Henry Delma "Del" Kendrick

1940 – February 19, 2025

It is with sadness that we announce the passing of Henry Delma "Del" Kendrick in his 85th year. Del resided at St. Lawrence Lodge in Brockville for over 12 years, enjoying a view of the St. Lawrence River.

Despite being confined to a wheelchair, Del never complained and was always a pleasure to visit. He was well cared for by the staff, and his family cherished the moments spent celebrating birthdays, Christmas, and Easter with him, overlooking the river and watching the ships pass by.

Born and raised in Shag Harbour, Del took great pride in his upbringing. He left home at 14 to complete his education in Kentville, living with his cousin Doris Trask and attending high school where his Uncle Doug was principal. He later graduated from Acadia University with a degree in Chemistry, leading to a career at Du Pont and Casco.

Del was an avid collector of coins, stamps, and antique glassware. His passions extended to cooking, playing cards, tennis, and gardening. His gardens were carefully designed with rocks he collected from Shag Harbour, Bon Portage, and Lake Huron.

He loved returning home to Shag Harbour in the spring and summer to visit family, golf, and explore the shoreline.

Del will be missed by his sister Priscilla (Sid) and Doug, brother David (Geraldine), and many nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his parents Henry and Edna (Shand), sister Peggy (Lloyd Brown), and infant sister Dawn Marie.

The family expresses their deep gratitude to Larry Shand and Pat Allport for their visits and support.

A private family gathering to celebrate Del’s life will take place in the fall.

Royden Donald William Addie

April 13, 1937 - November 2, 2024

It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Royden Donald William Addie, a beloved husband, father, grandfather, and friend, who left us on November 2, 2024, in Brockville, Ontario when his stubborn heart finally gave ‘into that good night’. Born on April 13, 1937, in Montreal, Quebec, Royden was a man of exceptional character—a true Scot who embodied kindness, strength, and unrelenting conviction.

In the 1950s and 60s, his athletic prowess was showcased as a Golden Glove boxer, and he even had a short stint playing for the CFL’s Montreal Alouettes, ironically going directly against his father’s ‘orders’. His passion for sports extended beyond his athletic career, and he dedicated many years as a head coach in football and hockey, nurturing young talent and instilling the values of teamwork and perseverance.

In 1993, Royden co-founded the Cumberland Panthers, a football club that has thrived in the Ottawa area under his guidance. He also served as President of the Tumblers Gymnastics Club, transforming it from a small recreational club into a high-level competitive academy, shaping the futures of many athletes.

Royden enjoyed a long and fulfilling career as an executive with Parks Canada, where he played a significant role in the division of the Northwest Territories, facilitating Nunavut as a homeland for the Inuit of Canada. All reflecting Royden’s commitment to social justice and community empowerment.

Royden is survived by his wife, Judy; his beloved sister, Sherrie; and his sons, Dereck (Sonia), Huntley (Kathy), Joshua (Jessica), Christopher (Crystal), and Justin (Courtney). He was a devoted father to his daughters, Ashley (Fred) and Lindsay (Andrew). His legacy continues through his grandchildren: Kaylee, Ryder, Jacob, Camryn, Chloë, Gunner, Hudson, Cooper, Jackson, Sadie, Colton, Grayson, Clark, Gwendolyn, Cora, and George. He is preceded in death by his grandson, Hunter, his parents, Gordon and Verna, and his beloved wife, Kathryn, who we know has welcomed him home with a waiting embrace.

An evening to pay tribute and celebrate Royden’s life will be held on Thursday, November 7, from 6 PM to 9 PM at the Royal Oak in Orleans (1981 St. Joseph Blvd.). In honour of Royden’s vibrant spirit and the many lives he touched, we invite all to join us for a drink in remembrance and celebration of his extraordinary life. Royden’s legacy of kindness, strength, and success will forever resonate in the hearts of those he loved and who loved him.

As expressions of sympathy, donations to the Heart and Stroke Foundation would be gratefully acknowledged. Send a message of condolence or share a special thought of Royden on the memory wall above.
