It is sad news to hear that a very special person to the Armour Corps, and the Canadian Forces as a whole, has passed away. We regret that we announce the passing of BGen EAC 'Ned' Amy, 2 Feb 2011.
====================================================
From John Boileau:
All,
I regret to inform you that BGen Ned Amy passed away late on Wed evening Feb 2 in Camp Hill Veterans' Wing of the Halifax Infirmary.
Son Mike from Ottawa will be arriving in Halifax Thur morning (weather permitting), while son Bob will be arriving from Hawaii either Thur evening or Fri morning, depending on connections.
Although Ned's wishes were that there be no military funeral, Mike and Bob will discuss further once both are here on the ground.
Arrangements will be handled by Cruikshank's Funeral Home, 2032 Robie St, Halifax (tel 902-423-7295), where visitation will occur, details to follow. IAW Ned's wishes he will be cremated and funeral held at Trinity United Church in Mahone Bay, date TBC.
I had a short visit with Ned on Tue morning about 10:00; he was lucid but fairly weak.
Please pass this email on to anyone who knew Ned but whom I may have missed.
Thank you.
