Obituary of Henry "Hank" Timmons

Hank was born in Inverness, on April 15, 1933 to Henry and Elizabeth (Clark) Timmons. As a young man, Hank left Inverness to work in Ontario for a number of years and where he also married his wife, Audrey Taylor. Love of home brought them back to Inverness, where Hank worked for Ocean Paving for a number of years and then for Nova Scotia Forest Industries in Port Hawkesbury for the next 33 years. As an avid lover of sports, Hank played baseball for the Inverness Ravens, senior hockey and coached minor hockey. A soft-spoken, kind man always there to lend a helping hand when needed. Hank leaves to mourn Audrey, his wife of 62 years; son, Hank (Lisa) of Inverness; brothers, James "Buddy" (late Molly), of Inverness; Alfred (late Valerie), of Barrie, Ontario; Wilson (Pearl), of West Bay;Douglas (Florence), of Port Hawkesbury; Harvey (Anna), of New Glasgow; sisters, Betty (late Tony) Tonelli, of Milton, Ontario; Joyce (Mack) MacPhee, of Margaree; Donelda (late Lauchie) MacEachern, of Port Hood; and Doreen (late Phil) Scott, of Barrie, Ontario; as well as several nieces and nephews. Hank was predeceased by brothers, Donnie at birth, Andrew (Doreen) (of Inverness), Albert (Alice) (of PEI), Jackie (of Inverness), Edgar (Marilyn) (of Ontario); and sister Wilma (Bill) Cameron (of Margaree Forks).
