It is with great sadness that the family of Walter Royal Applin announce his passing at his home in Shoal Cove West on Friday, May 5th at the age of 67 years.
Royal fished along side his brother Howard until 2004 when his sickness first took hold.
Royal leaves to mourn with fond and loving memories his partner Mary Ann, daughter Amanda, Granddaughter Destiny (Riley), Great Grandson Leo, Brother Howard (Mildred), Sisters Ellen, Louisa (Lorenzo), Special nieces Bernice (Andy) & Nakita(Jonathan), nephews Walter (Matthew), Dennis (Cassie), Norman (Lisa), Shane(Lucy), Truman (Bernice), Nieces Sheilagh (Lloyd), Lisa (Jim), Christine, Celia (Ward), Ellen(Mike) & families, sister & brother in laws Casey, Connie, Marie, Nancy, Joanne, Kelly, Patsy, Elaine, Robin & Donald, special cousin & friend Isaac Coombs (Kim).
Royal was predeceased by his parents Mahala & Walter Applin, Mother & Father In Law Mary & Donald Buckle, Sister Marjorie (Nat) Gibbons, nephews Royal & Herman Gibbons.
Bernice would like to send a special thanks over the past year to Dennis Gibbons who has went above and beyond with taking Uncle Royal to all his appointments. Dennis was always ready to go when I couldn't. This meant more to both me and Uncle Royal than he'll ever realize. The bond between these two were more than just Uncle/Nephew. I cannot thank Dennis enoughfor everything he has done. Another cousin/friend, Isaac Coombs, was always there whenever Uncle Royal needed anything. He was always only a phone call away and was ready to do anything that he needed done.
The family would like to thank Beverly Ann Myers/Reid for being a quick response to our phone call on the night he passed. Thank you for making phone calls that needed to be made. Thank you to Tracy House, Dr. Irfan, Ced Caines, Zack Osmond and the Nursing Staff at RGHC, and the RCMP for the compassion that was shown to myself and the rest of the family.
