Lloyd “Brock” Bussey of Blenheim and formerly of Port Dover passed away peacefully with his family by his side on Wednesday April 27, 2010 at the age of 70. Brock was born August 25, 1940 in Simcoe, the first child of the late Lloyd and Edna (Seymour) Bussey. It was in that town where he would meet his soul mate Ina (Armstrong) and began a journey that would last over forty-two years. Brock and Ina raised three children; Michael Bussey & Lisa Dunn of Calgary, Diane Bussey & Carol Mansley of Simcoe and Kerry & Will Foster of Blenheim. They were also blessed with five grandchildren; Michael (Brittney), Sarah, Seth (Megan), Liam and Grace as well as two great-grandchildren Morgan and Sydney all of whom affectionately referred to Brock as their “Poppi”. Brock is also survived by his siblings Margaret Want of London, Richard & Sue Bussey of Blenheim, Doreen & Harold Staib of Simcoe, Diane Bussey of Simcoe and Judy Underhill of Simcoe as well as many nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his sister, Marion Rutter. As a young man in Simcoe, Brock was a Scout Master and worked at J.B. Jackson’s. With his move to Port Dover, “Chocolate Brocklate” was employed as a chef at the Erie Beach Hotel where he worked for over thirty years. A man of few words (“Kuala Lupur er, er, ER!”) but a keen sense of humour, Brock will be remembered for the love he had for his family, ice cream, his crossword books and a refined preference for certain brands of beer. Respecting Brock’s wishes cremation is to be followed by a Memorial Service to be held in Port Dover at a later date. Blenheim Community Funeral Home entrusted with arrangements. Friends wishing to remember Brock with a memorial donation are asked to consider Scouts Canada or the Alzheimer Society.
