It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Alfred Gustave Pettipas, originally from Reserve Mines, Cape Breton, at the age of 91.
Alfred passed away on November 8, 2024 at the Sutherland Harris Memorial Veterans Unit, Pictou, Nova Scotia. He was surrounded by his family.
Alfred lived most of his life in Cape Breton where he was owner/operator of a service station. He then worked for Nova Scotia Power. He was involved in the community where he was a Life Member of Kinsmen and volunteered as an RCMP Auxiliary Officer. Alfred was an active member of the ATV club and enjoyed hunting and fishing.
In 2012, Alfred and Lillian moved to Pictou County, Nova Scotia to be closer to their children.
Alfred was a son of Oscar and Bertha (LeCointe) Pettipas.
He is survived by his wife of 72 years, Lillian (Martell); his daughters: Pamela (David Smiley) and Nancy (Mark Gibson); grandchildren: Allison (Scott Ormrod), Shannon, Rob (Nicolette), Jon (Dawn Kendall); great-granddaughter, Willow; daughter-in-law, Sally; as well as numerous family members, mainly in the areas of Moncton and Cape Breton.
Alfred was predeceased by his son, Keith; sister, Estelle; brother, Gus; and nephew, Gus Jr.
The family would like to thank the Doctors and all the staff of the Veterans Memorial Unit for their care and kindness.
As per his request, there will be no service. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to either the Alzheimer’s Society of Canada or the Canadian Cancer Society.
