PEDDLE, Raymond 57
of Beaver Bank
The Chronicle Herald, Halifax, January 25, 2010
passed away January 23, 2010, in the VG Site, QEII. Born in Whitbourne,
N.L.,
he was the son of the late Emma and Dolah Peddle. A proud father of two, he
enjoyed the intimacy of special times spent on family vacations. The one thing
that Ray would always make sure of was that someone was at the track with his
son. Although Ray was only new to the sport of oval track racing, he enjoyed
every moment of watching Sean race. If it was not for the love of fishing that
Ray felt he had to pass onto his son, Ryan would have never left his video
games. Ray's career goal was to always help other people, starting as an orderly
at Toronto East General, where he met his future wife, Susan. After following
his beloved to Nova Scotia, Ray advanced his career by achieving his diploma
in Social Work from NSIT. In his 30 years of service, he has helped countless
families through difficult times.
Ray was introduced into scouting in 1999
and quickly developed a passion for the movement. Not only was he a colony
leader in Beaver Bank for seven years, he was also the advisor to the youth
reps of Sespenaak Centre, which put him in an active role in countless scouting
events. From the time he started as a scouter to the day that he regretfully
had to withdraw, he tried his hardest to improve the movement, no matter what.
A Newfoundlander at heart, he had a genetic love of the sea which drew him
to the beauty of the tall ships. So the family rec room is now decorated in
the tall ship theme. Over all the things that he enjoyed doing in his lifetime,
he has gathered numerous friends and cared for all who he has met.
Ray is survived
by his loving wife, the former Susan Cross; sons, Sean and Ryan; sisters, Annie
(Pat), Ruby (Peter), Linda (Leanord), Sharon (Ray), Judy (Glenn); brothers,
Bob (Freda), Wes (Grace) and Don (Janet); several nieces and nephews, including
his goddaughter, Chrissie. Visitation will be held today, January 26, from
2-4 and 7-9 p.m. and Wednesday from 12-2 p.m. in Atlantic Funeral Home, 125
Sackville Dr., where funeral service will be held Wednesday, January 27, at
2 p.m. Burial in Oakridge Memory Gardens. Reception to follow in funeral home
recreation lounge. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Peddle
family and/or Second Beaver Bank Scouting. On-line condolences may be made
