Parsons, Malcolm Campbell of Troy, Inverness Co. It is with heavy hearts that we, the family of Malcolm Campbell Parsons, age 84; of Bethel Drive, Troy announce his passing on Friday, September 28, 2018 in the Port Hawkesbury Nursing Home with this loving family by his side. Born in Saint John, New Brunswick, he was a son of the late George and Margaret (Simpson) Parsons. On December 31, 1957, he married the love of his life, Viola Adelia (Thompson). Dad was a jack-of-all-trades. He could and would fix just about anything. He became a Master Watchmaker while living in Saint John then owned his own business and worked for G.B. Murphy's Limited while living in Glen Margaret. He later moved to Saint Ninian, Cape Breton where he farmed until moving back to Saint John and Darlings Island, N.B. where he learned the trade of Goldsmithing. He operated his own jewellery and watch repair business in Market Square, Saint John, N.B. Later he returned to Cape Breton where he built his last home at the age of 70 at Bethel Drive. Malcolm is survived by his beloved wife of 60 years, Viola, and their three children, Stephen (Shirley), Darlene (Joseph) Gillis and Travis (Malinda) and their grandchildren, Nicole Parsons (Tim Gallery), Scott, James and Brennan Gillis, and Alexandra, Laura and Kathleen Parsons, and their great-granddaughter, Riley Gallery. He is also survived by daughters, Jocelyn, Terry and Joanne, and their children and grandchildren, and those of his late son, Lloyd Parsons. He is also predeceased by his brothers, George Parsons, Bill Gordon and John Gordon (in childhood) and sisters, Marion VanBuskirk and Mary Lawton. We would like to give a very special thanks to the amazing staff of the Port Hawkesbury Nursing Home whom gave dad such loving care during his time there.
