immortality.”
