In memory of those who have Crossed the Bar
KAZIMER, Theodore (1935-2015) - It is with great sadness that we, the family, announce the passing of Ted Kazimer on Tuesday, November 10 at the Cape Breton Regional Hospital. Born in Glace Bay, he was the son of the late David and Agnes (Malowaney) Kazimer. After spending 5 years in the navy, Ted worked at the radar base in Sydney for 24 years before retiring. In his spare time, Ted was very active in his community, and gave many years of service as a volunteer firefighter in Dominion. He was also a justice of the peace for a number of years, a role that he greatly enjoyed and was very proud to fulfill. Ted was happiest when surrounded by people he loved, and cherished spending time in Florida with some of his closest friends. Over the years, those who have known Ted have described him in the same manner. He was a gentleman, who truly was a most gentle man. He is survived by his loving wife of 57 years, Peggy (McLean); sons David (Halifax), Bentley (Alberta); daughters Kim (Saskatchewan), Cheryl (San Diego), Kelly (Halifax); siblings Ivan (New Brunswick) and Janet O'Leary (Ont). Besides his parents, he was predeceased by his sister Lynda Marsh. There is no visitation by request. Cremation has taken place under the care and guidance of Curry's Funeral Home, 775 Main Street. A funeral mass will be celebrated on Monday, November 16, 11am at Immaculate Conception Church, Bridgeport. The Rev Daniel Boudreau will be officiating. The interment will be in the parish cemetery. At the request of the family, in lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Alzheimer's Society, Canadian Diabetes Association, Kidney Foundation, or a charity of your choice. The family would like to thank the staff at Harbourstone (Irish Cove) for their kindness and care for Ted over the last eighteen months.
Theodore's brother Ivan Kazimer also served in the RCN.
