BUFFETT, Alister Forsey
It is with great sadness the family of Alister Forsey Buffett of Grand Bank announce his passing at Blue Crest Interfaith Home, Grand Bank on June 7, 2021 at the age of 82 years. Leaving to mourn with many loving memories wife Elsie of 60 years; sons Colin (Kimberley) of Grand Bank and Terry (Rhonda) of Sims Settlement, NS; grandchildren Crystal Vey (John), Kelli Buffett, Davey Buffett and Charlie Buffet; sisters Bea Stoodley (Allan) and Peggy Bradbury (Dave); brothers William Buffett (Lillian) plus a large circle of other family and friends. Predeceased by parents Wilfred and Elouise Buffett, parents-in-law Jerry and Louise Matthews; brothers Tom, George and Bruce. In keeping with Alister's wishes cremation has taken place. Family will be accepting visitors at Serenity Funeral Home, Grand Bank on Thursday, June 10th from 9-11AM, 2-4PM and 7-9PM. Interment to follow at a later date. Alister was born and lived in his entire life in Grand Bank. He raised his family there and worked alongside his brothers at the family business up until the early 90's. At that time he and his wife Elsie, started their own business venture until their retirement in 2004. Family and friends were very important to Alister but one of his life's passions was his 60 plus years with the Grand Bank Lion's Club. He dedicated much of his spare time with the Lions which gave him great satisfaction in knowing that he played a role in the great work that the Lions organization has done in the community of Grand Bank. With this in mind and in lieu of flowers donations in his memory may be made to the Grand Bank Lion's Club, Box 247, Grand Bank, A0E 1W0. Today, I want to pay a tribute to Alister (Al) Buffett, a citizen of Grand Bank who has left a legacy that spans decades. Al, who passed away on Monday at the age of 82, swam across Grand Bank harbour in April of 1958 to rescue nine-year-old Lloyd Williams from drowning - Al was later presented with Scouting's Highest Award for Bravery by then Gov. Gen. George Vanier. Al went on to become one of Grand Bank's best soccer players, helping to lead the GeeBees to six Burin Peninsula championships and two provincial titles as well as being presented with the Provincial MVP Award in 1960. He spent his entire working life at his family's business and then running his own business along with his wife. He was also a devoted community volunteer which included more than sixty years as the longest-serving member of the Grand Bank Lions Club. Al leaves to mourn his wife, Elsie, two sons - Terry and Colin and their families - as well as two sisters and one brother; plus many other relatives and friends. I consider Al, who in addition to being my brother-in-law, as being one of my best friends - we started and finished school together. "Rest in peace old buddy - you are going to be missed by so many". Wrote by: Allan Stoodley Funeral arrangements entrusted to Serenity Funeral Home, Grand Bank.

Laurien loved having company and the more the merrier, her grandkids were her pride and joy. If you visited her you could be sure she had the radio on listening to the music. She loved flowers and seeing them grow in her garden was her delight. Her family has many good memories of her that they will hold close to their hearts forever. But if you were to ask most people that knew her they would say she made the best bread and stewed cod heads they have every eaten. In the little town of Baine Harbour she made many friends and was know by many as "Hun". She will be missed by so many but her memory will live on in her family and friends.

They done everything together and he took care of her to his last breath, she was his world. He was a great father and best friend to his son Craig who he loved dearly and was so happy to have him home living close by. They played darts together and spent many hours together, they won the provincial dart title together and he was so proud of that accomplishment. Craig was a Toronto Maple Leaf fan and Eugene was a diehard Montreal Canadian fan so that obviously caused a lot of fun for them both. They got to go to a game in Montreal together and it was a gift from Sheila to them both. Eugene purchased personalized Montreal jerseys for both his grandkids not caring about the cost. He loved his grandchildren and loved spending time with them and they loved him as well. He started working at Marystown fish plant and worked there until it closed and then went on to be an industrial scaffolder. Eugene enjoyed doing wood working and trouting in his spare time. He was a friend to many had great sense of humour and loved to laugh. He wasn't a man to complain or talk about his own sickness but would do anything to help anyone else. He was a member of the Burin Fire Department for 17 years, he joined on his birthday on February 21, 1989 and his dedication started right away he had his first call and didn't even make it home for his birthday celebration. He served as fire chief from 2005-2006 when he had to resign from his duties because of work commitments in Alberta, it was a very sad day for Eugene the day he turned in his uniform. The tribute the fire department in Burin gave him last night shows how much he was respected and loved by many you can view the video in the memorial video link below. The family will never forget the kindness and thoughtfulness of this final tribute to him. Also the family wants to thank nurses Tracey and Tamara and Dr. Le for their kindness and care of Eugene in his final hours. It will never be forgotten. Eugene maybe gone from this world but he leaves behind a legacy of family and countless good deeds that will always be remembered by all.
