Angus was a skilled tractor trailer and heavy equipment operator and over the years did both long haul and local trucking. He worked for many years for MacDonald GW Trucking, as well as Phillips, HW and Sons. He was passionate about and skilled at his trade and had many a story to share about his adventures over the years. All who knew Angus will agree he was a one of a kind individual and he will be remembered for his never ending generosity, kindness and charismatic personality. Angus was a private man who lived a simple life, yet will leave behind so many who loved him and will miss him always.
