David Jones, the general manager of the Mayflower Curling Club and a renowned ice maker, was pulled from the water by his son a few kilometres east of Peggys Cove where the pair were scuba diving.
Emergency crews were called to Blind Bay around 6:15 p.m. Sunday night.
Paramedics worked to resuscitate Jones after he was pulled from the water unconscious but those attempts failed.
Dale Hutchinson, Mayflower’s assistant ice maker worked side-by-side with Jones for almost 20 years.
“Not only was he a good manager and ice maker but he was a good person, and anybody associated with Mayflower will tell you that, I’m sure,” said Hutchinson.
