HENBREY, William Edward (Ted) - Age 85, of Dartmouth, passed away following a short illness on October 24, 2021 in Dartmouth General Hospital. Ted was a devoted husband and caring father and grandfather to his extended family. He loved to travel aboard ships, was an accomplished cook and vegetable gardener, loved country music and keeping on top of news and current events.

After many years serving onboard ships, he retired as a CPO2 (Engineer) in CFB Shearwater. His second career was as owner and operator of East Coast Pest Control. In his retirement, he loved going on cruises with his wife Susan, all over Europe, through the Mediterranean, to Hawaii and the Caribbean. He also enjoyed spending time with his grandchildren and his dog Abby. Ted is survived by his daughters, Diane Rose and Susan (Robert Wagner) Fleet; son, David (Eva); stepchildren, Brendan (Allison) and Debbie Nobes (Philip Lee); grandchildren, Amanda, Emma, Austin, Nicole, James, Eliza and Lucy.
