Obituary of Neil William Stright

It is with much sadness that we must announce the passing of Neil William Stright. Surrounded by his loving family and his dog Zoe, Neil passed away at the Sackville Hospital on December 28, 2014. Born on March 8, 1932 in Bayfield, N.B., he was the son of the late Fred and Ola (Briggs) Stright. Neil was a life-long fisherman and handyman until his health declined. He loved playing cards and going to local card parties and socializing with his many friends at the 50 Plus Club in Amherst, N.S. Neil was well known for his sense of humor, wherever he was. Neil will be lovingly remembered by his wife of 61 years, Carol (Spence); his son, Bruce (Cathy) of Timber River, N.B.; his daughter, Sherry (Robert) Burns of Murray Corner, N.B.; six grandchildren, Stacy (Mark) Chambers, Marc (Tessa) Stright, Michael (Nikki) Stright, Shawn Stright, Natalie (Oliver) Earle and Peter Burns (Stacey Fawcett) and by six great-grandchildren, Bryson and Drew Chambers, Ava and Emmett Stright, Sawyer Stright and Lucy Earle. Arrangements have been entrusted to Campbell’s Funeral Home, 89 Bridge Street, Sackville, N.B. (506) 364-8188. In keeping with Neil’s wishes, cremation has taken place and there will be no visitation or funeral service. Donations in memory of Neil may be made to the Sackville Memorial Hospital Foundation Palliative Care Program, Bayfield/Cape Tormentine Fire Department or to the charity of one’s choice. The family would like to thank all of the doctors and nurses at the Dr. Georges L. Dumont Hospital and the Sackville Memorial Hospital, who cared for Neil and helped him through his difficult times, especially the Dialysis Unit Staff. He loved you all. Thank you to our family and friends for your visits to the hospital and for your support, we all appreciated it very much.
