Obituary of Alfie Hargreaves

It is with heavy hearts that the family of Alfie Hargreaves announce his passing, which occurred on July 10, 2019 at the age of 81.

Alfie was born in Bagdad, NB on August 8, 1937 and was the son of the late James and Joyce (Smith) Hargreaves.

Alfie was an avid outdoorsman; he loved to spend his time fishing and hunting. He was known for his shooting, not just during hunting season but every time something didn’t work just the right way – Alfie would say, “I’m gonna shoot it”.

He was always the kind of man you would want around when it came to something broken, he could fix anything with a little spit and haywire. He was a hard worker and spent a great part of his years, working as a sawyer in the sawmill.

Alfie had a kind heart and would do anything for anyone. His kindness and wonderful friendship will be deeply missed.

He is survived by his loving wife, Lynda; his sons: Terry Hargreaves and his wife Debbie of Youngs Cove, Wade Hargreaves and Colleen Brown of Fredericton, Shaun Hargreaves and Candice Boyd of Salmon Creek and Barry Hargreaves; his daughters: Darlene Hargreaves and
Jamie Gallant of Dieppe and Lisa Hargreaves and Trevor Dodds of Omemee, Ontario; his sisters: Barbara Creighton and her husband Bill of Red Deer and Debbie Atkinson and Rick of Rusagonis; 15 grandchildren: Shaine Hargreaves, Allisha Newell and her husband Jesse, Aaron Hargreaves, Jessica Woods and her husband Tim, Christopher Hargreaves and his wife Katie, Jarett Jarvis and his wife Leslie, Josh Jarvis and his wife Michelle, Joel Jarvis, Janell Foster and her husband Alex, Jackie Whipple and Dallas Kane, Jason Whipple and Nicole, Nicholas Ryder and his wife Nicole, Tyler Yeomans and Ashton, Ashley Yeomans and Corey Hargreaves; 15 great grandchildren: Celina, Kendra, Ella, Eli, Colin, Ella, Olivia, Jaice, Jonas, Jace, Aria, Sawyer, Jared, Chantal, Jayden, Nixon and Natalia; as well as several nieces and nephews.
