ENGLAND, Albert A. "Teddy" - It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our husband, father, brother, and grampy on April 11, 2009, in Dartmouth General Hospital. Born in Steep Creek, Guysborough Co., on June 22, 1936, he was a son of the late Howard and Jessie (Cummings) England. A stationary engineer by trade, he began his working years at Acadia Fisheries in Mulgrave. Over the years he also worked in the construction industry. Following an industrial accident in 1980, Dad was left disabled by severe injuries to his lungs. He faced his on-going health issues with strength, courage and determination. Dad enjoyed playing cards, watching wrestling, walking, catching up on the news with family and friends and weekend calls from Sandy. He loved looking at new cars and was so happy when he bought a new one only three weeks ago. He is survived by his wife of 49 years, Helen (Clancy); sons, Sandy (Kathleen), Calgary, Alta.; Howard; and daughter, Wendy (Craig) Michaud, both of Bedford; cherished granddaughters, Paige "Boo-Boo" and Lauren "Lulu". They provided Dad with his happiest moments and always made their Grampy proud. Dad is also survived by brothers, Howard, Mulgrave; Earl, Port Hastings; Preston, Steep Creek; Edward, Melford; Ralph, Mulgrave; and Sandy, Steep Creek; sisters, Geraldine Parks, Steep Creek; Lorna Josey, Halifax; and Calestine, Steep Creek. In addition to his parents, Dad was predeceased by his sister, Rena Boyle. Visitation will take place on Thursday, April 16 from 2-4 and 7-9 p.m. in Mulgrave and Area Resting Place. The funeral service will be held on Friday, April 17, at 11 a.m. in St. Andrews Anglican Church, Mulgrave, with Rev. Susan Best officiating. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to St. James Anglican Church, St. Andrew's Anglican Church or Mulgrave and Area Resting Place. Cremation has taken place and burial will be in the old St. James Cemetery in Melford. The funeral is under the direction of Dennis Haverstock Funeral Home in Port Hawkesbury. The family would like to thank Dr. Elena Swift for her exceptional care and efforts on Dad's behalf. We would also like to thank the hard working doctors and nurses of the Emergency Department and 3 East at Dartmouth General Hospital, especially Dr. MacLennan, Dr. Alzrighe, and nurses Jane and Maureen.
