MacDonald, Alexander “Sandy” John Hugh – passed away in Colchester East Hants Health Centre surrounded by love on Sunday, April 16, 2023.
Born in Sydney in 1941, he was predeceased by his daughter, Nadine, Truro; brother, Stuart, Halifax; father, Alexander “Ailig”, East Bay, Cape Breton; mother, Peg, Big Beach, Cape Breton.
Dad is survived by his loving children, Mark, Truro; and Amy (Keola Asam), Wai’anae, Hawaii. He loved all his nieces and nephews and his grandchildren, Victoria, Saltsprings; Rebekah, Windsor; Margaret and Glyn, Truro; Haukealani, Coral, Keone, Sydney and Kailana, all of Wai’anae, Hawaii.
What an adventurous life he led. He spent his career in sales where traveling the world provided countless fodder for his storytelling. He loved having a new audience for a story maybe heard a time or two by family. Dad had a big heart and would welcome all in with a big smile to match. He loved to laugh and stayed optimistic through the most challenging times.
Dad enjoyed nothing more than being right beside Mom following and cheering on their Raptors, Blue Jays and Brooke Henderson.
Dad survived 10 weeks to the day after losing Mom, longer than we thought he might. He will be missed and remembered so fondly and can be a new shining star alongside Mom now. Love you Papa Canada! Aloha & A Hui Hou!
Cremation has taken place and a Celebration of Life to take place at a later date.
