McBurnie, Jack Lyman – Age 70, of Valley, passed away peacefully on May 16, 2021 with his wife and most precious son at his side, losing his 8 year battle with cancer.
Born in Truro, he was a son of the late Jack and Marjorie McBurnie.
Jack had been employed with Halliday Craftsman for 20 years and more recently for Kohltech Windows and Entrance Systems for 29 years. He was an avid sports fan always rooting for the Bruins, Celtics and Red Sox.
Surviving are his wife, Patricia Gail; son, James Edward; brother, Randy; sister, Carolann; friends too many to mention. He will surely be missed by all who had the privilege of knowing him.
Gratitude is extended to sister-in-law, Linda McMaster and all her family for all their kindness and readiness to help; to the Palliative Care Team in Colchester East Hants Health Centre, Truro and Chemo Unit in Halifax. Thanks to Joanne Greene; Bonnie Gail Burton, Debbie Whooten, Elaine Burton, Lisa and Tammy McMaster; great-niece Emma and great-nephew, Harley whom he loved dearly. Special thanks to Bob and Georgina Shaw for their prayers and kindness; also Kohltech staff for their support especially Janet Sutherland Tam.
Cremation has taken place under the direction of Arimathea Funeral Cooperative, Upper Musquodoboit.
No service by request. Burial will be in Bible Hill Cemetery.
Beyond all sorrow, grief and pain
When my time comes we’ll meet again.
Heaven gained a wonderful soul,
Rest in peace my darling.
