Whitney Pier, NS
August 27, 1953 – July 16, 2024
It is with hearts that will never be the same; we, the family, announce the passing of Teddy Hollohan.
Teddy was born in Sydney to the late Paul Francis and Evelyn Mary (Laughlin) Hollohan.
Teddy was raised in Whitney Pier with a family of nine siblings. Growing up in a large family had its good and bad times but each of us, including Teddy, would attest to the fact that we wouldn’t change a thing. The love, the laughter and joy we shared is immeasurable and we will carry it forever.
At a very young age Teddy went to work with his uncle, Billy Laughlin at Billy’s bakery. Little did he know this would be the start of a lifetime career. Teddy later went on to work at Bernie’s Bakery for most of his life, and then worked for the late Jodie MacIsaac at Jack Rudy’s from whence he retired.
Teddy had an extraordinary imagination and was very creative. There wasn’t a project or a task that he would shy away from. He would get an idea in his head, and he would not quit until he accomplished what he set out to do. If there was a gadget that struck his eye, he had to have it or make it. He could turn an everyday object into a unique functioning tool at the drop of a hat.
Aside from being an accomplished baker and handy man, Teddy had a tremendous sense of humor, wrote poetry, and was a great storyteller. He could make your sides hurt from laughing at his many jokes and stories. Many of these stories included his best friend in the whole world, Wayne Brewer. Wayne was his partner in crime for their many antics and escapades over the years and was a loyal friend until the end.
Teddy met the love of his life, Sandra Margettie and they were together for over 30 years. They made wonderful long-lasting memories, many of which involved their grandchildren, nieces and nephews. Children loved Teddy; he was so good with them. They brought out the inner child in him and he couldn’t wait to entertain them and put a smile on their face. Teddy was loved and treasured by all who knew him.
Teddy is survived by his loving partner, Sandra Margettie; four brothers, Holly, Joe, Jay (Valerie), and Danny (Heather); five sisters, Debbie, Patty (Wayne Morrison), Doddy (Bobby Keel), Lalie, and Karen; Sandra’s siblings, Phyllis, Carol (Joe Lewis), Deborah (Mike Snow), Peggy, Louis (Linda), Robert (Lolita), and Darren; Sandra’s dad, Stan (Marie); numerous nieces and nephews, and his best friend, Wayne Brewer. Teddy is also survived by his two sons, Jason and Aaron and stepsons, Vernon and Jason.
Besides his parents, Teddy was predeceased by Sandra’s mother, Dot; sister-in-law, Margie, and brother-in-law, Stan Gouthro.
The Hollohan and Margettie families have lost a branch from their tree that will be forever missed. We know in our hearts that Ma and Da were waiting in heaven for you, so may you rest in peace feeling the tremendous love we have for you. God Bless.
A Celebration of Life will be held at the Pier Community Funeral Home, 1092 Victoria Road (entrance on Church Street) Whitney Pier from 3 to 5 p.m. on Saturday, July 20, 2024, where family and friends can gather for a reception.
Donations in memory of Teddy may be made to a charity of one’s choice.
