Eagles, David Ian, 53, Truro, passed away Sunday, November
11, 2017 in the QE II Health Science Centre, Halifax Infirmary Site,
Halifax. Born in Truro, he was a son of the late Mearl and Leah (Boyd)
Eagles. Dave worked for over twenty-three years at the Truro branch
and regional headquarters of the Colchester-East Hants Public
Library. In 1988, he was a member of the special project
team preparing the collection for a new library in Elmsdale; later he
was part of the pre-automation team taking an inventory of the
collection throughout the library system. In 1994, he joined
the staff. Working in all departments, he shelved books,
prepared new books for the collection, and helped with clerical
work. For Dave, who loved reading and surrounding himself
with books, the library was his ideal workplace.
He is survived by his best friend Robert Hanhan of Truro; his
feline friend Suri; good friends Brian and Betty Blois and Alan and
Joan Stewart; his close library and church families; aunts, uncles,
cousins; nieces Holly and Erin; sisters Michael Ann (Rob),
