In loving memory of Cornelius Browner, 81 years, who passed away on Thursday, October 29, 2015 at Health Sciences North with his loving family by his side. Beloved husband of Erika. Loving father of Stanley wife Lillian and Monica (predeceased). Cherished and much loved grandfather and great-grandfather. Son of the late Joseph and Ann Margaret (McNeil) Browner. Dear brother of Camilla Peck of Sydney, NS and Mary Gouthro of Reserve Mines, NS. Sadly missed by many nieces and nephews. Born in Glace Bay, Cape Breton, NS, he was a devout Catholic and parishioner of Christ the King Church for more than 40 years. Since day 1 and with over 30 years of dedicated service, he retired as Manager of Maintenance with the City Centre Cinemas. A much loved man who will be sadly missed by all who knew him. In keeping with Cornelius’ wishes there will be no visitation. A private family service will be held at a later date. Donations to the Heart and Stroke Foundation will be gratefully acknowledged.
I was very sorry to hear about Connie’s passing. I was Manager of the City Centre Cinemas for a short time many years ago. One of my fond memories took place when he and Erika invited me to their place for a lobster dinner. Because it was red, Erika thought the lobster was cooked. Connie just chuckled and pretended to eat while Erika and I chewed on the raw lobster. Erika was embarrassed but we all had a good laugh.
