Obituary for Ivar Arthur William Butt
Ivar Arthur William Butt (1947-2023)
Ivar Arthur William Butt – 76, of Carrying Place, Ontario, passed away peacefully, Saturday, March 25, 2023, at Hospice Quinte, Belleville, Ontario. Born in Bishop’s Falls, Newfoundland, he was the son of the late Leonard and Eleanor (Simmons) Butt. He worked in customs for the Eaton’s Department Store in Toronto before returning to Newfoundland to join his father in managing their family furniture and appliance business in Stephenville for many years.
He excelled at customer service and was a well-respected business man. He was fortunate to travel to many places around the world due to the success of the family business. After the sale of the business, he spent some time working for Sears Canada and The Salvation Army Family Services in Ottawa. During his life, he was involved in Scouts Canada and was a dedicated member of The Salvation Army Church as a bandsman, pianist, songster leader, singing company leader, and Sunday school teacher. He also participated in Men’s Fellowship and organized Red Shield Campaigns.
He had the pleasure of taking part in musicals, one of which he directed. He enjoyed downhill skiing, boating, woodworking, gardening, and he was a creative landscaper. He loved music and had many talents including playing a variety of instruments. He found great enjoyment in spending time with family and friends socializing and having sing-a-longs. He is survived by his wife of 53 years, Gladelle (Taylor) Butt, brother Leonard Spencer, Nova Scotia, daughter Natalia (Travis) Wheaton, Cambridge, Nova Scotia, daughter Andrea (Neil) McTaggart,
Burlington, Ontario, son Jordan (Michelle), Vancouver, British Columbia, and four grandchildren, Alexis, Myah, Emma, and Sophie. Cremation has taken place at Quinte Cremation and Burial Services in Belleville, Ontario. Interment will take place in the Elm Grove
Cemetery, Steam Mill, Nova Scotia. His family would like to recognize the amazing compassion and care that was given by the staff at Belleville General Hospital and Hospice Quinte.
Donations in memory may be made to the Canadian Cancer Society or the charity of your
