Passing of Jeremy Frith

It is with deep sadness that we post this notice of the passing of Jeremy Frith of St. Ann's Bay, Nova Scotia

Jeremy died Tuesday, Dec. 8, 2009, unexpectedly, at home. Born June 3, 1945, in Bermuda, Jeremy lived around the world before settling to create his dream, Mountain Meadow Farm in North River, St. Ann's Bay. He was a visionary and a maverick in all aspects of life with a remarkable sense of humour. Jeremy was a fixer and a thinker, a dreamer and a doer, a poet, musician and storyteller. He was a passionate farmer and a steward of the land since the age of two. Jeremy was a very generous community man, an elder at the St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church and a man who felt strongly
about the co-operative movement. He was a loving and supportive husband and father.

He is survived by his wife, Sue; his two sons, Josiah and Alec; a stepdaughter, Laura Russell; and siblings, John, Michael and Wendy and their families. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the forestry program of the Ecology Action Centre in Halifax.

A service will be held at the St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church at North River, St. Ann's Bay, Saturday, Dec. 12 at 11 a.m.
