MacINTYRE – Norman Elwell “Cork”, 83, of Labelle, Queens County, passed away peacefully in Queens General Hospital, Liverpool on Tuesday, November 17, 2015 with family by his side.
Born in Blackville, NB, he was a son of the late George Duncan and Sydney (Wood) MacIntyre.
“Cork” attended Blackville Junior High school until the age of 14 when his father died and went to work in the lumber camps as a cook, teamster, cutting pulp wood, working on trucks, painting bridges, picking potatoes and laying steel for the railway. In 1949, at the age of 17 and a half, Cork joined the Royal Canadian Navy. He served on HMCS Iroquois during the Korean Conflict and saw action when the ship was hit by artillery fire. Cork served on various ships during his career, such as HMCS Ontario, HMCS Portage, HMCS Penetang, HMCS Outremont, HMCS LaHulloise, HMCS Provider, HMCS Fraser, HMCS Annapolis, and HMCS Yukon. After 25 years at sea, Cork retired in 1975 and began another 20 year career with Canada Post. After his second retirement, he spent time in Florida where he trapped wild pigs and enjoyed hunting and fishing. He and Shirley returned to Nova Scotia and settled in Labelle where he worked for various families doing general maintenance and yard work. In keeping with his naval career, his son Terry served with the Royal Canadian Navy for 20 years and his son Jerry is currently serving his 37th year with the Canadian Coast Guard. Cork became his daughter Cheryl’s own personal fishing guide, showing her all the best places to cast a line.
He is survived by his wife of 63 years Shirley (Gallant); his daughter Cheryl Gillam (Tommy Singer) of Shubenacadie; his sons Terry (Cheryl) of Nine Mile River; Jerry (Margaret) of Lake Echo. Grandchildren Shawn (Tina), Lee-Anne (Jeff), Mandee (Scott), Troy, Jennie (Alex), Jaime, Stephanie (Darrell), Michelle; great grandchildren Trent, Sawyer, Sarah, Mason, Lily, Brianna, Tristin, Jon and Regan. His sister Elizabeth “Betty” Conners of Ottawa and many nieces and nephews.
He was predeceased by his brothers George and Tom.
Cremation has taken place under the direction of Chandlers’ Funeral Home, Liverpool. Funeral service will be Saturday, November 21, 2015 at 11:00 a.m. in Greenfield United Baptist Church. Pastor Tom Davidson and Pastor Wade Harvey officiating. Reception to follow. No flowers by request, donations may be made to the Greenfield United Baptist Church or the Canadian Cancer Society.

    Always on our minds, forever in our hearts. Pop (my grandfather) was an awesome man. He always knew just the right thing to say in any crisis to make you feel better. I’m lucky to have spent the time with him, and am forever grateful to have had him in my life. I’m sure he’s eating fried bologna and potatoes wherever he is, as that was his favorite meal! May you forever rest in peace. Love you to the moon and back. XoXo
    Love your granddaughter Stephanie & husband Darald
    Great grandchildren Briana, Tristyn, Jon & Regan

    Our sincere condolences to Shirley and the MacIntyre Family. We enjoyed visiting with Norm and Shirley when we were at our cottage, listening to the many stories that Norm had to tell. I also worked with Norm at Canada Post and have many great memories of him, over the past thirty or so years. I know he will be sadly missed by all of his family members and friends.
    Rest in Peace Norm!

    Shirley, please accept our sincerest sympathy at this time of sorrow. Norm has been a wonderful friend the past several years. I have told many people that Norm forgot more about trout fishing than they will ever know. His good humour and friendly disposition will be missed by many.

    So sorry to hear the news of Corks passing. We were neighbors for many years on Devon Crescent and my Mom and Dad often spoke of you after we moved to New Glasgow. Some of my most pleasant memories are of our days on that street growing up with your family. I trust life has been good to you all.
