  Obituary: The death of Joseph William McSheffery of Bath occurred on Saturday, April 17, 2010 at his home. Born March 28, 1931 in Moose Mountain, he was the son of the late William and Annie (Higgins) McSheffery and husband of Patricia (Doherty) McSheffery. Joe served in peacekeeping duties in Korea as a Gunner in the 3rd Royal Canadian Horse Artillery in 1954. He was always available to advise family, friends and neighbours on any mechanical issues they had long after he retired. He participated in a wide variety of outdoor activities, such as hunting, fishing, trips to the camp, fiddle heading, canoeing and snowmobiling. He shared these with his family and close friends Roy & Carol DeMerchant, Bill & Joan Broad, Alan & Sharon DeMerchant, Morley & Eva Oakes and Gordon & Donna Tweedie as well as brothers Gerald (Velda), John (Marie) and Eugene McSheffery. He had an avid interest in airplanes and flying that he shared with Dr. John Lockhart and Bertie McLean. Joe is perhaps best-known for building a 90 hp propeller-powered “air-sled” in the 1970’s and driving it along snowmobile trails and on the Beechwood headpond. Joe was content in later years spending time at home with his wife, Patricia, mowing & plowing his property, working on small mechanical and carpentry projects, doing cross word puzzles, listening to ball games on the radio and enjoying visits with his children & grandchildren, good neighbour Clifford (Mary) Giberson, and friends. Special thanks go to Dr. Colin Lockhart & staff at the former Northern Carleton Hospital and the Upper River Valley Hospital for the kind and thorough healthcare they provided Joseph over the last many years. Joe is survived by his loving wife of 56 years, Patricia; seven children, Dorothy McSheffery, William McSheffery (Alice Bubar), Joseph McSheffery, James McSheffery (Velvet), John McSheffery (Kimberly), Daniel McSheffery (Maura) and Mary MacLeod (Derrick); nine grandchildren, Megan, Joseph, Geneva, Sean, Ryan, Harris, Michael, Lauren and Amelia; siblings, Anne Kilfoil, Gerald McSheffery (Velda), Eugene McSheffery and Margaret Lavoie, and several nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his parents two brothers, Raymond and John, two brothers in law, Charles Doherty and Harold Kilfoil. Visitation will be held from L.R. Giberson Funeral Directors, 207 Burnham Rd. Florenceville on Wednesday, April 21st, 2010 from 2-4 and 7-9 pm. Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated on Thursday, April 22nd, 2010 at 11:00 am from St. Joseph’s Catholic Church, Bath with Fr. David Fulton as celebrant.
