Abbey’s Obituary
Aucoin, Albert “Abbey” Leo – 67, Valley, NS. It is with immense sadness that the family of Abbey Aucoin announce his sudden and unexpected passing at home on January 17, 2022. Born on August 30, 1954, in New Glasgow, he was the son of Albert Aucoin and the late Annie (LaTulippe) Aucoin. Abbey enjoyed playing his guitars, taking scenic drives, and watching his Blue Jays (the bums!). He also took great pride in his children, watching them grow into talented and lovable adults. Playing and traveling with the band Horse was an irreplaceable experience for Abbey. He’ll be picking and grinning alongside Jimi Hendrix and his old pal Dutch Mason now. He counted amongst the very first Cougars football players at Cobequid Educational Centre and later became an avid dart player. He was retired from his work as a courier at FedEx and served countless drinks at the Ponderosa in years past. He may not have remembered every name, but he would know the beer you drank! Abbey is survived by his loving wife of 29 years, Linda (Little); children, Tyler and Ashley; sister, Ann (Aucoin) Watts (Lloyd MacKay), PEI; brothers, Dale Aucoin, Halifax; Pat Aucoin, Summerside, PEI; brother-in-law, Leigh Little (Tammy Cook), Truro; and many cousins, aunts, uncles, nephews, and nieces near and far. He was predeceased by his mother, Annie Aucoin, and his wife’s parents, Gwen (Patriquin) Little and Wendell Little. Arrangements are in the care of MacDiarmid’s Funeral Home and Crematorium, Oxford. Due to the trying times our world, country and communities are facing at this time, a memorial service and celebration of life will be held at a later date. Donations in Abbey’s memory may be made to Heart and Stroke, Mental Health, or a charity of your choice. Online condolences may be made by visiting www.mmcfunerals.com

Sad news indeed. We knew Abbey back in the early eighties through my sister Susan. A good man. Deepest sympathy to the family.

Can hear those blues runs now. Always thought we would have another jam; miss those short discussions at Sobeys and lamenting the lack of music these days. Another great guitar player leaves us too soon.
