George Pardy was 90 years old when he passed away in hospital in Middleton NS, April 3 2020. He had recently moved from Deer Lake Newfoundland. He will be missed and fondly remembered by all who knew him. He held a special place in his heart for his children, grand-children, great grand-children, his many nieces, nephews, cousins and indeed all of his extended family. He is survived by his children Cheryl, Darren, and Don, and his sister Elva Rideout. Born in Port Blandford NL to Alfred and Rachel Pardy, his family later moved to Corner Brook where in 1954 he married Margaret (Crowley), (deceased April 7, 2019). Dad was a hard working family man who loved and was loved by his family and friends. We will miss his smile, his quick wit and humour, and his ability to spin a good yarn. He was a wonderful landscape artist, and loved hunting and fishing in the Newfoundland outdoors; hobbies he maintained into his 80's. The places he visited during these trips often inspired his beautiful paintings. A graveside service in Pasadena NL. will be held at a later date to be announced. For Our Dear Dad. I’d often sit down and on the phone, talk to our dear Dad Pretty soon his stories would have me grinning once again “It was freezing cold here yesterday, and today again it snowed” When you’re down in Newfoundland that’s just the way it goes I wish I could be down there and enjoy just once again A cup of Tetley tea and Purity crackers in a can When I think about them days I wish them back again Sitting at the table there talking with my dear Dad There’d be trout down in the freezer And moose out on the stove Mom there baking fresh bread, working on the dough The house all warm and cozy With his paintings on the wall The snow outside just coming down been that way since the fall Our dear Dad he lived a life to ninety years of age Now we count the blessings and turn another page But I’ll still reminisce, oh to have just once again Sitting at the table talking there with my dear Dad
