Wade H. Tarbox
1947-2021
Raised in Martins Point, former employee of Farmers Dairy, Moosehead Breweries and finally retired from Halifax Regional Municipality.
He had many hobbies such as wood turning, fishing, and gardening. He enjoyed an annual fishing trip to Mooseland and the Nova Scotia Salmon Association dinners. There was not a yard sale that he would pass by, he could always find a treasure to pass along to the many people who meant so much to him. Wade would drop everything to help family and friends. He made an impression on everyone in his path, helping so many people along the way. He was a dedicated family man, spending 40 years with the love of his life Shirley. They enjoyed travelling and going for drives around the province. He especially loved spending time with his grandson Zachary and grand dog Scooby. He was very proud of his two boys. Trips to Tim Horton’s in Chester and Mahone Bay and feeding the ducks became a weekly tradition with him and his boys.
Wade was predeceased by his wife, Shirley; father, Frank; brother, Oran.
Survived by his mother, Marion; son, Christopher (Tracy); grandson, Zachary; brothers, Brian (Janet), Gary; sister, Karry Lynn (Travis); nephew, Craig (Haley); nieces, Josie and Karley.
Funeral services will be scheduled at a later date, arrangements will be communicated through Mahone Funeral Home.
No flowers by family request. Donations can be made in Wade’s honor to two places close to his heart, the Canadian Cancer Society and the IWK Health Centre Foundation.
Wade’s family would like to thank the staff of South Shore Regional Hospital for the care they provided to Wade during his stay.
