Paul Douglas MacDougall
1951-2021
It is with sadness we announce the
peaceful passing of Paul MacDougall, age
69, of Amherst, NS. Paul passed away peacefully at the
Cumberland Regional Health Care Centre on Wednesday, March 17,
2021.
Born in Amherst, NS, he was a son of the
late Gerald and Evelyn (Ash) MacDougall.
Paul was a member of the Canadian Navy
serving 30 years from 1971 to 2001 as a communication tech.
He served at bases across Canada and sailed on the HMCS Athabaskan,
HMCS Fraser, HMCS Saguenay and the HMCS Gatineau, retiring as Petty
Officer 1st Class.
He was a sports enthusiast, and a
lifelong Montreal Canadiens fan. He played hockey for the
Amherst Jr. Ramblers, and little league baseball. He was an
avid golfer since the age of 12 and, while serving in the navy, he
never went anywhere without his golf clubs, and played on several
military golf teams. Upon returning to Amherst, he rejoined
the Amherst Golf Club, and became a member of the Board of Directors.
It was truly his lifelong game. When not golfing, Paul
curled for years. He won many bonspiels, locally and
nationally, representing CFB Halifax. He always looked
forward to Friday night Pool with his friends.
Paul will be dearly missed by his sister
Dawna Ferguson, Abbotsford, BC; brother Ian, Amherst, NS; niece
Jo-Anne Ferguson as well as her children Lindsey, Paige, Mitchell,
Felicia, and Riley.
Arrangements have been entrusted to the
Jones Family Funeral Centre, 70 Church
Street, Amherst, NS (902-667-8777). A graveside service will
be held at a later date.
Donations in memory of Paul may be made
