Tom Willdey, LCDR, CD, RCN (Ret’d), a long-time resident of the Rockingham area passed away suddenly and unexpectedly this past Saturday. He was active in our community, and a great parishioner at St. Benedict Parish, and Our Lady of Perpetual Help. Very community, Tom also served as past president of both Maskwa Aquatic Club and Rockingham Heritage Society. He was a dedicated volunteer at the Ronald MacDonald House, which was a charity close to his heart. He was also a member of the Knights of Columbus Council 5449. Tom was a man who firmly believed “ask not what you can do for me, but what I can do for you.”
His sudden passing is especially, hard on his loving wife of 43 years, Juliana Belle Willdey (Turnbull), and he will be deeply missed by his children, Karla (David), Katherine (John), and Brian (Stephanie).
Visitations are 2-4pm, 6-8pm Wednesday, February 23 at J.A. Snow Funeral Home, 339 Lacewood Drive.
The Mass of Christian Burial will be held at 10:30am Thursday, Feb. 24 in Saint Benedict Parish, 45 Radcliffe Drive.
Donations in Tom’s memory can be made to the Ronald MacDonald House, 1133 Tower Road, Halifax or a charity of your choice.
