Lieu de naissance : Inverness, Canada
Date de décès : 7 mai 2013
It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Sander MacDonald, surrounded by family, on Tuesday, May 7, 2013, at Harbourstone Enhanced Care Facility.
Born in Inverness, he was the son of the late Allan and Annie May (MacDonald) MacDonald of Black River.
Sander was the bar manager of the Cedars Club, Police Club, and the Elks Club, and a member of the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 12. He was a self-taught musician who was blessed with a beautiful voice. We are sure he is singing with the angels now. He loved his children with every breath that he took, and will be sadly missed.
Sander is survived by his children, Debbie (William) Bouris, Ottawa, Ont., Donna (Mike) Hagen, Sydney, Wayne (Sandra) Sydney, Allan (Paula), Sydney; 11 grandchildren; six great-grandchildren. He is also survived by two brothers, Dougie (Sis), Sydney, John, Edmonton; brother-in-law, Don Thew, Plattsburg, N.Y., as well as nieces and nephews.
Besides his parents, he was predeceased by his sister, Catherine ‘Kay’ ‘Rena’ Thew.
Cremation has taken place. Visitation will be held Saturday, May 11, 2013, at the S.W. Chant & Son Funeral Home, 564 Alexandra St., Sydney, from 12-2 p.m. with a memorial service to follow at 2:30 p.m. in the chapel with Fr. James Oliver officiating.
‘Pops’ will be missed by his darlings at Kimberly Hall. The family would like to thank all the staff on St. Anne’s Bay, Harbourstone for the kindness and care they gave Dad.
