Obituary for Christopher Scott Zinck

Christopher  Scott  Zinck
It is with deep and profound sadness that we the family of Christopher Scott Zinck, 59 of Ste. Croix, announce his sudden passing on Saturday, January 21, 2017, off the coast of Port Aux Basques, NF. and may his spirit be free as the wind.

Born in Halifax on February 20, 1957, Chris was the son of Rev. Robert and Beatrice (Zwicker) Zinck of Bridgewater.

Chris received his earlier education in Harris Tessier High School and then went on to join the Royal Canadian Navy, serving a few years at sea. Chris loved his work and the people he worked for and was employed over the years with Bonny Lea Farms, Chester, the Windsor Elms, Cobham Tracking and Locating, Windsor, as property manager for CitiGroup, Halifax and most recently as a trucker for various companies.

He enjoyed the simple pleasures of life, sailing in earlier years on the waters of Indian Point, tending to his gardens, having the never ending ability to fix anything, enjoying many happy hours travelling or at home with Monnie and walks with his two beloved dogs, Dixie and Blue.

Chris enjoyed everything about the outdoors and may we all be comforted in the hope that his spirit is now at peace in the beauty of God’s creation.

Chris is survived by his parents, Robert and Beatrice Zinck of Bridgewater; his loving wife, Monica; step-daughter, Denica Black (James Oliver) of Halifax; sister, Debbie (Rod MacDonald) Calgary; brothers, Mike (John Demmings) Lunenburg; Greg (Florence), David (Margarette) both of Calgary; nieces, Tahara, Halifax, Cheryse, Tasha, Keri, Jodi and Kyli, all of Calgary and several aunts, uncles and cousins; sisters-in law, Jilda (John) Hinton, Yarmouth; Eunice (Don) LeBlanc, Saint John, NB; brother -in- law, Peter (Lynne) Black, Shelburne.

He was predeceased by his grandparents, Ralph and Elva Zwicker, Frank and Thurza Zinck and his younger sister, Linda.

Due to the pending inclement weather, the service of celebration for Chris will be held Saturday at 2:00 p.m. at Bridgewater United Church, 87 Hillcrest St., Bridgewater and not Friday at 2:00 p.m. as previously announced.

In lieu of flowers memorial donations in Chris’s memory may be made to SHAID Tree Animal Shelter, Ste. Croix United Church, Ste. Croix or Bridgewater United Church.

Funeral Arrangements are under the direction of the Dana L. Sweeny Funeral Home, 11213 Hwy. # 3, Lunenburg.

I must go down to the seas again, to the lonely sea and the sky.
To the gull’s way and the whale’s way, where the wind’s like a whetted knife;
And all I ask is a merry yarn from a laughing fellow-rover,
And a quiet sleep and a sweet dream when the long trick’s over.

(John Masefield)
