Angus was born in Meaford, ON and left home at 17 to begin his working life. His work took him from Geco Mines in Manitouwadge, ON, to BC starting at Bethlehem Copper in Logan Lake, followed by Prince George, Kitimat, Tahsis, Valemount, and finally to Kamloops where he worked for 20 years for Weyerhaeuser Pulp Mill, retiring as an electrical supervisor in 2000.

Angus was very involved in dedicating his free time to volunteering in the community. He was a volunteer driver with the Canadian Cancer Society’s Wheels of Hope Program and was a member of Lions Clubs International for 50 years. Angus first joined the Ashcroft & District Lions in 1964, followed by Tahsis and North Kamloops Lions Clubs. In 1990 he became a Charter Member of the Kamloops Paddlewheelers Lions Club, and was still very actively involved. He was made a Life Member in 2012 & last fall he was awarded a Lions Clubs International President’s Medal Award of which he was very proud. He loved the fun, fellowship, and service of Lions!

He enjoyed travel, woodwork, and having a good glass of wine with family and friends. Everyone he met always remembered him. His hugs and laughter will be greatly missed by all who knew him.
