Obituary of Leonard Theodore Levy

Levy, Leonard Theodore “Jack”– age 67 years of New Ross, passed away peacefully at the Valley Regional Hospital on December 18, 2013. Born on June 13, 1946 on Mill Road, New Ross; he was the son of the late Atwood and Helen Levy. Jack left school at an early age to enter the workforce. He was employed by the Logan Drilling Company as a Class A Diamond Driller for 15 years at which time he travelled the Atlantic provinces drilling. He then became self employed in the forestry industry until sickness forces his retirement nine years ago. A battle courageously fought. Jack was a hard worker, as his great nieces Mattea said – “Uncle Jack does not like idle hands when there is a job to be done.” He was a bit mischievous for which he always blamed Captain Morgan for; he also had a kind and generous heart. Survived by his brothers Arnold, Paul (Nancy) both of New Ross, Clayton of Blandford, Garnet (Jacklyn) of Borgals Port Road and Terrance (Sharon) of Sackville; sister Phyllis Jollymore (Karl) of New Ross; also by aunts and uncles; two nieces and nine nephews and several great nieces and nephews, some of whom he took a great interest in by encouraging them to further their education. In honoring Jack’s wishes cremation has taken place and there will be no visitation or memorial service. Private family burial to take place at a later date, at the St. Patrick’s Cemetery, Mill Road.
