It is with broken hearts that we announce the passing of Tim, our beloved husband, brother, uncle, and friend, on Friday December 29, 2017 at the Strait Richmond Hospital in Evanston, NS following a courageous battle with cancer.
Born on June 18, 1963 in North Sydney, Tim was the youngest son of the late Anna (Keagan) and Roland McCarthy. Tim created memories at Memorial High in Sydney Mines from where he graduated.
Tim enjoyed meeting new people. He was able to interact with the public during his time working at LeMoines’s Grocery, LoFood, Rollie’s Wharf, and Steele’s Monuments in North Sydney.
In 1996 Tim joined the Superstore Family in North Sydney. Over the years he worked at their locations in Antigonish, NS, Chester, NS, Grand Falls, NB, New Minas, NS, and Port Hawkesbury, NS, where Tim has spent the last 17 years.
