Douglas Lowell MacBain was born in Meaghers Grant to Orrin and Alice MacBain. He was a son, brother, husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather. His legacy will live on.
Doug ran a general store in Meaghers Grant for over 30 years. A community minded man, he volunteered in many capacities during his life including the Meaghers Grant Volunteer Fire Department, St. James United Church Board, Trustee at Musquodoboit Rural High School and Eastern Shore Memorial Hospital.
Doug was predeceased by his parents and sisters, Muriel and Norma. He is survived by his loving wife, Freda; his children, Wade, Elaine, Darcey and Angela (John). “Bubby” was cherished by his grandchildren, Brooke, Drew, Reid, Rhett, Matthew, Charmaine, Adam, Justin, Leah, Corinne and Alannah and eight great-grandchildren.
Doug had a love of sports and played hockey and ball for many years. He seldom missed a Penquins or Jays game.
In later years he moved to “The Condo” in Bedford where he met many new friends, from the walking “boys”, card players and his fish. He had an active and happy retirement.
He will be dearly missed by his family and friends.
