CLANCEY, Richard William
July 26, 1943 - January 24, 2009.
He was a son of William J. and Mary Catherine Clancey. He is survived by his wife, Mary Ellen; Liam, Raina and Fionn, Moira, Dylan, Jake, Sam, and Sylvie, Joey, Ellen, Eamon, Tom; brothers, Jim and Bill. Love never endsÉ Richard was a family man, wealthy beyond price in the love and regard of his children and the boundless joy of his dear grandchildren. His pleasures were simple, life at the "tree house", a round or two of golf, a day at the beach, winter walks, good books, great music, "kitchen" bridge in pleasant company. The affection and kindness of wonderful friends enriched his whole life and, at the end of his journey, there was much comfort to be found in their care and regard for him. We knew always that we had been blessed, greatly blessed in our friends, and we find our sad hearts a little eased by their steadfast love and compassion. Richard was always touched by the appreciation expressed by you who were once his students, but he was quite astounded by the outpouring of your remembrance and affection in these past weeks. He never realized fully the weight of his influence as the outstanding teacher you described in your letters and cards, as his great ability was ever tempered by his equally great humility. Our gratitude to all you kind young people who recognized his gift by so generously giving it back to him in his hour of need. He loved the residents at Bonny Lea Farm, the family of L'Arche Halifax, and the babies of Project Rachel. He would be most pleased by any remembrance made in honor of his life. Cremation has taken place. Mass will take place Wednesday, January 28, at 2 p.m. in St. Anthony's Church, Hubbards. Reception to follow. Celebration of a life with family and friends will be held at the Hubbards Fire Hall, Saturday, January 31, 2-4 p.m. Donations may be made to the following: Bonny Lea Farm, P.O. Box 560, Chester, N.S., B0J 1J0; L'Arche Halifax, P.O. Box 22304, Bayers Rd RPO, Halifax, NS, B3L 4T7; Project Rachel, NSUL, P.O. Box 8333 Station A, Halifax, NS B3K 5M1 But since it falls unto my lot that I should go and you should not I'll gently rise and softly call, good night and joy be with you all. Fill to him the parting glass.
PIKE, Daisy Pauline
Fall River, passed away peacefully on January 24, 2009, in the QEII Health Sciences Centre, Halifax, surrounded by family. Pauline was born in St. John's, N.L., the daughter of the late Daisy and Alfred Rees. She was a graduate of Bishop Spencer College, and married Harold Pike in 1944. In 1946 they emigrated from Newfoundland to Nova Scotia, but always remained proud Newfoundlanders. Volunteer work at the Anglican Church was an integral part of Pauline's life, first at Christ Church, Dartmouth, and then at St. Thomas' Church in Fall River. The friendships she made there meant a great deal to her. Not a sports fan before she married, Pauline decided to become one when she realized how much time Harold spent watching baseball and hockey. She grew to love both games, and in 1972, when the USSR hosted the Moscow portion of the Russia-Canada hockey summit, Pauline made sure she and Harold were in the stands at the Luzhniki Ice Palace to cheer for Team Canada. Pauline also rooted for the Toronto Maple Leafs and Blue Jays for many decades, with varying degrees of success. Pauline was predeceased by husband, Harold and siblings, Dorothy, Jim and Joan. She is survived by her children, Sharon (Stan) Lloyd, Fall River; David (Kathy), Halifax, and niece D'Ann (Dieter) Feth, Lower Sackville. Pauline was a loving grandmother to Scott, Leah, Andrea and Amie; and proud great-grandmother ("GG") to Kingsly, Jaxson and Isabella. The family would like to thank the staff at the Halifax Infirmary, QEII, especially the nurses on 8.2, for their compassionate care in the last days of Pauline's life. Cremation has taken place. A memorial service will be held at St. Thomas' Church in Fall River, Tuesday, January 27, at 10:30 a.m. Reception to follow in the church hall. Donations may be made to St. Thomas' Church Building Fund.
