Whitney Pier
With heavy hearts we, the family are sorry to share that Garfield Augustus Moe, age 92, of Sydney, passed away on Monday, January 8, 2024, in the Glace Bay General Hospital (4 North), surrounded by his loving family.
Born in Sydney, Garfield was the son of the late Preston and Dorothy (Bramah) Moe.
Garfield dedicated 38 years of his life to the Sydney Steel Corporation before retiring. His passion for his West Indian cooking, put him on a lifelong road to mastering his mother’s recipes, and the perfect fish cakes and pudding and souse.
Garfield is survived by his loving wife, Louise (Eddy) Moe, and children, Danita, Dorothy, Louie, Mona (Wally), Garfield, Marion (John), Darlene, and Carl. Garfield ‘Poppy’ was a much-loved grandfather of Bria, Tyrique, Trinity, Chelsey, Ashley, Chase, Troy, Todd, Jeffrey, Brianne, Elissa, Theo, and Cory. He is also survived by his brothers, Jerome ‘Gee’ (Patricia), Grenfell ‘Babes’ (Geogina), and Gerald (the late Paula); special in-laws, Beverly (Edward) and Barbara (Wayne); special niece, Dena and goddaughter, Shelly. In addition to his family, Garfield leaves behind his special girls, Vivian, Tracey and Leslie; many nieces and nephews, and many good friends who will forever remember his sharp sense of humour and friendship.
Besides his parents, Garfield was predeceased by his children, Jody and Jerome; grandchild, Dominique; sister, Lou Walcott (nee Moe); special friend, Greta Paris and best friend, Ethelston Lucas.
The family would like to extend their heartfelt gratitude to the compassionate and dedicated angel staff at Glace Bay General Hospital (4 North) for their compassionate care and support during Garfield’s time there. There are way too many of them to name, but they are a credit to their profession.

Funeral Service will be held in the funeral home in the All Faith Chapel on Saturday, January 13, 2024, at 1:30 p.m. with Fr. Paul Murphy officiating. Interment will take place at a later date.

We are sending our deepest sympathy to Louise, Danita, Dorthy and all of the Moe family members. It saddens us that Garfield has been called home to be with our Lord and Savior, yet we are grateful that the Lord allowed him 92 years on this earth sharing his life with his family members and loving friends.
I gives me comfort to know that Garfield was met by so many people who passed on before him and loved him, to mention my mother Greta Paris.

Life Is But A Stopping Place
A pause in what’s to be,
A resting place along the road,
To sweet eternity.
We all have different journeys,
Different paths along the way,
We are all meant to learn some things,
But never meant to stay.
Our destination is a place,
Far greater than we know,
For some the journey’s quicker,
For some the journey’s slow.
But when the journey finally ends,
We’ll claim a great reward,
And find an everlasting peace,
Together with the Lord.
Your Father
Although you cannot hear his voice
or see his smile no more,
Your father walks beside you still
just as he did before.
He listens to your stories and
he wipes away your tears;
he wraps his arms around you
and he understands your fears.
It’s just he isn’t visible
To see with human eye,
But talk to him in silence and
his spirit will reply.
You’ll feel the love he has for you
You’ll hear him in your heart;
He’s left his human body but
your souls will never part.
My Deepest Sympathy to Louise, The Families, Friends and The Whitney Pier Community 🙏 May His Soul Rest In Peace 🙏
