It is with heavy hearts the family of Patrick Amos McGuigan announce his passing at the Northside General Hospital on Wednesday, March 5, 2014.
Born in Sydney Mines on June 21, 1934, Patrick was the son of the late Arthur and Eugena Rose (Williams) McGuigan.
A descendent of John ‘Jock’ and Margaret (Hughes) McGuigan who immigrated to Prince Edward Island from Monaghan, Ireland in 1835. Pat’s father Art moved to Cape Breton to obtain work in the coal mines. Pat himself worked in the Thompson, Greener, Princess and Prince Mines. During his retirement, his favourite place to be was Margaree with his wife Marie, along with in-laws Albert and Theresa Eveleigh. In his earlier years he enjoyed spending time with family in Ingonish, and with friends hunting and fishing.
Pat is survived by his wife of 60 years, Marie (MacIntosh); one daughter Rose, Sydney Mines; and three sons, Patrick, Fort McMurray, Charles, Boularderie, and Kenneth, Sydney Mines. Also left to mourn are his nine grandchildren, Patricia Joan (PJ), Townley, Scott, Jenene, Jessica, David, Jordan, Patrick and Linden, and seven great-grandchildren.
Besides his parents, he was predeceased by grandmother (Momma) Bridget (Donovan, Williams) Burket, Jack Collins (adopted Dad), and dear friends Charles Julian and Albert Eveleigh, who were like the brothers he never had.
We wish to thank the doctors, nurses and staff at the Northside General Hospital who administered to him during this difficult time, and also his cousins Joe Williams, Joe Walsh and Rose MacAulay.
There will be no visitation. A celebration of Pat’s life will take place on Saturday, March 8, 2014, at 10 a.m. in Holy Family Church, Sydney Mines, with Fr. Thomas John officiating.

We know with certainty that you rejoice now with those you missed, and so much longed to be with. Until we meet again, forever in our hearts and minds, we love and miss you.
