David Allan Gooding
1940-2016
Gooding, David Allan - It is with deep sadness that we announce the
passing of my dear brother David Allan Gooding on January 26th, 2016
at the Saint John Regional Hospital. David was born March 22, 1940 in
Saint John, NB, son of the late Fred and Mary (Hughes) Gooding. He is
survived by his sister Myra MacEachern and brother in law Donnie Sr.
of Antigonish NS. David is also survived by Nephews: Donnie Jr.
MacEachern of Antigonish NS and David (Ellen) MacEachern of Calgary;
Nieces: Anne MacEachern of Atascadero California and Mary MacEachern
of Pictou NS, as well as several great nieces and nephews. David had
worked for the CN Railway. He always loved to come to Antigonish at
Christmas and his great joy was to wear his kilt and attend the
Antigonish Highland Games. The Family would like to extend their
special thanks to Marie Robichaud and her staff at Victoria House,
Saint John NB where David lived for a long time. We would also like to
extend a very special thank you to the nurses and staff at the Saint
John Regional Hospital 5C South for their exemplary care and
compassion during David’s month of illness there. Dr. Vaughan
Smith was David’s family doctor and he attended to him for many
years in the most compassionate and understanding care of
David’s whole being. Thank you and God Bless you.
“Do small things with great love.”
To honour David’s request there will be no visitation. A Mass
of Christian Burial will be celebrated on Friday, January 29, 2016
from the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception at 10:00 am.
Arrangements are under the care and direction of Fitzpatrick’s
Funeral Home, 100 Waterloo Street (634-1965). Remembrances can be made
to the charity of the donor’s choice and may be made online at
