The death of Verne Ashley Totton, husband of Linda (Reicker) Totton, of Midland, NB, occurred unexpectedly at the Sussex Health Centre, on Saturday, February 16, 2013. He was born on November 19, 1940, in Midland, NB, the son of the late George and Pearl (McBride) Totton. Kayla : My Grampie will always have a place in my heart, from thinking he was coming to rescue me, when really it was a bunch of guinea hens hollering, to helping me out and cosigning on my car. He was always there for all of us, we will miss him greatly. Mitzi: I never forgot our trips to the "Pig Store" or to the dump. He was the most amazing man in my life and always will be. Josh: I will always remember Grampie’s stories, and at the end of every story there would always be the funniest joke. I always listened to his stories and laughed at every joke. I’m happy that I was fortunate to have him as my grandfather.
