Kenneth Angus ‘Kenny’ McDonald
1938-2017
McDonald, Kenneth Angus «Kenny» – Age 78, of Troy,
Inverness Co. Passed away peacefully on Saturday, September 2, 2017 in
Strait Richmond Hospital, Evanston. Born in Montreal on November 8,
1938, he was the son of the late Donald John and Margaret (Robertson)
McDonald.
In the late 50’s Ken apprenticed with Canadian
Pacific Railway in Montreal to earn his Sheet Metal trade. In 1963 his
trade brought him to Cape Breton to work with Nova Scotia Forest
Industries, where he remained employed until his retirement in 1997. A
city boy, Ken very quickly embraced the joys of rural living and loved
his ocean view property on Route 19. Learning to dance square sets to
many Scottish fiddlers, Ken also embraced his own (Alexandria,
Ontario) Scottish roots. Kenny, as he was known among his fellow
workers, will be remembered as a quiet, gentle and well respected man
who worked hard to provide for his family. He was active in the Port
Hawkesbury Lion’s Club for eighteen years, was a member of
the Port Hawkesbury Evergreen Seniors Club and contributed to his
church community by serving as member of the Stella Maris
Men’s Club, a Eucharistic Minister and as a
lector.
Ken is survived by his loving wife of 58 years, Martha
(Lavoie); children, Lynn (Bob) Martin, Port Hood; Wayne (Janet Lee),
Riverview, NB; David (Sherry), Sydney; Lisa Whitty, Grand
Anse; Paul (Cindy), Bedford; sister-in-law, Mary McDonald,
Peterborough, Ontario; ten grandchildren and six great-grandchildren.
He was predeceased by his identical twin, Jim and his brother,
Donald.
