So sorry about your Dad. I fondly remember your parents from our busy neighborhood in Antigonish; both your parents were very kind and sweet people. Below is a poem that I found several years ago which helped me when I lost my grandparents. Once upon a lifetime Someone comes along Who fills your life with laughter And gives your heart a song Thank you for the memories And all the love you gave I know that I had everything I had you along life's way

We have lots of good memories of Dan and his family as a neighbour, friend, and colleague - Doug taught with him at AEHS, and later on I was often a sub at St. Andrew Jr School and Dan was always kind and helpful and a great sense of humour! Wonderful to see that he lived a long life and got to know/enjoy grand children! A grand legacy. May the good memories help sustain during those lonesome moments. Holding you all in my heart - our very best, Judy Donovan Whitty/Doug Whitty, Ch'town, PEI.

Dianne and I wish to express our condolences to all of Dan's family. Dan was an extremely kind and gentle soul who never had a bad word to say about anyone. Suzanne and our daughter Kelly were best friends throughout their school years and anytime Kelly was at Dan's house visiting Suzanne and her brothers, we knew she was in good hand and never worried about her. I (Norm) knew Dan for many years and know that he will be sorely missed by everyone who was fortunate to have crossed paths with him. God speed. Norm and Dianne Arsenault Niagara-on-the-Lake

Hi Lorin and family. Sorry to hear about Mr MacKay's passing. Lots of fond memories of your father from back in the hockey days. I remember traveling on a hockey trip to Halifax and we went and saw a Police Academy movie when we got there. Take care,

Mr. MacKay was my home room teacher in Grade 12 at Antigonish East High school. I remember him as being so kind and patient especially when I was flunking his physics class! I also recall how encouraging he was as I struggled with this subject and how happy he was when it finally all came to me allowing me to get a passing grade. People come and go in your life but there are some you never forget and Mr. MacKay is one of them for the impact they make. My sincere condolences to all his family!

Condolences to the MacKay family - I remember both of your parents, Doreen and Dan as kind and nurturing when I worked for them at Doreen’s restaurant and as a baby sitter and was happy to reacquaint with him and family again with VON. Dan was still so positive and personable!

I am so very sorry to hear about Mr. Mackay's passing. I recently moved home and wondered where he was now. He taught our whole family and was always one of our favourites. Lorin you spent lots of time at our place and I always enjoyed seeing Mr MacKay as a person and not just a teacher. One time in class he and a friend were sending jabs back and forth and he said “ain’t from glacé bay for nothing” as a response and it’s been a coined term with us since! Sending prayers in this tough time. God Bless.

MacKay children.... So sorry to hear of the passing of your Dad. I was one of the fortunate teachers as I was lucky to spend some years working alongside Dan in the Science Department at Saint Andrew Junior School. We were excited to have Dan join us for those years as he was sure to keep us entertained with so many great stories. I know you'll all miss him immensely but fortunately you'll have tons of wonderful memories moving forward.
