Obituary of Donald Beverly Bickford

 

It is with heavy hearts the family of Donald Beverly Bickford, loving husband to Flora, announce his passing on Friday, March 6, 2020, at the Church of St. John and St. Stephen Nursing Home. Born in Norton on January 15, 1932, he was a son of the late Richie and Mary (Pollock) Bickford.

 

Don worked at various jobs, eventually retiring from the District 8 School board in the maintenance department. He loved hockey and was an avid Chicago Black Hawks and Saint John Sea Dogs fan. He enjoyed gardening and bowling, but his true passion was in harness racing having been an owner and driver at the Saint John Exhibition Park Raceway.

 

Don is survived by his wife Flora; sister, Barbara Thurrott (the late Lee) of Riverview; brothers, Lawrence (Betty) of Manitoba, Murray (Clara) of Quispamsis and George of Sussex; step-daughters, Faye Clark (the late Peter) of Kingston Peninsula, Brenda (Bill) and Gail both of Saint John; step-sons, Bruce of Saint John, Gary (Lynda) of Quispamsis and Ralph (Joanne) of Moncton; as well as many nieces and nephews. In addition to his parents, Don was predeceased by his first wife, Lois (Lefurgey); sisters, Elsie, Dorothy, Blanche, and Mildred; brothers, Harry, Gordon, and Ralph.
