Judson Q. SMALL

SMALL, Q. JUDSON (JUDDY) - "Hailed out" for the last time, Friday, February 25, 2005 at the Grand Manan Hospital and sailed into the home port of heaven. He lost his battle with cancer which he so bravely fought for 15 months. Born October 12, 1940 at Wilson's Beach, Campobello to Carl and Nancy (Mitchell) Small. He resided at White Head Island where he pursued his love of fishing until he took ill, working first with his dad, then his uncle where they operated a fish plant (F. & J. Small Ltd.), a weir fisherman, scalloper, lobster man and finally owner of the "Lady Jenna" with son Jamie. One of his proudest moments! Survived by his devoted wife of forty-one years, best friend and nurse Karen (Urquhart), two sons, Jamie (Margaret), Ralston (Natalie), one daughter Julie (David) Duncan, eight grandchildren, Jenna, Micah, Amy, Emma, and Hannah Small, Kyle, Allyson, and Evan Duncan. One very special foster grandson Jake. One brother Ellis (Thelma) Small, second mom Mary Urquhart, numerous nieces and nephews, and a vast circle of loving friends. The family will be receiving friends and relatives at the White Head Baptist Church on Sunday from 2-4 and 7-9 PM, from where the funeral will be held on Monday, February 28th, at 2: 15 PM with Pastor Jim Appleby officiating, interment to follow in the White Head Community Cemetery. A reception will follow at the family home, not to mourn Juddy's death but to remember a life well lived and a man well loved. It was Juddy's wish that any remembrances be made to the Charlotte County Cancer Society, or the Hampton Bible Camp where he enjoyed great fun and fellowship with friends. Funeral arrangements in care of ELLS FUNERAL HOME, 1199 Route #776, Grand Manan, N.B. E5G 1G2. (506-662-3116 or www.ells.ca )
