Alphonsus Hawkins Obituary
Service Begin Date - December 8, 2016 Service End Date - December 10, 2016
Passed peacefully away in the presence of his loving family on December 6, 2016. Alphonsus (Phonse) Hawkins of Cape Broyle. Predeceased by his parents, Denis and Madeline and his sister, Lucy. He leaves to mourn his devoted wife of 54 years, Bride (nee Rossiter) and his much loved daughters, Glenda (Pete Johns), Paradise, Paula (Paul Mulcahy), Cape Broyle, Carolyn, St.John's, Maureen (Ed Duff), Paradise and Suzanne (Erin Law), Montreal. Phonse was a loving grandfather and he will be greatly missed by Zachary (Caitlin) and Garrett (Alyssa) Johns, Clinton and John Agriesti and their Dad Blaine, Bridget and Monica Duff, Matilda and Maeve Mulcahy. He leaves behind his siblings and their families; Rosemary, Gertie Melvin, Maureen Lawlor (Len), Eleanor Hynes, Carmel Croft, Randy, Gerald and David (Brenda). He also leaves the Rossiter family: Raymond (Enid), Dot O'Brien (Andrew), Tillie Sullivan (Joey), Muriel Ronayne, Marion Murphy (Charlie), and Pat (Linda). Dad always appreciated the "little things" in life; walking in the woods, riding in the boat, trouting up the shore, reading a good book, playing cards, chatting on the wharf and spending time with family and friends. He always knew that all those "little things" really were the "big important things" in life. You taught us so much Dad. We are truly grateful to have had you in our lives. We will always be "Your Girls". Funeral arrangements are entrusted to Ryan's Funeral Home, Bay Bulls. Visitation will take place on Thursday, December 8th from 7pm - 9pm and on Friday, December 9th from 2pm - 9pm. Mass of Christian burial to take place from Immaculate Conception R.C. Church, Cape Broyle, Saturday December 10th, at 11am. Cremation to follow. In memory of our Dad and in the spirit of the upcoming season, donations to the Gathering Place or the Wiseman Centre would be very much appreciated.
