Obituary for Charles Edward "Eddie" Ferguson
It is with deep sadness that the family of Charles Edward “Eddie” Ferguson, 66, of Garden Lots, announces his passing on Friday, September 02, 2016 at home.
Born in Halifax, he was a son of the late Garnett and Jean Marie (Labrador) Wentzell.
Eddie began his working career with the fishing industry in his late teens and received his engineering papers by his early twenties. He spent a number of years with the Bedford Institute of Oceanography followed by the Coast Guard and retired from the Navy after more than ten years of service in 2014.
He was well known for his unique sense of humour and was respected as an extremely hard worker. Active in his community, he was a member of the Bridgewater Legion, Branch #24. He had travelled the world and was a self-proclaimed Judo expert. Eddie had a deep love of the sea but his boys and his grandchildren were his greatest love and he was very proud of all of their accomplishments.
Eddie is survived by his loving wife, Jackie; sons, Doug (Vicky), Conquerall Mills; Charlie (Susan), Bedford; Ross (Leanna), Michigan; daughter, Misty Thibault, Chester Basin; brother, Bill, Back Centre; step-daughters, Kim, Allison, Hayley; step-son, Michael; grandchildren, Connor, Carlee, Maya, Bailey, Alexis and Teagan; seven step-grandchildren and four great-step-grandchildren as well as several nieces and nephews.
Besides his parents, he is predeceased by his brother Bobby.
Funeral Arrangements are under the direction of the Dana L. Sweeny Funeral Home, 11213, Hwy. # 3, Lunenburg and from where visitation will be held Thursday from 7-9 p.m. with a funeral service Friday at 2:00 p.m., Rev. Victor Adams officiating. Interment will be at a later date. .
Flowers from the immediate family only. Memorial donations made to the Science Department of Dalhousie University would be appreciated.
