Obituary For David Edward Wilmshurst
David Edward Wilmshurst April 9, 1936 - September 10, 2022
Terribly sad to advise of the death of David (Dave) Wilmshurst, of Porter's Lake, on September 10, 2022. Dave had a long and wonderful career as a pharmacist at Woodlawn Pharmacy, later Lawton's Woodlawn. But his greatest “career” was as a very loving, caring, generous, husband, father, and grandfather. He lived so happily in Porter's Lake, a place that he loved, gardened, and spent so much time with his children and grandchildren, and their friends and families, until his sudden end. He loved seeing his grandson Zachary racing down the hill on his bike, his grandson Callum sailing out into the lake with (usually too many) friends on board, and his grand-daughter Taylor racing around the outside of the house while he timed her.
He is survived by his wife of 49 years, Jean McKenna, his daughter Margot (Wilmshurst) Hayre (Scott Hayre ) Sackville Nova Scotia, son Nicholas (Angela (Maclellan) Wilmshurst) Porter's Lake; his granddaughter Tayor Hayre (Sackville), grandsons Callum and Zachery Wilmshurst Porters Lake); brother Gerald (Bev) Wilmshurst, Dartmouth, brother in law Rob McKenna (Porter's Lake) sister in law Dr. Anne McKenna (Saskatoon); nieces and nephews Paula Wilmshurst, Chris Wilmshurst, Shawn Wilmshurst, Sarah Fraser and James Fraser and many beloved cousins,
He was pre-deceased by his father John (Jack) Wilmshurst and his mother, Min Wilmshurst of Dartmouth
Dave adamantly insisted on NO funeral; a small gathering will take place in Porter's Lake in the near future. He loved his many cats and dogs; any memorial donations should be made to Bide a While, Dartmouth Nova Scotia.
A reference that the family would particularly understand, our daggerboard has suddenly shattered, and we are all a bit adrift. Loved forever, missed forever.
Condolences
