NEVE, Edward 'Ted' Albert

It is with great sadness that the family
announces the death of Edward 'Ted' Albert Neve on October 4, 2019 in
Guelph, with his daughters and granddaughters by his side.

Ted was born on May 28, 1922 in Shawinigan, Quebec into a family of 4
brothers and 6 sisters and nicknamed Sonny, a name he would be called by
his siblings his whole life. Ted left Shawinigan in 1940 to join the Royal
Canadian Air Force in World War II where he trained and served as a pilot
with the Number 6 Bomber Command in England and later in the bomb
detonation squad in England and Germany. During the war, he fell in love
with Margaret Read Emmerson, a fellow Canadian from New Brunswick, who
served in the RCAF as a Lead Airwoman. They married on June 28, 1945 in
Yorkshire, England. They spent the next 60 years together, Ted and Chick,
as he lovingly always called Margaret, raising their family in Quebec and
later in Ontario. They lived out their love story right to the end, when
Ted cared for his Chick for the last 5 years of her life with unwavering
commitment and deep love.

Ted was loved by his children; Margaret Ann and Eric Brennand of
Georgetown, Peter and Margie Neve of Westport, Sharon Neve-Gray and Terry
Gray of Guelph, Paul and Diane Neve of London and was predeceased by his
daughter Karen (2001) and Bev Dodge of Dundalk.
He was beloved as Grampy by his grandchildren; Dan & Angie, Cindy, Tonya,
Jennifer & Mark, Melissa & Tim, Kelly & Simon, Mike & Tara, Trevor &
Laura, Kevin, Meghan, Amanda, Katie and Chrissy and 23
great-grandchildren. He is survived by his brother Bob a.k.a Spook,
sisters Connie (Bruce) and Myrtle a.k.a Tubby (Larry) and brother-in-law
John and his wife Crystal
Emmerson and many nieces and nephews. In his last years, Ted met Margaret
Hume with whom he shared 11 wonderful years with her and her family. A
very special thank you to Anne and Nurse Next Door who cared for Ted with
compassion and kindness and the nurses at St Joseph’s Health Care Centre
in the palliative wing especially Jennifer, Hannah and Erin. Rest
in peace Dad, we know you have found Mum and Karen.
