In Memory

 

James Herbert Hawley Williams

90, of Mahone Bay, passed away peacefully on January 27th, 2008, at the South Shore Regional Hospital in Bridgewater. Born in Holywell, North Wales, James was the son of the late Dr. Herbert Williams and Elizabeth (Hawley) Williams. He served for over 10 years with the Royal Hampshire Regiment in the British Army throughout WWII and attained the rank of Lieutenant Major. Following the war, he began a career in the brewing industry which took him all over Great Britain although he mostly called the Isle of Wight home. In 1973, James's wife, Cecilia (Mary) Charnley of Montreal, passed away and James emigrated to Canada with their two children Debbie and Stuart. They lived briefly in Montreal but then settled in London, Ontario. James spent the last five years of his life by the sea in Nova Scotia where he enjoyed his favourite hobby: gardening, and the occasional pint. James was also predeceased by his sister Jean. He is survived by his daughter Debbie Williams of Rothwell Northants UK and his son Stuart (Christina Lamey) of Hubbards, NS. He has three granddaughters: Nicola Whitley of Liverpool, NS; Erica Williams of Rothwell Northants UK and Madelyn Williams of Hubbards, NS. No Flowers by request and memorial donations may be made to the charity of choice. Online condolences may be made at www.sweenysfuneralhome.com. A memorial service and internment will be held at Quainton, Buckinghamshire, UK at a later date.
