January 25, 1922 - August 8, 2016
It is with devastating sadness and total heartbreak that our family announces the passing of Wilfred Donald Nye, aged 94, in Montreal, Canada on August 8, 2016. He was surrounded by his loving family at home. Wil will always be deeply loved, cherished and remembered by his loving wife of 63 years, Esther Kalan Nye. His children, Kathryn Nye and Cheryl Nye will always remember their dad as their hero, protector and the most loved, kindest and cherished dad in the whole world. Sadly missed by his brother-in-law John Kalan and family. Wilfred also leaves behind his many cousins and relatives. He has now reunited with his mother, Hilda Malone, his dad, Harold Gilbert Nye, his brother Harold Gilbert (Sonny) Nye, his two grandmas, Annie Gavaghan Malone and Helena Ward Nye, his Aunt Ethel Nye and his loving mother-in-law and father-in-law, Mary and Joseph Kalan who adored Wil. Wilfred proudly served his country during World War II in the Royal Canadian Navy. He served aboard the minesweeper HMCS Vegreville in the North Atlantic. His total love and devotion to his family was paramount in his life. He loved life to the fullest and was always so proud of his family, as we were of him. We loved him more than life, itself. Heaven's gates have now welcomed a beautiful and kind spirit. Viewing will be held at the:
