Obituary of Ivan Jack Newrick

It is with heavy hearts that we share the passing of Ivan Jack Newrick peacefully from Wedgewood Manor on Monday, September 16, 2024.

Born in Cape Traverse on May 3, 1935. Son of the late Jessie (Heffell) and Jack L. Newrick. Ivan was a long-time resident of Borden-Carleton. At fifteen years of age he began working at the Fina Service Station, biking from Cape Traverse to Borden every day. He worked all his life as a mechanic, eventually taking ownership of the service station himself. He spent many years working long, hard hours in all kinds of weather. He was a member of the Borden Fire Department. Following retirement at the age of sixty-five, he attended the Borden, Cape Traverse, and Bedeque United Churches.

He will be missed and lovingly remembered by his wife, June (nee Sherren).
