We, the family of Dennis Alexander MacLean, regret to announce his passing on Sunday, April 3, 2016, at Harbourstone Enhanced Care, Sydney. He passed away peacefully with his daughter at his side.
Born in Sydney on Dec. 22, 1946, he was the oldest son of the late John Alexander and Frances Lydia May (Hill) MacLean.
Dennis is survived by his daughter, Darcie (Kenny Latham), Sydney; her mother, his first wife, Linda Donovan; adopted son, Jeffery (Tena), Alta., his mother, Dennis’s second wife, Lisa Barrett; third wife, Anne Marie MacNeil; sisters, Nancy, Lake Ainslie, Sandra (Danny), B.C. and Betty, Alta.; brothers, Robert (Betty), B.C., Blair, Alta., and Maurice, Halifax; many nieces and nephews.
For 22 years, Dennis was employed as a design draftsman with Butler Buildings/Maritime Builders. He had other jobs before and after, but his two favourite were at the Two Rivers Wildlife Park and with CBRM Fire Services Inspections & By-Laws. Dennis loved anything to do with the outdoors, photography and working with his hands and was a member of St. Andrew’s United Church, Sydney and the St. Andrew’s Men’s Club.
A heartfelt thanks to the amazing staff on Fisherman's Cove at Harbourstone for their compassion and care of my father for the past number of years. Dad suffered from Lewy Body Dementia, but was always upbeat, loved music and loved to make everyone laugh.
As per Dad's wishes, there will be no visitation or service. Interment will take place at a later date. Family & friends are welcome to celebrate his life at 139 Patnic Ave. Sydney on Friday, April 8, 2016, from 2- 4 p.m.
