In memory of those who have Crossed the Bar
ROY, Felix Joseph Aime - 77, of Dartmouth, passed away on February 8th peacefully, yet unexpectedly, at home. Born in Kedgwick, NB, he was a son of the late Walter and Anne Berthe (Belanger) Roy. Felix grew up in Kedgwick and spent many summers with his father in the Rapids. As a young man, he worked in the fire towers in the woods before leaving to join the Royal Canadian Navy at age 17. He became a weapons technician in the navy and travelled all over the world and was chosen to serve on the HMY Brittania when it sailed on the Great Lakes. After retiring from the navy, he enjoyed driving around the Maritimes for Dartmouth O’Regan’s. Felix loved hockey and played until the age of 76. He enjoyed taking his grandchildren to their practices and games and was always cheering them on. He was that “go to” guy and always had the right tool for the job. He loved the outdoors, having picnics at Smiley’s Park, and most of all cherished time spent with his children and grandchildren. He is survived by his partner in life, Mariette; daughter Lucy (Mike) Hobeck; sons, Sam (Jill), Luke (Jane); step-daughters, Julie (Jason) Wambolt, Lori (Dana) Walton; grandchildren, Rachel, Jake, Brittni, Kamryn, Brady, Jessica, and Sara. He is also survived by his siblings, Lily, Noella (Michel), Leon, Leonce, Colette (Raymond), Romaric (Mary) and many nieces and nephews. Felix was predeceased by his first wife Evelyn, infant daughter Monica; siblings, Hubert, Huguette and Nelson. Cremation has taken place. The memorial mass will be held at 10am, Thursday February 12th in St. Peter’s Parish, 10 Maple Street, Dartmouth, Father Charles Burke officiating. Reception to follow. Interment in Dartmouth Memorial Gardens. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Operation Smile Canada.
