CANNING, ERIC RUDOLPH

Eric Rudolph Cannning was born to Obediah and Leah Canning of Englee on August 28, 1931, the third of eight children. On July 12, 1951 he married the love of his life, Gladys May Parsons, and together they raised eleven children.

He lived a very active life. At the age of ten, he started working at a sawmill for Saunders and Howell. At age fourteen he went to work in the lumber woods, where he was employed until 1978; at which time he became the janitor at Evely Collegiate in Roddickton. He was employed there until he retired at age 65.

He enjoyed cutting wood, fishing, rabbit catching, berry picking and moose hunting with the boys. He always enjoyed his daily rides with mom, until his health declined – but not his memory. Dad was a lovely singer and button accordion player, and he always played the accordion for his family. He was a friend to everyone he met, and there was always a meal of trout available for anyone who
wanted them.

He will always be dearly loved and missed by all of us.

See you soon!

TUCKER, HERBERT

Herbert R. Tucker

March 18th, 1947–March 18th, 2023

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Herbert “Herb” R. Tucker; in
his seventy-sixth year on March 18th, 2023.

He leaves to mourn, with fond and loving memories: his devoted-loving wife, Eunice Tucker. His children; son, Christopher (Heidi) Tucker, Deer Lake; daughters, Delenda (Peter) Stevens, Main Brook; Lori (Ward) Golden, Vancouver, BC. And his grandchildren; Alexandra, Lucas, Peyton, and Brittney.

Herb was a hard-working man, who had a deep love for his family, anything to do with the outdoors, and music (especially the songs by Elvis Presley). Although, he would laugh and deny it; he was a lover of sweets, especially Caramel Log Bars. It was nothing to see Herb outside working at something with a record playing in the background; building something new, whether it would be a bird house or his adored “Sugar Shack”.

Herb was a collector of many things, rocks, model cars, driftwood, the list goes on; he loved taking pictures, going on walks: experiencing everything he could. There was never a dull moment being surrounded by Herb, he never failed to put a smile on someone’s face; and there was never a story he couldn’t tell, or a joke he couldn’t make up.

Herb is predeceased by his parents, Albert and Ruth (nee Simms) Tucker; his father-in-law, James Samson; his siblings, Joseph (Myrtle) Tucker, Charlotte (Frank) Lilly, Gladys (Edward) Patey, Gloria (Anthony) Notaro, Pearl (Gabez) Howell, Effie (Charles) Hewlin, Francis, Verna, and Wilfred; his sister-in-laws, Hildegard Tucker, Clara Tucker, Dolly Lavers; and his brother-in-laws, Ralph Davies, Arthur Gloster, Phillip Samson.

He is survived by mother-in-law; Mary Samson of River of Ponds; his brothers; Gord Tucker, Chris (Sheila) Tucker, Douglas (Marlene) Tucker, Edward Tucker, Robert (Wanda) Tucker; his sisters; Berdina Gloster, Annie (Robert) Poirier, Joyce Davies, Donna (Harris) Tucker, Joan (Wallace) Hoard; his sister-in-laws; Vera (Wilfred) Patey, Jean (David) Cluney; his brother-in-laws; Morris (Sheila) Samson, Deon (Danette) Samson, Gerry (Rosilyn) Samson, Melvin Lavers.

As well as many nieces, nephews, and friends. Visitation and singing will take place from the Main Brook Pentecostal Church on Tuesday, March 21, 2023 at 7:30 PM. His service will be officiated by Pastor Skinner at the Bethel Pentecostal Church in Main Brook, on Wednesday, March 22nd, 2023 at 2:00pm.

We sat beside your bedside,
Our hearts were crushed and sore;
We did our duty to the end,
‘Til we could do no more.

In tears we watched you sinking,
We watched you fade away,
And though our hearts were breaking
We knew you could not stay.

You left behind some aching hearts,
That loved you most sincere.
We never shall and never will
Forget our loved one so dear.
