BOLGER,
Captain
Patrick
N.
Died peacefully at home in Perth, Ontario on November 9th, in
his 98th year. A native of New Ross, Co. Wexford, Ireland, Pat
began his career as an apprentice deck officer with Watts Watts
Steamship Company with which he remained until 1943 when he accepted
employment with the Park Steamship Company. He was one of the
youngest ship masters to be given a command in the British Merchant
Navy. He served throughout the Second World War in the Merchant
Navy and acted as commodore on voyages to Murmansk and Archangel
in Northern Russia to ensure the provision of supplies to the
Soviet people and military. He also served in the campaign to
liberate Italy during the invasion of Sicily. Pat was a long-time
employee of McLean Kennedy Inc., having commenced his career
ashore as marine superintendent in 1944 and retiring as Vice-President
- Operations. He also was intimately involved in the establishment
of the Brunterm Container Terminal in Saint John, New Brunswick
and at the time of his retirement was a Vice-president and director
of Brunterm. Pat will be remembered for his deep commitment to
the Merchant Navy and the steamship industry in general and his
devotion to several charitable organizations, including Mariners'
House of Montreal, the successor of the Catholic Sailors Club,
which he served as President in 1965-67. Pat was predeceased
by his one and only true love to whom he was devoted, Helen Bruce
ORR and will be missed tremendously by his loving children Aidan
(Georgette), Honor, Jeremy (Wendy) and Christopher (Lorraine)
and his adoring grandchildren Samantha, Ashley, Michael and Claire.
