Reverend Michael John Aud – 67, Truro. It is with great sadness that the family announces the passing of Reverend Michael John Aud, beloved husband of Margie (Spencer) Aud, on Monday, April 18, 2016, at Colchester East Hants Health Centre, Truro. Born in 1948 in Harcourt, New Brunswick, he was the cherished son of June Frances (Church) Aud, Moncton, New Brunswick, and the late Donald Ernest Aud.
Michael’s chief joy in life was being with his wife and family. Together, they enjoyed many camping trips in New England, Florida vacations, a 40th wedding anniversary in Picton, Ontario, and many other happy journeys along the way. Michael always had a story or a joke to share. He was also an avid Montreal Canadiens fan and loved to play and watch golf. Just two weeks ago, in honour of the Master’s tournament, he purchased a new TV so he could be part of the action.
His ministry years led him to serve eight different congregations as Pastor, including: Baccaro, Nova Scotia; Campbellton, New Brunswick; Bethany, Saint John, New Brunswick; Faith Tabernacle, Halifax, Nova Scotia; Kingston Gospel Temple, Kingston, Ontario; Flemington Park, Toronto, Ontario; Greenfield Park Pentecostal Church, Quebec; Calvary Pentecostal Church, Truro, Nova Scotia. He also served with excellence on district executives in the Maritimes and Eastern Ontario districts.
His legacy lives on through his children, Joyce (Greg), Philip (Marisa), Stephen (Jessica); grandchildren, Lucas, Abby, Gabriel, Soleil, Shiloh, Spencer, Anna, Thomas. He will be missed by his sister-in-law and brother-in-law, Carol and Don Boyd, aunts, uncles, cousins and many close friends he made along the way.
