    Notes:

    Excerpt from "Descendants of Joseph West" compiled by Rex Gibbons, 2010

    "At the age of 17, Ronald lied about his age and signed up for military service in Grand Falls, Newfoundland. He became a member of the 59th Regiment of the Royal Newfoundland Heavy Artillery. After some training and a brief stop in Halifax, along with many other Newfoundlanders, he headed overseas (a 28-day voyage). For the next six years, his travels in the military took him to England, France, Belgium, Holland and Germany, and other parts of Europe. After returning home after the war, as a Lance Corporal, he settled in Ladle Cove, the home of his wife, Doris. Before he died, he gave his grandson, John-Charles Tulk, the old uniform that he was wearing when he came home from the war in 1945. Young John-Charles and his sister, Jacinta, became members of Air Cadets 537 Squadron of Gander, and John-Charles wore his grandfather's uniform at the 2005 annual review where his sister, Jacinta, gave a speech about her grandfather, appropriately called "My Hero". Mr. West, by then very feeble, was also proudly escorted to the podium after the speech."

    Ronald married Doris Tulk on 25 Nov 1959. Doris was born in 1928; died in 2008. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

    Obituary West, Hardy Corbett Passed peacefully away on Thursday, June 30, 2016, at James Paton Memorial Hospital, Gander, Hardy Corbett West, aged 91. Born in Ladle Cove, Notre Dame Bay December 16, 1924, he is pre-deceased by parents Theophilus and Elaine West, and brothers Wilson and Ronald West (Doris), of Ladle Cove. Leaving to mourn with many fond memories, are wife Doris of Gander; daughter, Sandra Kelly (Ron) of Gander; daughter Sharon McCann (Alan) of Edmonton, Alberta; son, Eric (Claudia), of Ladle Cove; brother Clarence West (Ivy) of Gander; grandchildren, Ronald Kelly (Annie) of Cochrane, Alberta; Sean Kelly (Janet) of St. John's; Kevin McCann (Becky) of Edmonton, Alberta; great grandchildren Tayla, (Jordan), Kael, and Isabel Kelly, all of Cochrane Alberta; and a wide circle of extended family and friends. Hardy grew up in Ladle Cove, one of four brothers. As a young man, he spent time fishing, cutting wood and hunting. In 1942, he moved to Gander to work, eventually becoming a book keeper and office manager with Goodyear Humber Stores. In 1948, he married Doris Wellon, also from Ladle Cove. Together they built a new life, building one of the first houses on the new Gander townsite, and raising three children, Sandra, Sharon, and Eric. Hardy retired in 1984 and spent over 30 years enjoying the great outdoors, especially boating, fishing, and his true passion - gardening. Hardy often returned to Ladle Cove where he and his family spent many summers with family and friends. Hardy was an active, 'behind the scenes' volunteer with many charities, youth and community organizations. He donated his bookkeeping and tax accounting skills to the Church, the Boy Scouts, the Food Bank, and many of Gander's seniors. Hardy will be fondly remembered and sadly missed by all who knew him. Heartfelt thanks are extended to the devoted doctors and nursing staff of James Paton Memorial Hospital.
