Obituary for Imre "Emery" Nyers

It is with broken hearts that the family of Imre “Emery” Nyers, loving husband of Magdi Nyers, announce his passing after a short but courageous battle with cancer, on Thursday, November 8, 2018 at his residence. Born on January 17, 1934 in Budapest, Hungary, he was a son of the late Jozsef and Terez (Kerekes) Nyers.

Emery arrived in Canada in September 13, 1958 with his wife and a 9 month old child, after spending 20 months in a refugee camp and never looked back. He was a Freedom Fighter in the 1956 Hungarian Revolution against the Russian occupation of Hungary. It was to flee the country or die. He chose to live.

He became a Canadian citizen in 1964 and proclaimed repeatedly that Canada was the best country in the world.He was a licensed car mechanic already when he came to Canada and worked first at Chittick then at O’Brien Motors. Emery went on to become a welder, steamfitter and instrumentation technician and joined UA 213 in 1967. He worked at the Atlantic Sugar Refinery, Bayside Power, NB Power, Irving Oil Refinery, Irving Pulp and Paper, Point Lepreau Nuclear Generating Station and also at the Saint John Shipbuilding and Drydock Company.

Emery was an avid fisherman and gardener. Had a big vegetable garden beside his flower gardens and in the last four years he became a chef. Emery could fix anything and everything no matter how small or large. He loved to travel, went to Europe 11 times, to Las Vegas three times and to Hawaii in 2013. He surprised Magdi on their 45th and 50th Anniversary with a Transatlantic Cruise.

But most of all he was a devoted, loving husband, father, grandfather and great–grandfather. He will be greatly missed and there are no words to describe it, by his family and friends.

Emery is survived by his wife of 61 years, Magdi; sons: Emmerich “Jim” Nyers (Pam) and Raymond Nyers both of Quispamsis; brother Stefan Nyers (Helga) of Vienna, Austria; grandchildren: Jamie, Natasha, Matthew, P.J., Ashley, Monica, Alex and Vicki; great-grandchildren: Logan, Jayden, Brayden, Sarya Lynn, Landon, Emery, Peyton and Bryceton.

In addition to his parents, Emery was predeceased by his son Peter; brothers: Lajos, Gyula, Bela, Geza and Laszlo.

Resting at Brenan’s Funeral Home, 111 Paradise Row (634–7424), with visiting on Wednesday, November 14, 2018 from 2 to 4 and 6 to 8 PM. A Funeral Liturgy will be held on Thursday, November 15, 2018 at 12:00 PM from Brenan’s Funeral Home Chapel. Interment to take place in Fernhill Cemetery with reception to follow at 20 Longwood Drive, Quispamsis.

For those who wish, remembrances can be made to the Canadian Cancer Society or the Heart and Stroke Foundation of New Brunswick. Online condolences can be placed at www.BrenansFH.com.
