Baggs, regret to announce that his short but courageous battle with cancer has ended. Papa may have lost his fight but he did it in his way, at home surrounded by his loving family. Melvin began his life on April 7, 1938, growing up with his 12 brothers and sisters. He married the love of his life, Louise (Mailman) Baggs and raised five wonderful children. Melvin was employed at National Sea Products early in his married life when he was involved in a horrific accident that injured his back and left him in a body cast for eight months. After a long recovery he returned to work, where he was a construction/labourer by trade. Melvin was employed by Atomic Energy where he worked at the Heavy Water Plant in Glace Bay. He continued in construction where he was employed by the Lingan Power Plant, Wreck Cove Power Plant, construction of the City Hospital Nurses' Residence. He spent a short time on the draggers alongside his oldest son, Jerry (Gerald). He loved to peddle fish and was most likely to be accompanied by one of four sons, and/or his son-in-law. Melvin was a strong man who made it his mission to provide a loving, stable life forhis wife and children. He was more concerned over the big things in life and didn't sweat the small stuff. Melvin was the son of the late William 'Bill' and Jean (Drover) Baggs. He is survived by his loving and devoted wife, Louise (Mailman) Baggs who stayed beside him for almost 44 years through all trials and tribulations; his oldest son, Jerry (Gerald), Halifax, a very special son who resides at home, Vincent 'ol buddy'; his only daughter, Lisa and son-in-law, Kenny Peters, Glace Bay, son, Albert and daughter-in-law, Shellon (Matheson), Sydney; son, Jason and daughter-inlaw, Terri (Koenig), Fredericton, N.B. Also surviving is Sheila (Peters) Bragg; a 'daughter' who joined our family dynamics and remained; good friends and in-laws, Wi l f, the 'Duck', Dorothy 'Dottie' and Hilda and Gerald Rudolph. Melvin (Papa Baggs) was a very lucky man to also be blessed with 10 grandchildren, Sylvia, Brian and Kyle Baggs, Hilary, Holly and Ryan Peters, Dylan and Logan Baggs, Karli and Nathan Baggs. They all loved their Papa very much. Allister, his only surviving brother, is one of loyalty and respect. Allister and his wife, Linda live in Ontario. He is also survived by his sisters, Ruby, Vera, Marilyn, Lillian, Marion, Chris, Doris and his sister, Irene (John) Reid, GlaceBay.

Teodorescu, the Palliative Care Society and the VON, because without them we could not have helped our mother carry out our father's final wishes, to be at home. Also a special thanks to the third floor at the Glace Bay Health Center and the Cape Breton Cancer Centre. Any donations should bemade to the Cape Breton Palliative Care Society.

This dream was soon to be realized when he worked for CHER in Sydney and CIGO in Port Hawkesbury. Glen also put his charismatic nature to use by volunteering his time to many organizations. He had been very involved with Alcoholics Anonymous and felt very blessed to have been given 34 years of sobriety. He also took pride in volunteering to speak to the youth in local schools as well as many other events. Glen took on numerous occupations including CN Police, Canada Post newspaper columnist, political speech writer, and personal consultant and public relations trouble shooter.

He had come to be known as Cape Breton's poet. Glen's spiritual soul allowed him to be the most dedicated father. He believed that nothing came before his family. Although he was a very private person, his true character and sense of humour shined through to his family and close friends. Those having received Glen's love and gentleness will deeply miss and remember him as a 'good man'.

So what does it matter how long we may live; If as long as we live, we unselfishly give."

| Beaton | Rev. Angus Beaton | The Buffalo News | 06/07/2005 | Natalie Hanlon | BEATON - Rev. Angus, teacher counselor 7/6/2005 The Rev. Angus Beaton, a priest with the Congregation of Jesus and Mary for more than 50 years, died July 3 in the Eudist Father's Infirmary in Charlesbourg, Quebec, after a long illness. He was 78. Born in Mabou, Nova Scotia, in 1927, Father Beaton entered the Congregation seminary in 1953 and was ordained a priest three years later. He arrived in Buffalo in 1959 and during his 15-year stay taught English at Cardinal Dougherty High School on Hertel Avenue. Father Beaton was known as a "wise adviser" and over the years touched the lives of many of his students. He befriended students with family problems and assumed the duties of guidance counselor, said the Rev. Ronald J. Bagley, pastor of St. Bonaventure Parish in West Seneca. "The students really confided in him," Father Bagley said. "Years later, many of his former students still want to know how he is doing." While teaching full-time, Father Beaton attended school, earning a master's degree in education from Canisius College. After leaving Buffalo, he did graduate work in pastoral counseling at St. Paul University in Ottawa before becoming a pastor in the Diocese of Lafayette, La. In 1983, Father Beaton became a campus minister at San Diego State University, where he served for 16 years before failing health forced him to retire. Father Beaton retired in 1999 to Nazareth House in San Diego, and then to the Eudist Infirmary in Charlesbourg, Quebec, the same building - once the Congregation's seminary - in which he began his career. A Mass of Christian Burial will be offered at 11 a.m. Friday in St. Mary's Parish in Mabou, Nova Scotia. Burial will be in the parish cemetery. | |||
