Selfless, loving, goofy, irreplaceable.
Pop Pye always held a special place in my heart. Little did I know the impact he'd have on my life in just a few years. I looked forward to every cup of tea, story and hug. Though I wasn't blood, he gave me the same unconditional love that he gave all his grandchildren. He loved to see Diesel come up over the stairs, his closet never empty of treats. Diesel and I miss you so much, Pop. We feel your presence nearby often. You're in the room whenever an inappropriate joke is told, whenever Diesel does his tricks. You're with us wherever we may roam, always making sure we return home.
"Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes that we enjoyed together. Play, smile, think of me, pray for me. Let my name be ever the household word that it always was. Let it be spoken without an effort, without the ghost of a shadow upon it."

We have many great memories of our ski doo trips to Pitts Arm, many boating excursions from “ up the Bay” to Henley Harbour and all points in between.
Family gatherings will never be the same…
We are so grateful for all our memories. Until we meet again❤️

Dad, I will miss you every day because of who you were and what you gave to me! I have so many memories but my favourites are those when we were in the fishing boat, berry picking or in the Cape. I am so thankful for the bond you had with “the kids” and for all the things you taught them and me over the years. We will be okay but moving forward without you will be our most difficult task.
Love you forever❤️
Carol

“I am forever changed by both your life and your death”
Through the sadness, I will remain forever grateful for all the hugs, the laughs, the life lessons, and all the love you had for my family and I. You will live in my heart forever, Dad, until we meet again. To my family: may the strength that Dad has always shown, be with us to guide and comfort us, in the difficult days ahead.

Poppy, I miss you. It's been hard having to live without you, but I see pieces of you everywhere I go. The world was a better place with you in it. I know you will always be with me, and that brings me comfort. The memories and stories you've shared with me over the years will stay near and dear to my heart.
I love you so much.

I am sorry to hear today of Ward’s passing. Several years ago I visited Lodge Bay to meet cousins for the first time.
Ward took me around to see them. Both Ward and Verna were very gracious hosts. To Verna and family may he rest in peace.

Verna & Family,
I was shocked and saddened to hear of Ward’s sudden passing. When I came to Lodge, you guys were the first family to invite me into your home for a meal when I was living with Senie and Harvey and it was greatly appreciated. I always enjoyed your visits when you traveled my way. Sending my sincere condolences to you all as you say your final good-byes.

C.S. Lewis once wrote that friendship is born when one person says to another, “What! You too? I thought I was the only one.” I can vividly remember the very first time that I met Ward on the wharf in Cape St. Charles and I can honestly say that it was the beginning of a good friendship.
When I heard earlier of his passing my world was silent for a moment. I reflected on my personal memories of the many conversations that we had had over the years. We had a common interest in many things…politics, global affairs, community sustainability, the fishery, and much more…including bullshit (spoken with a true Labrador accent). There was never a shortage of issues to talk about. That may have had less to do with my interest… and more to do with Ward’s love for talking. I say that in jest, of course, since he would surely argue that the opposite was much closer to the truth. Ward had an amazing sense of humor. He could keep you entertained for hours with his litany of stories, jokes and one-liners.
He was truly a good man with a big heart.
He was an intelligent man who knew many sides of an issue but took a stand on the one that best suited his cause.
He was a considerate and caring man.
Most importantly…he was a family man who took a lot of pride in being surrounded by a big clan. One that has grown considerably since my days in Lodge Bay.
Plato once wrote, "an unexamined life is not worth living." Well, my friend, I just took a moment to examine yours…and I am confident that you would agree that it was worth every second.
My sincere condolences to you, Verna, and to Juanita, Carol, Brent & Myra and all Ward’s extended family and friends. Rest easy my friend and Godspeed. Over and out…
A fitting poetic tribute by John Quincy Adams – “The Hour Glass”
Alas! How swift the moments fly!
How flash the years along!
Scarce here, yet gone already by,
the burden of a song.
See childhood, youth and manhood pass
And age with furrowed brow,
Time was – Time shall be – drain the glass,
But where in time is now?

Verna and Family….My sincere sympathies to all of you at this very sad time. Very hard to believe. And yes he truly was a kind, gentle and loving man who was a friend to everyone. How blessed Pat and I were to get to know this wonderful man, and to actually have him visit us in Vermont. Now he and Pat are both gone. Thankfully those of us left behind have wonderful memories to hold on to.
Love to all of you, Cara Lovejoy
