Obituary of William Benjamin Bambury

Bambury, William Benjamin (Ben) Born November 4th, 1929 Pool’s Cove Newfoundland passed away on May 5th, 2012 while on a weekend trip with his family; he was 82 years young. It was a beautiful sunny day by the lake where he was having a great time surrounded by loved ones. Ben had a great love of life and while it’s very difficult for those left behind there is a great sense of peace that he passed surrounded by love and in such a beautiful place. Welcoming him with open arms will be his parents; Job & Margaret, his brother Horatio & sister Margaret (Strong) and many other family & friends. Ben left behind many loved ones including; his wife Gwenn & their children Lynda (Steve Cunningham), Brian (Diane), Kelly (Mark Houston) & Peter (Wanda) of Nova Scotia; Grandchildren: Kyle, Sara, Katie, Kory, Caleb, Cameron, and adoptive granddaughter Angelle. Ben will also be sorely missed by his brother Eldred Bambury (Rose) of Newfoundland and many other friends & family far and wide. Ben’s family would like to especially send love and thanks to all the people associated with the Grove Nursing Home in Arnprior, where he resided the last several years. “Crazy Legs” always raved about the people there! The job you do and the way you do it is incredible and so important! Ben was a stubborn Newfoundlander who had Parkinson’s in the second half of his life and while it slowed him down (at times) it never stopped him! Donations to the Parkinson’s Society of Canada would be preferred (in lieu of flowers) by Ben & his family. A celebration of Ben’s life will be held at the Arnprior Legion, 49 Daniel Street, Arnprior, Ontario on Saturday June 9, 2012. Visiting from 2-6 p.m. with ceremony commencing around 3:00 p.m. Please visit www.legacy.com /memorial website under Ben Bambury; also a facebook page for further details and to share with his family. LOVE YOU DAD!!! Arrangements by the Boyce Funeral Home 138 Daniel Street N. Arnprior, Ontario
