Notes

  • Obituary: LOGAN, Alexander MacKenzie "Sandy" - 64, Cottage Street, Pictou, died peacefully at home January 10, 2006, with his loving wife Lynne and children at his side. Born in Pictou on May 6, 1941, he was a son of the late Harlan and Helen (Reid) Logan. A graduate of Pictou Academy, he was a lifelong member, and had been a Sunday school teacher and elder at Pictou United Church. Sandy retired in 1994 from Scott Maritimes Limited where he worked for 27 years as a pipefitter and was a founding member of their Emergency Response Team. A 40-year member and former training officer of the Pictou Fire Department, he was also a former member of the New Caledonia Masonic Lodge No. 11, Pictou; former president of the Pictou West Liberal Association and president of Sea View Cemetery since 1977. A lifelong resident of Pictou, Sandy had tremendous pride in his town. Dad loved to travel, meet new people, and most of all share his stories. He enjoyed yearly trips to Florida with Lynne and spending summers at their cottage in Toney River. Sandy always had several projects on the go, building, restoring, or repairing anything, whether for himself or others, particularly his antique Mustangs. In 1999, Sandy proudly drove his 1965 Mustang convertible as it carried the Stanley Cup through the town of New Glasgow. Dad relaxed by reading Clive Cussler novels, completing the lexicons, brewing beer and wine, and going on road trips with friends to the States for car shows and races. In earlier years, he enjoyed skeet shooting, curling, playing and coaching hockey. Most recently, Dad developed a new interest in the sport of Earth Dog Competition. In his last months, Sandy enjoyed visits from his cousins and friends and the time spent with his wife and children, particularly a trip to Boston in April to see his son and daughter-in-law run the Boston Marathon in his honour. He spent his last year of life surrounded by the love and constant care of his devoted wife and dear daughter. Sandy leaves behind Lynne (McIlveen), his wife of 40 years; son, Derek and his wife Emily, of Boston, Mass.; daughter, Dee, Pictou. He is also survived by brother, John, Caledonia; aunt, Jean Henderson, Plymouth; uncles, Everett Reid and James Reid, both of Welsford, as well as cousins, nieces, and nephews. He was preceded in death by sister, Mary. Visitation will be held today from 7-9 p.m. and Friday 2-4 and 7-9 p.m. in McLaren Funeral Home, Pictou. Funeral service will be held Saturday at 11 a.m. in Pictou United Church, Rev. Mary-Beth Moriarity officiating. Burial will be in SeaView Cemetery. A reception will follow in the church hall. Family flowers only please. Contributions in his memory may be made to Aberdeen Regional Hospital Palliative Care Unit, Attn: Susan Malcolm, 835 East River Rd., New Glasgow, NS B2H 3S6, or to a charity of your choice.
