some of his treasured times.
He enjoyed camping, playing his guitar, harmonica and keyboard
and was always ready for a game of crib with whomever would challenge
him. Wilfred had a passion for life and was young at heart and in mind
and soul. He loved a good joke and had a great talent for story telling,
especially over a cup of freshly brewed coffee. He loved to dance and
was the first one on the
floor and the last one off. He couldn't resist making an entrance
without his trademark dance steps. Wilfred, Dad, Grampy, Amedee,
Uncle Wilfred, Uncle Amedee, Woozie, you always put your family first.
Whenever we needed you, you were always there to offer support or lend
a hand. You will never be forgotten and will be sadly missed by all
whose lives you've touched. We are comforted by knowing that you are
still watching over us. We love you and miss you. The stairway to Heaven
must have been in need of repair. Survived by his wife of 53 years, Marion

MacLELLAN, John Neil
MacLELLAN, John Neil - It is with vast sadness and a great sense of loss
that we, as a family, announce the sudden death of our beloved father, John
Neil MacLellan, on Tuesday, October 24, 2006. He was born a son of Malcolm
Hughie and Catherine Flora (Cassie) MacLellan on February 18, 1925, in
Piper's Glen, Cape Breton. In his early years, he exhibited his sense of
entrepreneurship by starting the first part of his career as a maple syrup
producer in the Margaree area at the age of 10. His endeavors led him to
much bigger business dealings during the next 60 years in the road building,
construction, trucking and forestry sectors. After marrying the love of his
life, "Mary Jeanette Burke", they combined their mutual talents and energies
to build both a sizable business and family of children. "John Neilie" will
always be remembered as a self-made man who always put family interests
first, and will be greatly missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing
him. He has left to mourn his daughters, Cathy (Russ Berthier), Rockdale,
Richmond Co.; Donna (Ronnie Berthier), St. Andrews, Antigonish Co.; Maureen
Myers, Kempt Road; Johnene (Earl Proctor), Cobourg, Ont.; and sons, Malcolm
(Maria) and John G., both of Cleveland, N.S. Also, he leaves behind his

(in 2002), along with his siblings, Annie Mae Parsons, Jim, Mary C.
MacDonald, Donald A., Archie Dan, Charlie and Christy Mainville. At his
