John W Payzant (1930-2021)

How does one summarize the life of this man? Dad left the family farm at the tender age of fourteen, to pursue his childhood dream of becoming a successful businessman, with a grade nine education. Beginning his work life earning $18 a week, at a furniture store in Windsor, N.S., he quickly realized after marrying the love of his life, Shirley, in 1951, and with the addition of their first child, that he needed to do better.

They moved to Lr. Sackville in 1952, to begin working for Ted B. Blackburn at Blackburn Shopping Centre, one of the first shopping malls in the province. After years of hard work and gleaning many valuable business tips from Blackburn, Dad purchased the basement of the Blackburn building and established a hardware store. In 1969, Dad had built that business to a level that allowed him to build a new store on Sackville Drive, where it still operates today. In 1970, he joined ranks with the Home Hardware family of stores, largely due to the company’s guiding ethic- that community and the common good is simply good business.

Dad did business in an “old fashioned” way, built on the philosophy of maintaining a good relationship with his customers. Lending a helping hand was commonplace for Dad, having a generous and compassionate heart for those who needed a hand up.
