Lloyd Arthur Trites

 

Lloyd was born in Frosty Hollow, NB on March 27th, 1945 the son of the late Ernest and Elsie (Murray) Trites.

 

Lloyd worked as a truck driver for over 35 years having traveled all over the Maritimes and many trips to the US. He was a faithful member of the Hillsborough United Church. He was a member of the Hillsborough Volunteer Fire Department when he was younger, he was always ready to help out in his community. If anyone needed anything all you had to do was call Lloyd. He enjoyed hockey, especially when his boys played, woodworking, going to Blue Grass festivals, playing a good game of cards and also going to the antique car shows. He will be remembered for his great sense of humor and his hospitality. He lost his beloved wife, Annabelle, last February and that has been extremely hard on him. He felt blessed to have the support of his boys and their families to help get him through that difficult time. He was extremely happy to see his new great granddaughter's arrival just a month and a half ago. We can only think of how happy he is as he is getting reacquainted with the love of his life for eternity and we are sure he is telling her how fast Violet is growing and how beautiful their little Calla is. To his boys he would say " We leave but our love does not, we shall love you in heaven as we have on this earth. Take care of each other and know we are not far away we will live on in your hearts forever."

 

He will be deeply missed by sons, Gregory Trites (Michelle) of Riverview, Billy Trites of Moncton and Tim Trites (Nicole) of Riverview; his precious grandchildren, Marrisa, Marley, Abigail, Kayla, Mason, Leeah, Skylar and Teaguen; precious great-granddaughters, Violet and Calla; sisters, June Vessey (David) of Summerside, PEI, Kathleen Leaman (Reggie) of Moncton, Jean Pond (Earl) of Saint John; brother, Douglas Trites (Carole) of Riverview; sister-in-law, Phyllis Trites of Riverview; several nieces and nephews. He will also be missed by all his in-laws, The Reid Family and by many good friends.

 

Besides his parents he was predeceased by beloved wife, Annabelle; brothers, Roy, Earl and Gerald.

 

Honoring Lloyd's own wishes there will be no visitation. A Celebration of his life will be held at the Albert County Funeral Home on Saturday, January 28th, 2017 at 2:00pm with Rev. Carol Mullin officiating. Interment will be in the River View Cemetery, Edgett's Landing at a later date.
