John Nicholas Meagher October 3, 1919 to November 27, 2007 In God’s Grace, John Nicholas “Nick” Meagher passed away on Tuesday, November 27, 2007 with his loved ones by his side. He was predeceased by his parents, Lauchie and Catherine Meagher and brothers, Jim, Allan, Donald and John A. Nick is survived by his wife of 59 years, Catherine “Chad/Mama” (MacDougall); his sisters, Mary-Florence Chisholm and Helen MacDonald; and his brothers, Joe, Francis and J.D. His memory will rest forever in the hearts of his son Al (Carol), and his daughters, Cathy, Elayne (Tom), Liz (Jerry) and Janice (Ray). He was the proudest papa of Laughlin, Jennifer (Chad), John (Sharon), Clinton, Patrick, Derek, Jesse, Marlee and great-grandchildren, Taylor, Jakob and Nolan. He is also survived by many nieces and nephews. Nick left Brook Village, Cape Breton in 1946 to work in the mines of Northern Ontario. A tireless worker, he took great pride not only in his career in mining but also shared his talents as a carpenter with many projects in the Kirkland Lake area. He retired at the age of 65 as the Maintenance Supervisor of Teck Pioneer Residence but continued to work in forestry with Rosko Brothers and supervised numerous projects in the homes of his family and friends. A good and faithful servant, he ushered at Holy Name Parish for over 50 years, served as Eucharistic Minister and assisted at funeral liturgies. He made many life-long friends while a member of the Kirkland Lake Volunteer Fire Brigade. Nick loved the music of Cape Breton. Family and friends enjoyed many celebrations with Nick on the fiddle and Chad on the piano. Great times were also shared with family and friends while hunting and fishing. For the last year and a half Nick’s home was Toburn Wing of the Teck Pioneer Residence. The family would like to express their gratitude to the TPR staff that became his extended family. Their compassion and loving care was a blessing not only to “papa” but to “mama” and each and every one of us. The family looks forward to meeting friends on Friday, November 30th, 2007 at the Monette & French Funeral Home from 2:00 to 4:00 and 7:00 to 9:00 p.m. The funeral mass will be held on Saturday, December 1st, 2007 at 10:00 a.m. at Holy Name of Jesus Parish. Nick will be laid to rest in the Kirkland Lake Cemetery in the spring. Donations in honour of Nick will be accepted by Holy Name of Jesus Parish (39 Kirkland St. Kirkland Lake, ON.
