  7. My sister Lois and loving family. We are deeply saddened at the news of Angus’ passing. We have happy memories of Angus … telling funny stories, like the one of him standing with the giant Emperor Penguins in Antarctica to get his picture taken, of him playing the spoons while I played a lively tune on the piano, of Angus cooking a Cornish hen dinner for the Deanery clergy when I was in the Whitbourne rectory, and of both of you coming to visit us last September at our retirement home in Whitbourne. Angus will be remembered for his energy, work ethic, sense of humor, and generosity. He will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved him. We are sorry we cannot be there during this sad time. Sending love and hugs to you all.

  14. Sending my sister, Lois, and all the family, love and deepest condolences during this sad time. I will always cherish the fond memories I have of Angus, he brought so much joy to our lives, such a pleasure to be around. He was so generous, never letting you go without offering a cup of tea or reaching into the fridge to give you something to take with you. ( I still haven’t cooked the rabbit he gave me on my second last visit). Angus was like a big brother to me, he took me trouting and “in the woods” to cut firewood when I was just a young guy and we stayed close throughout the years. Angus has just always been a part of my life. He was just such a joy to be around, always with a joke and a smile, he just lit up a room. I’m going to miss you my brother, always in my thoughts.
