It is with heavy hearts we announce the passing of Herman 82, of Riverview, formerly of Oxford Junction, NS who left us to go to his heavenly home from the Villa Providence Nursing Home with his family by his side on Sunday, November 27, 2022. Born in Springhill, NS he was the son of the late Hilda Darragh and the late Herman Weirich Sr.
Herman’s love for his family was so immense. There was nothing he would not do for his girls.
He spent his entire career with CNR and VIA Rail until his early retirement due to health reasons. Even in retirement he kept busy helping keep the home front running as our late mother worked long and tireless hours from the home based accounting office. They complimented each other so beautifully. He was a member of the Highfield Baptist Church since 1964 and served on the deacon board and as treasurer for a number of years.
He is survived by his two daughters Wendy (Marc) and Tammy (Shawn), sister Winnie McCormick (Roger), grandchildren Daniel, Brent, Charlie, and Rebeca, and great grandson William. He was predeceased by his wife Carole, brother Ronnie Slack, and sister Linda Brown (Denton).
Herman’s family would like to thank the staff of O Bon Soin and Villa Providence for the wonderful care that he received while there.
The family will be receiving relatives and friends at Cobb’s Funeral Home and Cremation Center, 330 Whitepine Road, Riverview (869-2007) on Wednesday, November 30th from 6-8 pm. A funeral service will take place at Highfield United Baptist Church on Thursday, December 1, 2022 at 11am with Pastor Gary Barr officiating. The interment will take place in Mt. Pleasant Cemetery, Oxford, NS at a later date. Donations made to the Heart Foundation and the Cancer Society would be appreciated by his family.
