With sadness we announce the passing of Eric Blair Appleby at Dr. Everett Chalmers Hospital on Monday, May 29, 2023.

Eric was born in Toronto in 1929. His mother, Rena Appleby, his father, Arthur Appleby and his sister, Marilyn Brougham, predeceased him.

He leaves behind his loving wife of 69 years, Marion (Lawson); his son Jeffrey (Katherine); daughter Jan Gorham (David); grandchildren, Amy, Eric, Maks, Alex and Cottie.

Eric attended McGill University where he received his Bachelor of Commerce. He then went on to obtain his Law Degree from the University of Toronto. Eric and Marion were married in 1954. Employment followed in New York City and Baltimore.

In 1961, they moved to Fredericton, where Eric opened a law practice. After practicing law for 10 years, he established Maritime Law Book, a leading Canadian legal publication. Eric proudly owned and operated Maritime Law Book for 45 years. He retired at the age of 85.

Eric took great pride playing for the Montreal Royals of 1949. The Royals were the first team east of Toronto to win the Memorial Cup.

The family will be celebrating Eric’s legacy and life privately. He will be remembered for his innate kindness, honesty, and fairness.
