Obituary
OULTON, Golden "Keith" - 68, Halifax, formerly of Hacketts Cove, passed away Saturday, April 12, 2003, in the VG Site, QEII. Born in Bay Verte, N.B., he was a son of the late Robert and Tora (Trenholm) Oulton. Keith graduated from Mount Allison University with a bachelor of commerce degree. His first job and love of sweets began at Moirs as a cost accountant. He then went on to work in Ottawa for the federal government, returning to Halifax with HRDC, where he remained until his retirement in 1994. His hobbies and interests knew no bounds having patiently built a 36 foot sailboat from bow to stern with his own hands. From building stonewalls or clearing the lot for a home in Hacketts Cove to something as fine as carving a bird from a single piece of wood, Keith pursued each interest with equal commitment and enthusiasm. He was an avid golfer, sailor, potter, painter, carpenter and traveler. He was also an avid student whom you could count on having several books on any sport, repair, hobby or interest and was also a willing teacher eager to share his wealth of knowledge with anyone who would listen. He loved to play the mandolin and the sight of his grandchildren dancing to his music would light up his eyes. Saturdays would always find Keith at the Brewery Market and he made many friends there. He valued their conversation and company. Keith was an elder in the United Church, taught Sunday school and was an active member of his community, who was not afraid to voice his opinion. He will be sadly missed but never forgotten by all who knew him. He is survived by his wife, the former Beverly J. Campbell; son, Timothy (Gloria), Tantallon; daughters, Terri (Wayne) Wetendorf, Georgia; Susan (Thomas) Laing, Halifax; brothers, Alison (Judith), Moncton; Donald (Patricia) and Winston, both of Florida; Gary, Toronto; sister, Joan (Dan) Stewart, Florida; grandchildren, Julie, Madison and Sam. Besides his parents, he was predeceased by sister, Shirley. Memorial service will be held 2 p.m. today in William Black Memorial Church, Glen Margaret, Rev. Jim Forbes officiating. Burial to follow in church cemetery. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Canadian Cancer Society. On-line condolences may be made at: www.rawalker.ca
