JANES, Robert C. (WO Retired)
The Chronicle Herald, Halifax, May 12, 2006
JANES, Robert C. (WO Retired) - It is with great sadness we announce
the passing of Bob Janes on May 10, 2006,
beloved husband and father, brother and friend. Bob was born on Pool's
Island, N.L., November 13, 1936, the son of Emily (Dyke)
and John Janes. As a child he moved to Portugal Cove near St. John's and left
there at the age of 20, when he joined the Army Corps of Engineers (August
1956). He spent his army years mostly in Chilliwack and three postings to Germany.
In 1983 he retired to beautiful "downtown" Nictaux Falls
with his wife, Nancy and sons, Cory and Cannon. He created a home from an old
school and became a very community-minded citizen. He supported his church,
became a scout leader, sang in the Valley Men's Gospel Choir and volunteered
with the Nictaux Youth Group.
His passions in life were his family, his wife,
Nancy, and his sons, Cory (basketball player extraordinaire), Terence Bay,
Halifax Co., and Cannon (an officer and a gentleman), Cole Harbour, Halifax
Co. They called him "our dad the miracle man" because
he could fix anything and did so with great joy. He loved his time at the
cottage on Zwicker Lake and his old yellow 1936 Dodge, playing duplicate
bridge on Monday nights in Wilmot, auctions and Saturday morning yard sales.
In 1992 he started his business (Janes' Power Tools) and this gave him
immense enjoyment. He was a jack-of-all trades and master of many, as many
of his customers can attest to. He loved a challenge; the impossible fired
his creative mind and made him tick. How he loved life and laughter. When
he was diagnosed with colorectal cancer in January 2005, he decided to live
each day his way - no medical treatment, just food, family and friendship to
sustain his body and soul. He lived and died his way, surrounded by those he
loved and knowing how much he was loved.
He is survived by his wife, the former
Nancy Thompson; sons, Cory (Jennifer Nauss), Terence Bay; Cannon, Cole Harbour;
and sister, Loretta Sheppard, Portugal Cove, N.L. He was predeceased by his
first wife, Franziska, in 1970; sister, Madeline Squires; and his in-laws,
Charlie and Evelyn Thompson. Visitation will be held 2-4 and 7-9 p.m. Friday,
May 12, in Middleton Funeral Home (902) 825-3448. Funeral service will be
held 2 p.m. Saturday, May 13, in Nictaux Baptist Church, Rev. Bill McLeod officiating.
Interment will be in Nictaux Cemetery. Donations in memory may be made
to Dr. Catherine McNally, Annapolis Valley Palliative Care. On-line condolences
may be sent to: middletonfh@ns.sympatico.ca
