In retirement, Bud spent his summers on Rey Creek Ranch, Logan Lake, BC doing what he enjoyed most - utilizing his mechanical skills on the ranch. In winter, he travelled back to the island spending most of his time at Shorts Farm, Saanichton - with good friends Stan and Euni. In 2014, Dad moved into Gillis House, Merritt, BC where he lived comfortably until his passing. Bud enjoyed life and brought laughter and joy to many friends and all who knew him. The family would like to extend special thanks to Bud's good friend and relative Gord Garthwaite and family for their care, companionship and support during his senior years; as well as staff at Gillis House for their compassionate care.

TAYLOR, Stuart Edward, Lt, RCNVR - retired Pembroke optometrist, Royal Navy veteran, life member of the Royal Canadian Legion, and long-time local philanthropist, has died. He passed away peacefully at The Perley and Rideau Veterans Health Centre in Ottawa on Wednesday, March 30, 2016. He was 91. A Second World War Royal Canadian Navy veteran, Dr. Taylor served overseas, ending the war aboard an American submarine stationed in Bora Bora. Postwar, he received an Optometry Degree at the University of Toronto, and served the community of Pembroke for many years from his office downtown. Stuart was also a passionate outdoorsman, gardener and a King’s Scout and leader at the YMCA Camp at Golden Lake. Gordon Taylor, one of his sons, said his father was on loan to the Royal Navy at the time, while a part of a task force being gathered to invade Japan. That was called off when that nation surrendered, following the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. He said his father was a kind soul who loved gardens, horses, and the outdoors, as well as possessing a strong sense of humour. His dad also had the distinction of operating one of the longest ever optometry practices around, some 53 years. “I was lucky as my father became my friend,” Gordon Taylor said, a bond forged through fishing as part of the Caribou Fishing Club on Crutch Lake. In later years, he also learned all about the stock market from his dad, who took to keeping track of it as a way of keeping his mind sharp. One of Dr. Taylor’s proudest moments came on Feb. 16, 2013, when he was presented The Queen's Diamond Jubilee Medal, a commemorative medal created in 2012 to mark the 60th anniversary of Elizabeth II's reign. Presented to him by Senator Mike Duffy, it recognized his lifetime of work to make his community and country a better place. Then Mayor Ed Jacyno said Dr. Taylor and his family helped so many people and organizations over the years it was hard to keep track of them all. The Taylor family's more recent contributions to the community include the donation of land to the Pembroke Boys and Girls Club, on behalf of his late wife Jean, the addition of audio stations within the Champlain Trail Museum and Pioneer Village, the donation of a new library now named The Taylor Room to Calvin United Church, and the founding of the Legion Pipes and Drums, where he had bought all of the instruments and equipment to make it happen. The Stuart E. Taylor Family Pembroke Branch 72 Pipes and Drums was a lifelong dream of Dr. Taylor. When he decided to forge ahead with his dream in 2008, Piper Hugh Briand and drum major Harry Blackley began the task of assembling the band. Both Briand and Blackley had performed together with the 2 Canadian Guards Pipes and Drums during their time in the army. Dr. Taylor sponsored the band, supplying the uniforms, bagpipes and drums. By 2011 the band was ready to perform. Briand, who will be playing a lament during Thursday evening’s Legion memorial service, said it has become a proud legacy for Dr. Taylor, and an important part of the Legion, performing at Remembrance Day Services, parades and other special functions. Gordon Taylor said he and his father were watching the band march down the street one day, when Dr. Taylor tugged at his coat sleeve. “He tells me “How do you like to see your inheritance go up the street?” and laughs,” he said. “That was just Dad’s sense of humour.” Dr. Taylor, formerly of 231 Golf Course Rd., Pembroke, dearly loved husband of the late Jean Taylor (nee Briscoe). Dear father of Gordon Taylor (wife Rosemary), Ottawa; Barbara Blakney (husband Robert), Chemanus, BC; James Taylor, Dawson City, Yukon; and Dr. Lisa (Elizabeth) Taylor, Manotick. Grandfather to Jesse Taylor; Joshua, Jessica and Jade Blakney, and Symon Taylor. Step-grandfather to Ana Karina, Jacob and Caleb. Great- grandfather to Jacob and Jasmine Blakney. Son of the late J. Deacon and Gwendolyn Taylor. Friends may call at the Malcolm, Deavitt and Binhammer Funeral Home, 141 Renfrew St., Pembroke on Thursday, April 7, 2016 from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. and 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. Members of the Royal Canadian Legion, Branch 72 are requested to assemble at the funeral home on Thursday for a service at 7:30 p.m. A funeral service will be held at Calvin United Church on Friday at 11 a.m. Memorial donations to the Pembroke Boys and Girls Club would be appreciated.

WILE, Philip Oliver, CPO WS, RCN - 90, of Dartmouth, passed away peacefully in his sleep Wednesday, April 6, 2016 at Camp Hill Veterans Memorial Hospital, QEII in Halifax. Born in Bridgewater, Philip was the adopted son of the late Winifred and Latimer Wile of Wileville. Philip or “Papu” as he was affectionately called by his family, was married for 70 years to Edna Mary, “Gunna”, who passed away just three weeks ago on March 15, 2016. Throughout his long life, Dad wasn’t afraid to take on challenges of any kind. In the 1930’s, as difficult as life was on his father’s small farm, he did the chores, cut lawns and had a paper route in Bridgewater to earn money for the family. In the early war years, Dad served in the Merchant Marine and later enlisted in the Royal Canadian Navy. His trade group was Surface Weapons and he rose through the ranks to become Chief Warrant Officer, retiring in 1969 at 43 years old. Over the next several months Dad worked for Bob’s taxi, Save Easy and the Ship Victory. In 1970 he took a position as Manager of the Red Fox Beverage Room where he worked until 1980. Dad then managed the Vimy Legion for 21 years, retiring due to deteriorating eye sight in 1994. Dad was a diverse character. He loved being in the outdoors doing anything. He was an early morning person, enjoying running, canoeing and racquetball. His real passion was hunting and of course fishing for trout in those secret places the locations of which he freely shared with family and friends. Papu had a creative side as well spending countless hours playing guitar and singing country and western songs to the love of his life, Gunna, who sometimes he even convinced to join in with him. He gave concerts for his grandchildren and later his great grandchildren. On his softer side, Dad would knit, hook rugs, crochet, paint by numbers and used colored pencils and coloring books many years before adult coloring became popular. He enjoyed being in the kitchen making date squares, strawberry jam and applesauce for his family. Here are some things that defined our father, Papu. He was legally blind, had hearing aids, both hips were bad for many years, had a defibrillator and in the last 15 months of his life, he couldn’t walk. Dad had lots to complain about, but he chose not to. Dad enjoyed eating, whether a large family gathering or just a Wendy’s burger with family. We believe dad was one of the Kraft Peanut Butter teddy bears in another life. He made sure the largest jar was in the cupboard at all times, along with peanut butter cookies. He loved and was protective of his family. For a time Mom took care of him, but after her diagnosis with Dementia, Dad became the caregiver. He fiercely protected the need to remain together in their apartment. He was defiant when confronted with the possibility of separating him from his wife of 70 years. He was courageous to the end. Only a short 3 weeks after Mom passed, Dad left us to be with his beloved Eddy, “Gunna” in Heaven forever. Philip, “Papu” is survived by daughters, Judy (Karle) Joys, Mary (Andre) Noel; son Richard and spouse Betty; grandchildren; Carolyn Maclean (Greg), Tony (Monika)’ Kim Robertson (Dave), Scott MacLean, Nick MacLean (Careyann), Chris Morash (Honey); and 7 Great Grandchildren: In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Alzheimer’s Society of Nova Scotia or a charity of your choice.
