Richard MacAulay
1952-2023
Richard Wayne «Hooch» MacAulay, age
71.
It’s with heavy hearts we announce the passing of
Ritchie on July 1, 2023 surrounded by his loving family in the
Palliative Care Unit at the Aberdeen Hospital.
Born in New Glasgow on January 2, 1952, he was son of the
late Robert and Shirley (Reynolds) MacAulay, Trenton.
During his lifetime, Richard worked at Commercial Equipment,
Michelin in Granton and finished his working career at Cooper Tire in
Fort Wayne, Indiana.
Richard was an avid sports fan and athlete often referred to
as «The Ultimate Competitor» by his teammates with several
accomplishments over the years with a love of many sports. In his
hockey days, he played goalie with the New Glasgow Bombers and Trenton
Scotia Oldtimers. In 2009, he also achieved an induction into the
Pictou County Sports Hall of Fame from his success in baseball with
the Maritime Softball Champion Trenton Junior Raiders where he played
third base. Richard was a collector of much hockey memorabilia as a
long-time supporter and devoted fan of the Toronto Maple Leafs.
Richard was also involved with other organizations over the years
including the Kiwanis Club of Fort Wayne Indiana.
Gardening and cooking were a passion for Richard. He was an
amazing cook and enjoyed watching the Food Network looking for that
next recipe to tweak a bit and make it his own (with lots of spice).
Lobster season was his favorite which he loved to share with family
and friends.
Richard is survived by sister, Elaine (Robert) Pentz, of
Trenton; his brother, Kevin (Yvonne) MacAulay, of Dartmouth;
daughters, Lesley (Glen) Dewtie, of Weyburn, Sask; Allison (Jonathan)
MacIvor, of New Glasgow, Amber (Mike) Bradley, of PEI; grandchildren
Courtney (Adam) Harbers, Avery Dewtie, Sophie MacIvor, Jaxon MacIvor;
step daughter, Amy (Kevin) Freiburger; step grandchildren, Aubrey and
Lydia Freiburger, Indiana; niece Kayla MacAulay; nephews, Kurtis
MacAulay, Raymond Pentz; great-niece, Myla; and good friends, Stevie
Hendsbee, Myles Fisher, Tom Glavine and many other special people who
took time to visit in recent years.
He fought a long courageous battle with his health since
moving back from Fort Wayne, Indiana to his roots back in Pictou
County with a strong will to live and never giving up. A special
thanks to health care workers who showed kindness and empathy to
Richard in his time of need which will never be forgotten at the
Aberdeen Hospital and Dialysis Clinic in Antigonish, for which Richard
will always be grateful.
Visitation will take place at R.H. Porter Funeral Home, 55
Almont Ave., New Glasgow on Wednesday, July 12, 2023 from 6-8pm with
