MILLINGTON, Allen Thomas- 81, Queensland. It is with much sadness that we, the family of Al Millington announce his passing on September 14, 2009, in South Shore Regional Hospital, Bridgewater. His loss is deeply felt by his beloved wife, Carolyn; son, David and daughter-in-law, Anita (Herlihy); son, Paul and daughter-in-law, Karen (Ferrand); son, Mark; grandchildren, Jennifer and Joseph; nieces, Linda Loth and Judith Curtis and their husbands, Jack Schoon and Ross Curtis; brother and sister-in-law, Ronald and Jackie Lohnes. Al was born in 1928 in Thorold, Ont., to Margaret (Rigby) and William Millington (of Manchester, England), one of eight sons. He was raised in the Toronto area before joining the Canadian Navy in 1947. He was posted to Halifax where he met and married the love of his life, Carolyn Lohnes. Al served 26 years in the Navy, posted to CFB Hochelaga and CFB Rivers and a large number of ships, enjoying many world adventures that in later years provided the material for his legendary story-telling. He rose to the position of personal chef to the Commodore of the Bonaventure, picking up recipes from restaurants in many ports-of-call (including the famous whole boneless chicken taught to him in Norway) and demonstrating his skills to royalty and heads-of-state. He retired as Chief Petty Officer Second Class in 1973. After Al left the Navy, he and Carolyn ran a successful private catering firm in Halifax for several years before retiring to their waterfront home in Clementsport. They returned to the South Shore in 1995. Among his many life interests were golf (he and Carolyn were long-time members of the Annapolis Royal Golf and Country Club), flying (Al obtained his private pilot's licence in 1969), boating, and, in recent years, Al enjoyed digital photography and working on his computer. In the last few years, Al faced many health challenges without complaint. He maintained an active social life that began daily with the Hubbards Coffee Group and included an ongoing involvement with the Hubbards Area Lions Club where he had held various offices including multiple terms as King Lion. Throughout his life he received many awards and certificates of appreciation for his contribution to a variety of community organizations. He was particularly proud of the Melvyn Jones Fellow presented for Dedicated Humanitarian Services to Lions Clubs International. Funeral service will be held 11 a.m. Saturday September 19th from St. Luke's Anglican Church, Hubbards, Rev. Laurie Omstead officiating. A reception will follow the service at the Hubbards Area Lions Club, Fox Point. We would like to express our deepest thanks to Dr. Heather Robertson and all of the nursing staff at SSRH. Al had nothing but praise for their wonderful care. On-line condolences can be made to www.rawalker.ca
