Obituary of John Lynne Carey

On December 20th 2015 John Lynne Carey passed away peacefully at the VG after a short fight with cancer. Lynne was the son of John and Millicent (Millie) Carey; both of whom have predeceased him. He is survived by his son Shannon Troy, his sister Lea, and his nephew Evan Scott. Born and raised in Winnipeg, Manitoba Lynne moved with his son Shannon, to Halifax to join his parents and sister. He worked in Halifax for several years and retired from St. Mary’s University where he had worked as an ITT tech. He often referred to himself as a grumpy old man, but he was far from that. He was a good son, brother and above all, father and loyal to those he called friend.
