| MacCormick | John 'Allie' MacCormick | Cape Breton Post | 05/09/2009 | John 'Allie' MacCormick, Lingan Born in 02/01/1952 at New Waterford , Nova Scotia , Canada It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of our husband and father, John Alloysius ‘Allie’ MacCormick, on Thursday, Sept. 3, 2009, at the New Waterford Consolidated Hospital, with his family at his side. Allie was born in New Waterford, N.S., on Jan. 2, 1952. The love of his life was his wife, Frances and their daughter, Linda Coreen. That love was extended to his mother, Olive; mother-in-law, Rose, and the rest of his family. Allie always supported Frances in everything she wanted to do and would jump through hoops to help her accomplish what she wanted. Whatever Linda needed, Allie would be sure to provide. He always had the delicate touch when it came to his little girl. Linda would very easily turn this six-foot plus man into puddy. All she had to do was bat her baby blues or do the little girl pout and she would have him eating out of the palm of her hands. He was a member of St. Michael’s parish, a former member of the Scotchtown Volunteer Fire Department and the New Waterford Army, Navy, Airforce. Allie worked in the Lingan coal mine as a shear mechanic, and was a well respected heavy equipment mechanic, both in his community and all over Cape Breton.

He also enjoyed sitting outside his reck room on the deck during hot summer days, enjoying a beer and listening to his other favourite music, songs such as Louie Armstrong’s ‘What a Wonderful World’; Tom T. Hall’s and Don Williams’ ‘Watermelon Wine’; and his favorite … Jim Croce’s ‘Bad Bad Leroy Brown’.

| MacDonald | Adelaide MacDonald | Cape Breton Post | 11/12/2009 | Adelaide MacDonald Born at Sydney Mines , Nova Scotia , Canada A reserved modest demure figure has departed our midst. Adelaide MacDonald, 101, slipped away peacefully Wednesday, December 9, 2009, leaving this life as she entered it, quietly and gracefully. Adelaide’s serene passing is a sorrowful loss to her family/relatives as well as her Harbourstone family at Mira Bay, (residents and staff), both respecting her as a unique, dignified human being. Born in Sydney Mines, she was the daughter of the late David and Bridgett (Peck) MacDonald; she was predeceased by a brother, Richard Anthony MacDonald. Adelaide was the last surviving member of her family and the eldest resident at Harbourstone Enhanced Care, Kenwood Drive, where she was a resident for the last seven years. She held iconic status in both families. Adelaide’s working career spanning over 40 years saw her in such occupations as an operator with Maritime Tel & Tel in the early years, later moving on to Canada Post as an agent and finishing up her livelihood as a member of the Customer Service staff with the T. Eaton & Co. order office in Sydney Mines. In the quiet mild manner in which she lived out her life devoted to Church and family, Adelaide was a faithful member of the congregation of Immaculate Conception, Sydney Mines. She spent many years as an active member of the CWL in that parish as well as a member of their choir. The church would resound to her unique soprano pitch. She and her cousin Alice enjoyed their 45’s and bridge clubs. Her hours of needlepoint and crocheting were rewarded at the church fairs as popular sought after items; knitted items were reserved for family. She was an avid baseball fan keeping stats on her favorite team as well as the competition. The remainder of her time would be spent on challenging crossword puzzles and chryptoquotes keeping her mind keen and sharp her entire life. She attended and participated in her yearly evaluations and assessments up to and including earlier this year. Her generosity was demonstrated to local charities and church in her home town and volunteering was also a part of her earlier years. Her rosary was never out of reach and the exemplary Christian life she led was a major contributing factor to her longevity. She would attest to that fact often. Left to mourn are her cousins Mary, Gerard and Patsy Quirk, North Sydney, always referred to as her immediate family at her request, along with her extended family by proxy, the Mira Bay Staff, both provided her with tender, compassionate and loving care. There are also various cousins throughout the Maritime Provinces and Western Canada. At this time words cannot express our sincere gratitude to the staff that understood Adelaide’s spirited and feisty episodes as out of character and were handled with an unyielding level of professionalism and composure. However, they also recognized her private and reserved mannerisms and doted on them with the greatest respect as part of her unique personality. Adelaide’s reciprocal affectionate loving gestures were embraced by the staff and accepted fondly as rewards for their empathy and kindness. Their elation, reverence and appreciation toward this special lady were expressed in their tone when relating stories and events of the day. Our genuine, heartfelt appreciation is extended to all of you. Special thanks to Dr. Glen Gracie for his care through the years. There will be no visitation by request. Cremation will take place under the direction of Francis Funeral Home, Sydney Mines. A memorial mass and interment will take place at a later date.

| macDonald | Angus F. macDonald | Inverness Oran | 22/06/2005 | Juanita MacDonald | Mr. Angus F. macDonald of Montgomery Drive, Windsor, Ontario passed away peacefully April 21st, 2005 at his home. he was born in Creignish-Cape Breton, son of Archie Dan and jessie Ann (MacEachern) MacDonald. Gus grew up on the farm with his sister Bessie and brother Vincent. Many a Summer day you would find Gus with the horses, Queenie and Dell, or with the dog. The winters, gave him a chance to fly on anything pliable over the snow and down Creignish Mountain. Soon to learn safer ways to have fun, he enjoyed the step dances in the halls around Cape Breton. Gus jined the navy in 1942-1945, before eventually settling in Windsor. Keeping with his roots, he joined the Cape Breton Club, where he met his late wife Rita (Finn), previously of Port Hood. Nine children later and many years of diligent honest, hard work, often having to work out of town, Dad always made time to enjoy his family. Gus always kept in touch with goings on in Cape Breton through his late sister, Bessie Steele, and Nova Scotia through his late brother Vincent, and spending many a summer visiting. Gus was always ready to give a step or two ... you would often see him first on the dance floor to start a set. Many will miss his dancing, genuine quick wit and easygoing personality. He always had a smile for all. Gus is now joined with Rita; they will be gin 'er together forever on the dance floor, I checked; Dad has his dancing shoes on! Angus, Gus, Dad, Gampy and by some, Peewee, will be missed ddealy by all whom he touched and loved, his children, nieces, nephews, grandchildren, relatives and friends. Gus, you're with people who held you close to their heart. Give them a kiss from all of us. Your dance card is full forever. God bless you. | |||
