Obituary
TWADDLE, Owen Maurice - 60 years of age. It is with great sadness that our loving father, grandfather and lifelong friend passed away December 16, 2004, very peacefully, surrounded by his family and friends after a very brief sickness with cancer in Dartmouth General Hospital. He was predeceased by his wife, Jeanne (Lamb); parents, Annie and Harry Noiles; father, Maurice Twaddle, and his infant sister, Rose Marie. He is survived by his children, Karen (Eric Moir), Dartmouth; Susan, New Brunswick; Owen David (Kelli), Petawawa; Rachel (Chris Stewart), Dartmouth. "Grumpy" will be deeply missed by his pride and joy, his grandchildren, Katrina, Makenna, Luisa and Stan Lucas. He will be sadly missed by his big brother, Keith Noiles (Laura), Massachusetts; mother, Margaret Haynes (Eugene); sisters, Gloria King, Janey Ogden; brother, Paul Haynes; many nieces and nephews and his special friend, Sheila Cormier. He retired to his hometown of Amherst after retiring from the Royal Canadian Navy after 32 years of service. He sailed with many friends on many ships, including The Cape Scott, Yukon, Annapolis, Iroquois and the Gatineau. No matter where the "Worm" went, he knew everyone. He also worked at the Rifle Range and the Fleet School. In retirement he became quite a regular at the "Office" with all his buddies. He loved hockey, his time at the cottage at Jacksons Point, his hunting trips, his feeds of lobster and deer meat, having a few "smiles" with great friends. He enjoyed his Tuesday night darts with his buddies. He loved music and a great jive. He made many great friends after returning to Amherst and we thank them for keeping an eye on him. We will forever miss you Dad, see you on the clam tide. Visitation was held in Furlong's Funeral Home in Amherst, Sunday from 2-4 and 7-9 p.m. His funeral service will be held in Cumberland Memorial Chapel in Amherst today at 11 a.m. with Rev. Patti Blundell officiating. We thank the nurses at Dartmouth General, especially Maureen. We thank all his navy friends for the stories shared with us at the hospital, it helped us greatly. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Canadian Cancer Society or the Amherst Branch of the Royal Canadian Legion for the Owen Twaddle Memorial Bursary.
