It is with great sadness that I announce the passing of my beloved husband Stephen Lester Hennigar, 61, of Brennan's Road, Prospect Bay. Stephen passed away on July 2nd at his home, surrounded by family and friends. Born in Halifax, Stephen was the son of Margaret (nee Duggan) and the late Frank Hennigar. Stephen is survived by his mother Margaret; his wife Sandra (Crouse) of 35 years; sons Jason (Patricia) and Jonathan; brother Murray (Sharyn); sister Anne Marie (John) Spears; three step-grandchildren Ashley (Leblanc), Clay (Leblanc) and Josh (Leblanc); mother-in-law Helena (Crouse); brother-in-law Terry Crouse and wife Barb; nieces Laura, Jennifer and Brittany; several aunts, uncles and many cousins. He is predeceased by his father, Frank Lester Hennigar and his father-in-law, John Crouse.
Stephen lived most of his life on Brennan's Road. He had many friends and will be missed by all. He touched each of their lives in his own way. It was impossible to go anywhere without someone knowing him. Stephen retired early in 1992 from Maritime Tel & Tel because of health reasons. He worked for a short time at the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 153 in White's Lake.
Stephen was an avid outdoors man who enjoyed communing with nature, reading animal signs and just sitting and thinking. His calendar revolved around two seasons-hunting and fishing. He was never discouraged if he caught nothing because he enjoyed being in the woods, watching the birds and animals or the stars at night.
A huge thank you to the Palliative Care Team and VON for their care and support to Stephen and to our many family & friends who called, visited and assisted in keeping Stephen comfortable in his last few days. I know he was touched by the kindness and outpouring of love.
A Celebration of Life will be held in his honor on Friday July 10th at 4 pm at the Royal Canadian Legion, Branch 153 at 3495 Prospect Road, White's Lake. Donations in remembrance can be made to The Canadian Wildlife Federation, the Canadian Cancer Society or a charity of choice.
