Melanson;

There are no words to describe our sorrow announcing Alex’s sudden passing at home on Dec. 9, 2013. He was born in Liverpool on Dec 24, 1956, a gift to his family that brought a selfless love to us all. His working life as a Mill Wright was spent at Calgary Power, National Sea Products, Shelburne Marine, Canexel  and finally retiring from Bowater Mersey. Alex’s greatest joys were his children and grandsons who brought so much love to his life. His time spent at the cabin paddling Fisher Lake  with Joy will be cherished memories. Alex had a wicked sense of humor that will be missed by many who may have had the pleasure of being pranked by him; he loved every minute of it. He was a hard worker and took great pleasure in working with wood; using his portable sawmill he sawed all the lumber to build our beautiful home on the banks of the Medway River where he enjoyed 13 wonderful years. He was predeceased by his parents Roger and Estelle Melanson; who he cared for with great love and loyalty. He leaves behind his wife; Joy (Dobson) who was his best friend for 35 years. His beautiful daughters Jennifer and Lindsay; who he loved deeply and took care of in every way he could. His little buddies Riley and Ayden; his cherished grandsons to whom he was the “best Papa in the world”. His sisters; Gayle (Doncaster) and Anne (Murphy) and their families and his brother; Bob and his family. As Alex wished; there will be no funeral or visitation. Memorial donations may be made to the Mill Village Community Cemetery, C/0 Mike Lockwood, Mill Village, N.S. B0J 2H0. Online condolences to the family may be made at www.chandlersfuneral.com
