Please share a memory of Dan to include in a keepsake book for family and friends.
MacQUARRIE, Dan Allan- Age 63, Pleasant Hill. It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of a much loved brother, uncle, cousin, comrade and friend, on Tuesday, November 8, 2016, at home.
Born in Antigonish, he was a son of the late George Allen and Sarah "Sadie" Catherine (MacLean) MacQuarrie. Dan is survived by his sisters, Muriel (Willard) MacDonald; Julia (late Murdo) MacKinnon; Margie (Ronnie) Proctor and brother, Darrell (Trish) MacQuarrie and their families. He was predeceased by brother, James; infant brother, John.
Although Dan never married, his nieces, nephews, cousins and neighbours were his children and they loved him as he loved them. Dan graduated from Canso Regional Vocational School in 1972. He was a skilled mechanic who repaired many a vehicle for family, friends and neighbours. He was never more than a phone call away, whether you were stranded roadside, in the ditch or just needed a friend. "Dapper Dan" as he was fondly called, was a well respected and active member of The Royal Canadian Legion, Branch 43, Port Hawkesbury.
Cremation has taken place. Visitation will be from 3-8 p.m. Saturday in Dennis Haverstock Funeral Home, Port Hawkesbury. Memorial service will be held Sunday at 2 p.m. from St. David’s United Church, Port Hastings with Nan Corrigan DM officiating. A private family burial will take place at a later date. Memorial donations to the Royal Canadian Legion, Branch 43 Port Hawkesbury would be much appreciated. Words of comfort may be forwarded to the family at www.haverstocks.com
