Charles "Buzzy" Darryl Nicholson

Charles Darrell “Buzzy” Nicholson 64, died Sunday November 20, 2016, at the Northwood Care Nursing Home following an extended illness. He leaves his wife of 35 years, Juliette (Dufour) Nicholson, his son Michael Nicholson, his sisters Barbara (Berlin, Germany), Kathy (St. Armand, Quebec) a brother Timothy (Halifax), half-sister Charlene (Sydney), may nieces, nephews and great nieces and nephews, as well as extended Dufour family and friends.

Born and raised in Halifax, the son of Charles and Barbara (Shrum) Nicholson, he was a lifelong resident of Kearney Lake – the perfect setting for a nature enthusiast. Buzzy had a passion of hunting and fishing and was most at home roaming the woods or spending weeks on end in his self-built camp. He was a keen marksman, an avid hunter and the proud collector of many impressive taxidermy trophies.

Buzzy spent his early working years on the oilrigs and was later employed by Nova Scotia School Board. He retired early due to ill health and spent his last few good years devoting himself to his hobbies of hunting and fishing.

He passed away peacefully surrounded by his closest members of his family. A small celebration of life service will be held on Sunday, November 27th from 2:00 – 4:00pm at the penthouse suite at Northwood Center, 2615 Northwood Terrace, Halifax. Juliette would like to thank the staff on 3 center and especially Kim and Robert, Buzzy’s singing server (out on the Myra).
