It is with great sadness that the family of Charles Duncan MacLellan, announces his sudden passing at home on Saturday April 24, 2021, after a year long courageous battle in his 84th year. Charles, fondly known to many as Red, will be lovingly remembered by his wife of 60 years, Tania and his two children Michael and Sherry (Wayne). Loving Papa to Tiffany (Craig), Kristen (Harry), and Brooke (Joey) and proud Great-Papa to Kinsley, Emersyn and August. Charlie was also a loving brother to sisters Jean, Carol, and Lila, brother Vincent (Florence) and predeceased by brother Alex (Shirley). Uncle Charlie will be forever remembered by his numerous nieces, nephews, and extended family and dear friends. Charles was born to Vincent and Lila MacLellan in 1937 in Antigonish, Nova Scotia. At the young of 17 he headed to Ontario and he began his career as a railroader for the CN Rail, to which he retired after over 40 years of service. He was appointed Reeve of Hornepayne, Ontario in 1974 serving in this capacity until 1991 and during this time Charles served on the boards of numerous organizations and committees to which he was extremely dedicated. In retirement Charles left Hornepayne for Cobourg, Ontario where in 2002 he took on a much loved second career as a Commissionaire for many establishments in the city including Kraft Foods, Northumberland Hills Hospital and Victoria Hall. Anyone who met Charlie knows he was a avid story teller who loved to talk, usually over a cup of coffee at Tim Hortons, about his many passions including politics, hockey, golf and his greatest pride of all which was his family.
The family would like to thank Dr. Cunningham, Dr. Blouin and all of the oncology team that took such wonderful care, and supported Charles over this past year. Due Covid-19 restrictions there will be no service at this time. A celebration of life will take place at a later date. In Leu of flowers donations can be made to the Canadian Cancer Society.
