Clark, Currie Dean – Age 68, of Nine Mile River, passed away on Wednesday, October 21, 2015.

He is also survived by his daughter, Katherine VanderKooi (Derek), Nine Mile River; son, Russell, Elmsdale; brother, Ronald, Truro, and sisters, Donalda MacDonald, Dartmouth and Ethel Beach (Randall), Goremanville.

Currie was a machine operator working construction most of his life. He built numerous roads, and dug many basements, wells and sewers throughout Hants County. Currie will always be remembered for his teasing, his large laugh and big wave.
