It is with deep sadness we announce the
peaceful passing of Allen Ernest
Estabrooks, age 88, of Sackville, NB.
Allen passed away peacefully in the Drew Nursing Home on
Monday, January 28, 2019.
Born in Midgic, NB, he was a son of the
late Albert and Zora (Hicks) Estabrooks.
Allen was a custodian at Mount Allison
University for 28 years, retiring in 1994. He was one of the guys at all
the exhibitions in the Maritimes and spent many hours taking 1000's of
pictures, always making sure that a copy was given to
everyone. He
enjoyed going down to St. Anne's Hall in the mornings to have
"Coffee in the Woods" and catch up on all the
gossip. He loved
to tease and could give as well as take.
Allen will be sadly missed by his nieces
Carolyn Smith and Marlene Phinney; nephews Fred (Joann) Estabrooks and
William Estabrooks; several great nephews and nieces.
He was predeceased by his brothers
Colburn (Irene), David (Hilda), and sister Helen (Edward) Sears and
