Robert «Bruce» MacBeath
1937-2020
MacBeath – Bruce MacBeath died
peacefully on Wednesday, September 23rd at the Prince County Hospital,
Summerside, PE. The son of the late Alec and Laura (Baird) MacBeath of
Campbellton, NB, Bruce attended Mount Allison University where he met
the love of his life, the late Janet (Horne). Together, they created a
life centred around family, friends and a mutual love for Prince
Edward Island, especially Cavendish. Bruce is survived by his family –
Nancy (George) Fotopoulos and Julia (Pierre) Gaudet and his four
grandchildren, Hanna (Matt) Gaudet MacNeil, Zack Gaudet, Alexandra and
Corinne Fotopoulos and new great grandson Oliver MacNeil, all of whom
were the fortunate recipients of his generous spirit and sense of
humour. Having lost his only sibling, Nancy Jane MacBeath, at a very
young age, he treasured his relationship with brother-in-law Lee
(Christine) Horne and sister-in-law Helen Horne
Nugent.
After starting out in Ontario with General Electric and
General Motors, Bruce made his way back to the Maritimes, spending the
bulk of his career in Riverview/Moncton with the financial
institutions of Walwyn, Stodgell & Gairdner, Dominion
Securities, and finally RBC Securities.
Throughout it all he was an avid sports fan – unfailingly
loyal to his Leafs and Jays – with an undying passion for country
music and dogs, especially pugs. He spent many hours commuting between
Moncton and Cavendish so that Jan and his kids could enjoy their
summers on the links and beaches of Cavendish . In their later years,
Bruce and Jan reaped the benefits of an early retirement, spending
their winters in Daytona, Florida with many wonderful friends.
Bruce’s family is forever grateful to the kindness
and compassion shown by the staff of the Prince County Hospital and
the many homecare nurses who cared for and entertained him over the
past years. In addition, a very special thanks for the care
and friendship of Malcom Shaw and Linden Pineau. Resting at the Moase
Funeral Home, Summerside. No visiting hours or funeral service by
personal request. Memorial donations to the Prince County Hospital
Foundation or the Canadian Cancer Society would be
appreciated.
