After a lengthy illness, the death of Roy Alvin Waite, age 73 , of Jemseg, NB, occurred at the Oromocto Public Hospital, Oromocto, NB, on February 7, 2012. He was born on April 10, 1938, in Tyne Valley, PEI, the son of the late Alvin and Dorothy (Strongman) Waite. Roy owned and operated his own garage in the early 1970’s, specializing in tractor trailers. Those who knew him well will remember the Waite Liner tractor trailer he built himself during that time. In 1982 he semi-retired, moving permanently to Salmon Creek, and began farming in 1984. He re- located to Jemseg in 2000, where he continued working with tractor trailers in his garage there. In his younger years he was an avid stock car racer. Over the years he also enjoyed snowmobiling, motorcycling, hunting and fishing. Roy had a tremendous love for animals of all kinds, and was rarely seen without his dog far behind. He will be sadly missed by many. Roy is survived by daughter Tammie Waite of Wolfville, NS; son Dale and Lana Waite of Belleisle Creek, NB; grandchildren Jacob, Lauren and Luke McNutt, Caleb and Cassie Waite; brother Lloyd of Hampton and Harry of Fredericton; sister Pauline Hutchinson of Bathurst; several nieces and nephews.
