Corner Brook, sisters Alice (Bill) Bezanson, Berwick, Nova Scotia, and Florence,
Cambridge, Ontario, his eight grandchildren, and one great-grandchild. He
was predeceased by his sister Mary Connolly, Ottawa, Ontario. As well, he
will be remembered by his many nieces, nephews, and other relatives, the
numerous friends and neighbours he has had over the years, and by his cousins
back in Scotland, with whom he kept in touch, and to whom he was affectionately
known as Der. While Rod was a long-time resident of the city of Corner Brook,
which he was truly pleased to call his home, he was actually born in Blairgowrie,
Scotland, to the late Michael and Catherine Bell. He moved to Newfoundland
at the age of eleven in 1946, after his father was hired by Sir Eric Bowater
to establish and manage Hammond Farm in Little Rapids. He and his family
lived on the farm, where he worked as a farm hand in the summers and became
known as Buster. He graduated from Corner Brook Public School in 1952, after
which he attended Mount Allison University in Sackville, New Brunswick, and
was then employed by Bell Canada in Toronto as a telephone technician. Eventually,
he returned to Newfoundland and worked in the electrical department at the
Bowater's Pulp and Paper Mill in Corner Brook. In 1959 he and Violet married,
and he decided to return to university. At the same time, they started their
family, meaning he had to halt his studies periodically to earn enough money to continue. In
1965 he received his Bachelor of Engineering degree from the Nova Scotia Technical
College in Halifax. He and Violet then returned to Corner Brook, where he worked
as an electrical engineer at the paper mill until he retired in 1991. Over the
years, along with spending time with his family, he especially cherished the
time he spent at his cottage on the Humber River. The river valley, where he
grew up, was always very special to him, and he often commented about what a
wonderful place it was to live. Friends may visit Fillatre's Funeral Home, 4
St. Mark's Avenue, Corner Brook on Tuesday from the hours of 2-4 & 7-9
PM. The funeral service will be held on Wednesday, September 7th at 2:00

Page 4 of the September 27, 2005 issue of The Western Star mistakenly
contained an obituary for Martha Nora Gale of Corner Brook who passed

Due to a technical complication, the obituary was picked up in production
of the newspaper and mistakenly rerun in The Western Star.
Management and staff of The Western Star sincerely apologize to all the
family members and many friends of the late Martha Nora Gale. It is indeed
an error for which we are deeply sorry.
