Today, I, Lynda Jones, June 10, 2015 said goodbye
to my best friend and husband. He was my rock
through lows and highs. He kept me focused on
the good and helped me though the bads. But
most of all he was my soulmate. He cherished his
extended family, Daughter - Deborah (Mike) Zimmerman,
pride and joy Granddaughters- Danielle
(Graham) Moorman and Candice Zimmerman. He
will be missed by his dog Rusty who keeps waiting
for him to come home and sleeps in his bed just
in case. Large contingency of family members and
friends which he held dear, didn’t have the opportunity
to tell everyone how much he cared but know
that he did. His Cumberland Dialysis patients and
nurses had been a large part of his life for the past
11 years, of course there was special ones who he
let into his heart and I am sure they know who he
choose as the special group. He was grateful for
the Handidart service and yes their special drivers.
He served with the Canadian Armed Forces enlisting
as a Boy Soldier July 9, 1953, often referred to
his Military family with fond memories and experiences.
He was their basketball legend and held
many individually accomplished sports records
which he retained for years. Civilian life his trades
were Electrican, Gas & Oil and successfully completing
many of his wifes Bucket to do Lists.
THE ENGINEER’S PRAYER “Almighty God, we pray
thee to bless the Canadian Military Engineers. May
our bridges always stand, and our charges never
fail, our men be ever loyal, and our officers worthy
of their loyalty. May we work diligently in all our purposes
and be skilled in our trades; good soldiers for
Queen and Country everywhere. Amen.”
